Reiki (pronounced Ray-key,) means universal life energy,
a system which is non dogmatic, and allows all belief
systems to benefit from the knowledge and Reiki
technique. Reiki was re-discovered by Dr Usui, a system
believed to have originated in Japan, although various
research has uncovered roots of Reiki, in Buddhism,
teachings of Jesus Christ, Atlantis healing vocations,
Egyptian meditations and ancient know ledges from
Lumaria and Sumarian times. Reiki can be described as
the vital energy around and within all living beings.

Mikao Usui
Dr Mikao Usui (died 1926) after many years of his own
research and meditation was inspired to re-create this
healing system and spent the rest of his life devoted to
the system, teaching and practising. Dr Usui would heal
those unable to work, or begging in the street in order
that they could move themselves forward spiritualy and
independently, unfortunately Dr Usui discovered that
without any receipt of money or bartering the patient
would again move back to begging, to receive more energy
freely, as this was their independence. Therefore all
Reiki healing and knowledge must be bartered in some
acceptable form, initially the price was 10,000 GBP
equivalent, for the knowledge to ensure the patient and
student to work and make worth while their healing and
study commitment.
Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki masters who
have trained in the tradition, passed down from master
to student.
Dr Usui held five precepts, to encourage the spiritual
development and positive energy
