Usui Reiki
The Background...
The word Reiki derives from the Japanese characters for REI 靈(Universal Life) and KI 氣(Energy). A method for tuning into the natural forces & frequencies of the universe, its original term 'Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho' 心身改善臼井氣療法 translates to 'Usui Reiki Therapy for Improving Body and Mind'. A system to unite body, mind and spirit.
Brief History
Usui Reiki Ryoho is a system that originated in Japan founded by Dr Mikao Usui in 1922. Master Usui spread Reiki throughout Japan before he passed in 1926. During his time he taught between 20-22 Masters one of which was Dr Hayashi Chujiro.
In 1925 Dr Hayashi established “The Hayashi Reiki Research Institute”. Hawayo Takata came as a patient suffering from a number of serious disorders, and as a result she was completely cured. Takata was initiated by Dr Hayashi as a Master and after his death became his successor. She took the system back to Hawaii initiating 22 Masters before her death in 1980. Thanks to Takata- Reiki gradually spread throughout the West.
As Reiki continued to spread in the West many were unaware that it was still thriving in Japan behind closed doors. Chiyoko Yamaguchi was one who learnt with Dr Hayashi in 1938. She came from a dedicated family of practitioners including her uncle Wasaburo Sugano a senior teacher- who all learnt with Dr Hayashi. In 1999 she founded "The Jikiden Reiki Institute" with her son Tadao Yamaguchi in an attempt to pass down the original teachings from Master Usui and Dr Hayashi. The knowledge we share come from both Usui Shiki Ryoho & Jikiden Reiki lineage.

What it Offers
Reiki works on balancing the mind, body and energy to improve overall health and wellbeing. It is a great tool to assist in identifying root causes and pinpointing energetic disturbances that restrict Qi from flowing. Each session can offer valuable guidance and awareness for self growth. Once released Qi can move more freely resulting in an improved energy system. It is not a miracle cure but can assist in creating a better environment to support your body's own healing system.
A Reiki session extends beyond just physical benefits. It assists in a deeper understanding of our self, however the true benefits come when the individual works alongside to make the effort and intention to change. A Reiki practitioner is merely a channel to offer a helping hand to support you in the process. When individuals are fully open to merging with Reiki, this is when you will receive the full potential of what it has to offer.
