One of my student last week asked me Where does Reiki come from?
Reiki as such is seen having its roots in India having passed thru
Tibet, China and Japan where it was rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui. Reiki
in its Unlimited inner potential comes from no where because its
everywhere in everything. Its ungraspable and yet can be directly
experienced by anyone.
According to Usui's Method of Healing, Reiki
is one of the branch of various healing arts.According to Usui's own
writings Reiki that we have is known to be the combination of 7 tantrik
teachings developed by layman and is connected with the scriptures and
energy transmissions and attunements related to Buddha.
In a deeper
sense as Universal Life Force Energy is the underlying nature of
everything.Due to our preoccupation with the 5 senses we have forgotten
that we have this bountiful source of energy.By being open and aware of
the Energy we can draw how much every energy that we require.
Then why attunements?
The empowerment of Reiki is to reconnect or re-establish the direct
energetic channel. In the beginning we feel that the energy is coming
from outside and passing thru us and slowly we regain the awareness of
all that we have is within our heart ( or within our body)
Love and Light!
