| Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a system of | | | | |
| Enlightenment and a Hands on Healing art | | | | Email: s.co.uk |
| developed in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui | | | | |
| in Japan. It is an art that is passed from | | | | Web site: |
| Master to student. The word Reiki comes from | | | | |
| two Japanese words - Rei and Ki, meaning | | | | (613) 823-7113 |
| Universal Life Force Energy. The term "Reiki" | | | | |
| is used to describe both the energy and the | | | | International Association of Reiki |
| Usui system of using it. The original system | | | | |
| by Usui was called Usui Reiki Ryoho. | | | | Lesni 14, 46001 Liberec 1 |

| A Japanese Tendai Buddhist named Mikao Usui | | | | Czech Republic |
| claimed to have discovered Reiki after long | | | | |
| meditation, fasting, and prayer. Usui wrote | | | | Phone/Fax (420) 48 424-629 |
| that by mystical revelation he had gained the | | | | |
| knowledge and spiritual power to apply and | | | | Email: net.cz |
| attune others to what he called Reiki. Mikao | | | | |
| Usui said that he had the ability to enable | | | | Web site: |
| people to enhance their access to the energy | | | | |
| through certain initiations. Usui taught that | | | | Mari Hall, Reiki Master |
| his attunements to Reiki enhanced and refined | | | | |
| a person's pre-existing ability to connect | | | | Usui-Do (Traditional Japanese Reiki) update |
| with Reiki. Through such initiations, | | | | |
| students are said to become clearer channels | | | | The Usui-Do Foundation |
| for Reiki, and thereby improve the quality of | | | | |
| treatments that student (or practitioner) | | | | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
| provides. | | | | |

| Some schools of Reiki are said to believe | | | | |
| that Mikao Usui was pursuing knowledge of | | | | Email: |
| healing before he developed his Reiki method | | | | |
| and that he also studied traditional Chinese | | | | Web site: |
| medicine, Ayurveda, Qigong, and Yoga. Usui, | | | | |
| however, claimed that the awakening of Reiki | | | | Reiki New Zealand Inc. |
| and the development of his techniques was | | | | |
| something entirely different. Nonetheless, | | | | PO Box 60-226 |
| Reiki appears to be based loosely around | | | | |
