Dr. Mikao Usui

Born August 15th, 1865 in the Yamagata district of Gifu prefecture in a village called Yago. Usui studied Buddhism at the school and temple on Mt. Kurama as a child. It is also thought that he may have studied a Japanese form of Chi Kung called Ki Ko and other oriental healing systems.  

Reiki, was rediscovered in the late 1880’s by Dr. Mikao Usui, on his quest to find the energy form, that he knew existed for healing purposes. He sat on a mountain for 21 days, and on the 21st day he was given what he had been waiting for.   He embraced this new energy, and among those he taught were Dr. Hayashi and Mrs Takata. It was Mrs Takata who took the energy to the Western World.

What is Reiki all about?

Reiki was brought to New Zealand in 1985, and has since grown rapidly, mainly because of its simplistic nature and effectiveness.   People who become attuned to the Usui System of Natural Healing, then have the ability to channel Reiki Energy through their hands to heal themselves, and to assist their family and friends to also heal themselves.   Animals also have a great affinity to the energy, and my cats and dogs love to lay on my hands, for however long they need to.  

To become Attuned all one needs is a desire to change one’s life, and to find the Reiki Master that they feel comfortable with.   Once the Reiki Channels have been opened, it is there for life.
