What is Reiki?
Reiki healing is one of the most popular known energy healing system available right now. Reiki is a Japanese based healing technique that uses life force energy (also known as ‘prana’ in the Sanskrit language) to heal physical, emotional and mental health problems. Reiki is a Japanese word where “Rei” means “Universal” and “Ki” means “life force energy”. Hence, Reiki can be considered a universal life force energy.
Dr. Mikao Usui – Founder of Reiki Healing
Reiki system was first developed by a Japanese Buddhist called Mikao Usui in 1922. He was born on 15 August 1865 in Japan and left the physical body on 09 March 1926. Dr. Usui had spent a lot of time meditating on a sacred mountain near Kyoto, Japan in search of attaining healing power. On the last day of the meditation, he saw a point of light coming towards him. The beam was very powerful and struck him on his forehead, knocking him unconscious. When he regained his consciousness, he saw bubbles of light that had symbols. As he looked and studied the symbol for a long time, he received an attunement for that symbol and knowledge of its use. This way, he was initiated into the use of Reiki healing power.
Dr. Mikao Usui used Reiki on himself and on his family members. After validating the results, he made Reiki available to the public and started teaching to students. It is believed that he taught Reiki to over 2000 students.
How Does Reiki Healing Works?
Reiki practitioner channels the life force energy through his hands to the patient. Reiki has its own consciousness and doesn’t require the will of the healer to direct the energy. This makes Reiki different than other energy healing modalities. Example: Suppose a patient has pain in knees but its root cause lies in the basic chakra of the patient. If Reiki is projected on knees by the practitioner, Reiki will automatically be directed to basic chakra and will heal basic chakra first. Reiki healer is not required to know the root cause or deep spiritual knowledge to heal the patient. That’s why Reiki is known to be one of the simple energy healing modalities to learn.

Reiki 5 Principles
Every person needs a deep level of purification to become a better healer. Reiki also demands the same level of purification. Dr. Mikao Usio developed 5 principles in forms of affirmations which should be practiced daily to become a better Reiki healer. These affirmations are to bring love and kindness into life and be thankful to the God/Universe for the good things we have in our life. Below is the list of 5 principles/affirmations developed by Mikao Usui:
1. Just for today, I will not worry.
2. Just for today, I will not be angry.
3. Just for today, I will be grateful.
4. Just for today, I will be honest.
5. Just for today, I will be kind.
"Reiki is love, Love is wholeness, Wholeness is balance, Balance is well being, Well being is freedom from disease."
- Dr. Mikao Usui, Founder of Reiki Healing
Reiki Healing Courses
Reiki is something that can not be learned solely but it is transferred from Reiki Master to the student by the process called ‘Attunement’. Reiki has many levels in which the initial three levels are considered important to become a good Reiki Healer. Other levels are for becoming a Reiki instructor.
Reiki Level 1:
In Reiki Level 1, attunement is done by Master to transfer Reiki energy of Level 1 to the student. After Level 1 attunement, a student can practice Reiki by laying hands on the patient. Level 1 Reiki requires the patient physically available and the practitioner needs to touch the patient to transfer the energy.
Prerequisite: None
Duration: 1-2 days
Reiki Level 2:
In Reiki Level 2, attunement is done by Reiki Grand Master to transfer Reiki energy of Level 2 to the student. In Level 2, a student is introduced with 3 Reiki symbols which are used to channel the Reiki energy to the patient. With Reiki symbols, the healing effect gets accelerated. With Level 2, the patient is not required to be physically available as distant healing becomes possible with Level 2.
Prerequisite: Reiki Level 1
Duration: 1-2 days
Reiki Level 3:
In Reiki Level 3, attunement is done by Reiki Grand Master to transfer Reiki energy of Level 3 to the student. In Level 3, a student is introduced with 1 more Reiki symbol which is known as ‘Master Symbol’. ‘Master Symbol’ makes the healing rate faster. Distant learning is also supported at this level.
Prerequisite: Reiki Level 2
Duration: 1-2 days
