What is Reiki?

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It uses a method frequently called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative treatment and is often classified as oriental medicine by some expert bodies. Utilizing this technique, professionals transfer therapeutic energy in the form of ki through the palms.
The two main divisions of Reiki, known as Standard Japanese Reiki and Western Reiki. Within both Traditional and Westernized forms of Reiki, there are three forms of degrees, commonly referred to as the First, Second, and Master/Teacher degree. According to Reiki practitioners and Masters, at First Degree, a Reiki practitioner is able to heal himself and others, at Second Degree is able to heal others distantly (commonly called distant healing) with the use of specialised symbols, and at Master level (specifically Master/Teacher level) is able to teach and attune others to Reiki.

Reiki was made by Mikao Usui in 1922 whilst carrying out Isyu Guo, a twenty-one day Buddhist training program held on Mount Kurama. It is not known for certain what Usui was required to do during this training, although it probably involved introspection, going on a fast, chanting, and prayer. It is claimed that by a mystical revelation, Usui had gained the knowledge and spiritual capability apply and attune others to what he called Reiki, which entered his body through his crown Chakra. In April 1922, Usui moved to Tokyo and founded the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in order to continue the treatment of people on a large scale with Reiki.

According to the inscription on his memorial stone, Usui taught Reiki to over 2000 people during his lifetime, and sixteen of these students continued their training to reach the Shinpiden level, a level equivalent to the Western third, or Master/Teacher, degree. While teaching Reiki in Fukuyama, Usui suffered a stroke and died on 9 March 1926.
