Brief History of Reiki
In ancient India and Tibet, spiritual healers practiced Reiki for purification and enlightenment, though it was kept secret for centuries. This practice was lost until the late 1800s when Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese monk, rediscovered it during his spiritual journey to uncover how Buddha and Christ healed through touch.
Usui’s methods became the foundation of modern Reiki. In the 1930s, Mrs. Hawayo Takata brought Reiki to the United States after being healed through it, and she spread the teachings globally. Today, Reiki is practiced worldwide, offering gentle healing and balance for people, animals, plants, and even projects.
