Usui Reiki Ryoho   A Short History

The discernment between reality and myth is somewhat difficult. Others who have researched the history including Frank Arjava Petter, Taggart King and Bronwen and Frans Stiene have shed much light on the origins of Reiki.

All agree that it was founded by Usui Mikao in the Late 1800’s and early 1900’s and that there is indeed a link to Japanese Buddhist practise. It however does not have any discernible link to Tibetan Buddhism as claimed by some.

Reiki In Japan

The system of healing that evolved from Usui Mikao’s method is called the Usui System of Natural Healing - Usui Do or later as Usui Reiki Ryoho.

There are so many Reiki sites and many books written about Reiki. Many of these have mythologised the development of Reiki.

It is our understanding that the following is true.

Usui Mikao, or Usui Sensei as he is called by his students in Japan, is the founder of the Usui System of Reiki. He was born August 15, 1865 in the village of (Yago)Taniai in the Yamagata district of Gifu prefecture, Japan.

Usui Mikao was a Tendai Buddhist who spent many years developing his own spiritual practice. This included the study of at least 2 mystical forms of Buddhism Shugendo and Mikkyo. He had studied kiko (somewhat like qigong) and had naturally focussed on a number of Buddhist practices. The culture of the time was heavily influenced by buddhism, shintoism, taoism as well as to some degree shamanism.

Usui’s peer group were concerned about the loss of some of the old ways. This group were actively involved in reinstituting past practice. One of Usui’s peers was responsible for developing Aikido whilst others were involved in Judo etc.

Usui studied for many years and developed skills to a very high degree. After many years of personal practice, including meditation, reading and ki work he took on a number of students and guided them in the ways that he knew. (Usui Do)

As a practitioner of palm healing he was approached by the navy to assist them by training some naval officers to use palm-healing as a form of first aid. This he did and as a result his methods became more and more known in Japan.

In his practice he included symbols (shirushi) and mantras (jumon) to assist those who were new to this form of personal spiritual formation.

Usui instituted three levels of training so that students could be assisted with their development.

He developed a System of Reiki which included a daily recitation of Precepts (Gokai), Meditation using breathing techniques, Palm healing (Tenohira), Symbols and Mantras and Reiju or blessings.
