Reiki, as we know it today, began in the early 1900s. It is recorded that through study, research and meditation a Japanese man, Mikao Usui, had an experience of empowerment that led to the development of Reiki as a healing system. Usui devoted the rest of his life to practising and teaching this art of living and healing. Over time the system of Reiki healing developed by Mikao Usui has evolved, or been changed, by subsequent teachers. Today a number of different forms, or branches, of Reiki are practised worldwide. A common element of many forms of Reiki is a set of principles or precepts. While there are variations in the expression and interpretation of the precepts, they are all based on the original teachings of Mikao Usui. "The true purpose of the Reiki method is to correct the heart-mind, keep the body fit, and lead a happy life using the spiritual capabilities humans are endowed with since birth." The Five Principles
Recite the five principles morning and evening, and keep them in one's heart. Today, throughout the entire day:
Do not become angry
Worry about nothing
Express one's gratitude
Be diligent in work
Be kind to others
Disclaimer: Reiki Healing is not a cure for what ails oneself... It is purely a cleansing channel to assist positive energy to flow throughout the body to aid healing. Eating healthily, sleeping well and surrounding yourself with Love and Light are all necessary for your well being.
