Reiki itself is a Japanese spiritual system that has been used in Japan at least back until the Meiji period, where spiritualist, shaman, and priests used this term to describe their practices. The first time a book was printed about Reiki was in 1919 by a Therapist from Japan.\n\nThe Reiki that we have commonly come to know today as 'Reiki' started life as a spiritual system taught by a Japanese man named Mikao Usui. In around the year of 1920 Usui, a devout Buddhist, had a Satori (a breakthrough, enlightenment) that allowed him to realize that the ultimate goal in life was to live by "unity of self through harmony and balance". He created a system for doing so, based on Buddhist and Shinto beliefs that were held outside the confines of the very controlling Japanese government during his time (in Usui's time, Religion that was not state run was forbidden). In around 1921 he started to teach others his system, calling it a 'philosophical' path, which was controlled by the Japanese Department of Education.\n\nIn around 1922, Usui's friend started to teach his own 'philosophical' path that included hand healing as part of the practice. This system was based heavily on folk Shinto - which was outlawed during this time. In 1923, Usui added hand healing to his practice, as well as blessing ceremony (the predecessor to todays attunement) - both derived from his friend.\n\nIn 1925, several Japanese Navy Admirals joined Usui's School. They became very interested in the hand healing methods, and, shifted focus of the school to devoting their time refining their practice at it. In 1926, Usui would pass away, leaving the school to his senior students and his friend.\n\nIn 1926, these people would found the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai - a memorial group dedicated to the work of Usui. They would recognize Usui, posthumously, as their first President. They would teach both Usui's spiritual system as well as hand healing. As time went on, less and less of Usui's spiritual system was being taught, reserved for more advanced students. Newer students would be taught hand healing methods instead.\n\nIn around 1928, Usui's friend would leave the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai because of disagreements that he had with the way things were being run. He went on to found his own spiritual system and taught his own hand healing method.\n\nIn 1930ish, Dr. Hayashi, one of the Navy Admirals, would leave the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai because of differences in how things were being run. He went on to create his own style of Reiki (with many changes - focusing primarily on Hand healing), and, run his own healing clinic.\n\nIn 1935, a woman would seek out Hayashi for Reiki treatments and would be successfully healed by Hayashi. She would go on to learn Reiki from Hayashi. Her name was Hawayo Takata.\n\nIn 1938, Takata would bring 'Hayashi Reiki' to America, change it again, and call it Usui Shiki Ryoho. At this point, her Reiki looks nothing like the Reiki that the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai was teaching. Her Reiki was taught as a hand healing method and lacked much of the traditional spiritual teachings as well as the meditative practices common in Traditional Reiki.\n\nIn 1941, Japan would bomb Pearl Harbor. Americans would hate ANYTHING having to do with Japan. Knowing this, Takata would re-write Reiki history, telling a tale of Usui being both a Doctor and a Christian Minister. She did this with hopes that the USA was a very Christian Society, so, if she could make Reiki and Usui linked to Christianity, Americans would not have prejudices against either. Also, Takata believed that Doctors were universally accepted, so, making Usui a Doctor, she believed that Americans would be further put at ease.\n\nAfter this, Takata would go on to teach 22 Reiki Masters with this 'new' Reiki. These 22 Masters would spread out across America and teach this system to the masses. This is where American Reiki was b

This is a loaded question. First, there are many kinds of 'Reiki' out there - and new ones being invented every day. The Reiki that was taught by Usui-San in the 1920's is very different from the Reiki that we have today. Reiki evolved from a spiritual/philosophical practice and has now become a hands on healing modality. \n\nOn Usui's own memorial inscription its states that 'anyone can access reiki because it begins within each of us.' In an interview in 1922, Usui went on to state that he 'received no special gift or empowerment.'\n\nThe attunements that Usui did were spiritual blessings or Recognition - denoting that the student had learned a certain body of knowledge that Usui was trying to convey (called Reiju). These Reiju did not confer the ability to access Reiki - practice and study by the student did.\n\nDr. Hayashi would change this attunement process into a vehicle that delivered the gift of reiki itself (called Denju). Lastly, Takata would change it again and bring it to the USA - as the Reiki gift itself.\n\nMost Reiki teachers today follow the Takata teachings and believe strongly in the attunement process to convey Reiki ability. \n\nIn order to be able to access 'Reiki' on your own, you would have to undergo extensive training in matters relating to the spirit and mind - the average person would not be able to achieve this - especially today. It is much easier just to receive modern attunements / empowerments.

