THE HISTORY OF REIKI

Reiki, pronounced ray-key, is Japanese for ‘universal life energy and is a  system of natural healing discovered by Mikao Usui. 

While on a meditation retreat at Mount Kurama Kyoto in 1922,  Dr. Usui had a life changing experience  where  he was divinely given information and from this he developed the simple system of Reiki that we know today.

The Reiki Principles

To bring the spiritual depth into everyday life, Dr Usui created the five principles. They can be found on his memorial stone in the grounds of the Saihoji Temple in Tokyo.

Just for today:

  • Do not anger
  • Do not worry
  • Be grateful
  • Work with diligence
  • Be kind to others.

Every morning and every night, sit with palms placed together and speak these principles out loud into your heart.
