What happens in a Reiki appointment with you and how does Reiki work?

In a Reiki appointment you wear your usual clothes and remove your shoes, so please wear socks. You normally then lie on a bed or can choose to sit in a chair or your wheelchair. I will then place my hands above or lightly on the areas needing treatment, where you may feel warmth or a slightly tingling from the energy from my hands. Reiki treats the areas of the body needing assistance.

What Is The History Of Reiki?

In brief, Dr Mikao Usui lived in a monastery in Kyoto in Japan. It is believed he was also a professor of Theology at Doshina University, when one day he decided to resign from his post to discover how people, like Jesus, managed to heal others. To secure the answers he travelled and studied extensively. Whilst in a Buddhist monastery he discovered a passage on healing containing some symbols. He could not find anyone who knew the meaning of the symbols. Like Moses, Jesus and Buddha, he knew a period of solitude and meditation would often provide the necessary enlightenment, so with a bag of 21 stones and no food he decided to go to the local holy mountain, Mount Kurama. Each day he removed a stone until after 21 days no stones were left. It was then in his mind he was given the answer to the healing symbols.

Dr Usui began to heal beggars free of charge, who he found quickly returned to their old ways. Many people even today perceive things are of greater value the more they cost.

Dr Usui then proceeded to pass his healing knowledge onto a retired naval officer and aristocrat called Dr Hayashi. Dr Hayashi then is understood to have set up a Reiki clinic in Tokyo called Shina No Machi.

During the Second World War Dr Hayashi was called to fight. At this point he decided a previous client of his clinic, Mrs Hawayo Takata, a young widower with two young children, should be trained to become a Reiki Master so she could carry on the Reiki teachings. She had recovered from ill health which had included a tumour; so had seen the true healing ability of Reiki. Dr Hayashi died shortly after the transfer of knowledge apparently uttering “There is no such thing as death, only great change”.

Mrs Takata took Reiki to Hawaii and from here Reiki eventually spread to the rest of the Western World. When she died in 1980 she had trained 22 Reiki Masters, including her grand-daughter Phyllis Lei Furumoto.