One time on a camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nOn another camping trip, I put my tent right in the middle of a natural faery ring. When I camp, I always have a flashlight with me at all times. The only place I could have lost it was in my tent, so I searched my tent, and the flashlight was not in there. Then I had two friends search the tent, and they couldn't find the flashlight. I put out offerings to the fae, and the next morning, the flashlight was back in my tent.\n\nPersonally, I do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nOne time on a camping trip, we created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.

Remember that Reiki is "Universal Life Energy". Whenever you share your compassion with the purpose of healing someone; Reiki works for the best outcome for Love to be expressed and realized. There is no danger in Loving someone so there no danger sharing Reiki with someone.

No, Reiki does not fade with time. Once a practicioner always a practicioner whether or not you use it. What happens is maybe you forget a position but it comes back to you. You can't screw up Reiki. It is not ours to screw up. We are merely a channel for the energy. Just like an extension chord. By itself it doesn't make the radio go however plug it into the outlet which is like the Universe, then it becomes a conduit for the energy to make the radio go. Positive and negative energy telling the differences. Positive energy is always done for the highest good. We send positive energy to the body and we take out the negative energy from the sick person that is not conducive to his healing. We feel the negative energy in his chi and aura and we drag it out. We can't catch his disease because the conduit only has a one way flow of energy. We take it out and throw it on the ground and mother earth will take that negative disease causing energy and recycle it.

Does this help?\n\nhttp://www.witchvox.com/vn/sh/ukgb2_sh.html

Yes it does. Reiki will balance the chakras (energy centers) and with this energy balanced will help the patient get out of that depression, you have to be careful an actually know how to care of that patient, if there is depression there will be emotional baggage coming out so you will have to be ready to help that patient. if that patient is willing meditation will help as well. Good luck and god bless.

ok, first, many doctors and hospitals use Reiki. Universities are studying the effects of Reiki. Reiki is accepted in the Medical community. Some people fail to realize this. \n\nI do not believe you could be prosecuted for prostitution simply because you are not engaged in a sex act. Reiki is done clothes on and typically without touching sensitive areas of the body (breast/groin). There is much evidence to support this - many books and web sites state these ideas. I would not worry about this.\n\nWhat I would be concerned with, however, is if Reiki is added to 'somatic practices' under your state or local laws. Somatic means 'of the body' and can include things like Reiki, Reflexology, Massage Therapy, etc... . Many states are adopting this phrase to include more practices than the traditional licensor of Massage therapy. The scary thing here is that often times, these governments do not recognize certain schools that teach a particular modality. In other words they will not recognize your training if you have not had training from a government recognized school. It has happen with Reflexology in another state. This can leave you in a bind because most Reiki instructors work independently, without association to any state or local governments.\n\nOne way around all of this, however, is to get ordained as a non-denominational minister and refer to your Reiki practice as divinely guided energy. Because of this, Reiki is taken from a physical modality and placed into a spiritual practice. It cant be regulated in the same way and under the same laws. Most importantly, it is legal and allows you to do honest work within the confines of the law. To be certain though, I would consult with local or state authorities first, or a lawyer. \n\nIn my case, this very thing opened the door for me to do spiritual counseling for local area hospitals regarding areas of Buddhist and non-denominational concern. It can also get your foot in the door if you would want to practice Reiki in a hospital. \n\nI wish you well on your journey.\n\nIf you'd be interested in the ministerial thing, let me know. I can direct you to a web site that can give you this in a very short time with very, very little cost to you(< $10.00).

I have been involved with Traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho for well over 10 years. In that time I have seen some pretty remarkable things.\n\nI have treated myself for bee stings several times. It reduced the pain, the swelling went down, and the area was only red in  around the local area of the sting itself.\n\nI have treated a woman who had endometriosis and ovarian cysts. After 10 consecutive Reiki sessions, her doctor told her that everything was clear.\n\nI have treated people with head colds and their congestion immediately broke up and drained. \n\nI have treated many with mental / emotional disorders. Reiki is a powerful tool used in conjunction with somatic psychology. \n\nI have worked with clients, treating infertility, skin conditions, high blood pressure, stress reduction, etc... .\n\nI have sent Reiki about 15,000 miles around the world to a friend. It worked. \n\nReiki is a subtle, yet, very powerful modality. I love it and use it in conjunction with a variety of other healing modalities.

Pranic Healing\nIt is an ancient, East Indian perception that the universe is filled with fine energy, called Prana, a building block of all things. Prana can penetrate everything, can appear and disappear without a pattern the mind could distinguish. I understand Prana as the original chaos, mentioned in many texts of creation, because it does not follow an observable pattern, an order. \n\nAs a child, my sister showed me tiny, sparkling, silver energy "particles" crossing the blue sky like threads and dots. They moved quickly, and appeared and disappeared equally quickly. We just called them "silver threads." \n\nLater in physics I learned about tachyon energy. This is a scientifically recognized form of energy which can appear and disappear. Finally I made the connection that tachyon energy must be what we called "silver threads" as children, and what the East Indians called Prana.\n\nSince Prana is the building block for our universe, Prana can heal and can be concentrated. Some people are good doing it, and you may be one of them. I believe that healers concentrate Prana to increase their own life energy and then send it to others who need and accept it for healing. \n\nThe transfer of energy from one person to another during healing has been photographed on Tesla-Kirlian photographs, amazing! The Tesla-Kirlian camera is an electric camera which works with a high frequency field. In the dark, you would see sparks flying out of your hands, if you would place your hand on such camera. \n\nSome healers have exhausted life energy after healing, they do not draw enough Prana from the universe, where this energy is in abundance. Others gain life energy during healing that is, when healing others, they themselves are healed. Jesus must have healed the same way and could even feel, when someone touched his robe to draw energy from him for healing.\n\nUnless you can get a Tesla-Kirlian photograph, you have to experience and feel Pranic healing in order to prove it to yourself. You may also want to look at the many books on Tesla-Kirlian energy, which show different states of life energy or pranic energy of living beings and materials. These photographs are beautiful. One can see distorted life energy up to 35 years ahead of a physical symptom, which means, one can heal before getting sick!\n\nWishing you much Prana in your corner of the earth! Cordially, India.Magica

Receiving an attunement (from a skilled Master, not just anyone on the internet who says "Pay me money and I'll attune you") involves a one to full days of training. While you can't really hurt someone with Reiki, you can bring their energy out of balance, so you really do need training on how to molve that energy through their system. \nFor example: If you move your hands from the top of the head down to the pelvis, that can depleat the engery of someone. If you move your hands in the opposite direction the energy increases. \n\nEnjoy your Reiki sessions for yourself, but if you want to do more with Energy healing, try Reiki or another modality. There are others than Reiki, like Pranic Healing (Master Cho), Energy Medicine (Dona Eden), and many more. Find the right modality for you before you choose to get training in one.

It sounds like what happened to you is almost exactly what happened to me over 10 years ago.  While working with a Reiki practitioner, I too had what I now know was a Kundalini awakening.  At the time, however, neither the practitioner nor I knew what had happened.  All she could say was that it had never happened to her in all the years she'd been working on people and that she felt the power that came from me nearly overwhelm her.  I went to another Reiki person and described what happened.  She said that it sounded like a Kundalini experience and gave me a referral of a registered Kundalini Yoga Teacher.  I began practicing Kundalini Yoga then and haven't stopped since.  \nIn answer to some of your questions:\n>>>Is this something that I should seek more of?<<<\nThe answer is yes.  I suggest you go to www.kundaliniyoga.com and find a qualifed Teacher near you. Or you can take classes online at www.yogijim.com\n\n>>>Could I and should I learn to do this on my own?<<<\nYes.  You will learn over time to control this powerful energy that will allow you to experience the feeling of being totally and wholly aware. \n\n>>>What is the value of this kundalini energy?<<<\nThis energy can be transmuted into any positive aspect of life. Creativity. Spirituality. Deeper and more satifying sexual relations, Prosperity...anything.\nAgain, I stress the value of finding a qualified IKYTA (www.kundaliniyoga.com) Teacher to guide you.\nBlessings,\nSat Nam

First off, Reiki is NOT massage. During a Reiki session, you should be fully clothed and the practitioner will only lay hands on your clothes, or you may even opt for a total hands-off session with hands a few inches above your body.  A massage usually involves the client being semi-undressed with significant hands-on skin-to-skin contact by the therapist.\nA massage therapist who also knows Reiki may offer a Reiki massage, but that's not the same as a regular Reiki session.\nA Reiki practitioner channeling Reiki isn't dangerous. You are thinking of channeling spirits, which is different. \nIf you feel good about getting a treatment from someone, then try it. If during the session you start to feel uncomfortable in any way, speak up.  A reputable person will immediately stop the treatment.
