Greetings everyone, since some people asked, I would like to share with you a summary of - what I think - were the most important stations throughout the history of Reiki - and how these events eventually caused "different Styles" of Reiki. I gathered and summarized this information from these (highly recommended) books: - This is Reiki (Frank Arjava Petter) - Light on The Origins of Reiki (Tadao Yamaguchi) - Reiki and Japan (Masaki Nishina) If you are only interested in the point in time of the major changes of Reiki, feel free to skip to the 1970s. -------------------------------------------------------------- TIMELINE: - 1865 - Mikao Usui is born - 1868 - Beginning of the period of emperor Meiji - 1870 - Proclamation of State Shinto*: *Shinto is the indigenous spirituality of Japan, focusing on the worship of kami — spirits or gods associated with natural phenomena, ancestors, and significant cultural sites. It emphasizes harmony with nature, ritual purity, and reverence for Japan's divine heritage. With emperor Meiji, Shinto was framed as a patriotic, nationalistic tradition, emphasizing loyalty to the Emperor and the divine nature of the Japanese state. The emperor was viewed as a divine figure, central to Japan's identity. - 1908 - Japan restricts immigration to the U.S. - 1914 - Japan sides with the Allied Powers in World War I - 1914 - Mataji Kawakami introduces "Reiki Ryoho" as a healing method: He publishes a book about it in 1919. In addition, there is evidence that there were at least 3 other Reiki styles developed before Usui (Reikan Tonetsu Ryoho, Senshin-ryu Reiki Ryoho, Seido Reisho-jutsu), none of which were spread and taught publicly though. - 1922, March - Mikao Usui meditates on Mt. Kurama to find inner peace. On the 21st day he passes out and awakes with the ability and awareness of Reiki. - 1922, April - Usui creates the Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, (the Usui Healing System Learning Society).

How do your mornings usually look like? Curious if you have some sacred routines or if you get at it straight away. I am a little obsessed with morning routines. When I discovered the power of waking up early (earlier), it opened up a whole new world for me! These were some of the benefits I experienced: 🌞 Feeling proud for overcoming the first 'obstacle' 🌞 The feeling of being ahead 🌞 No rushing 🌞 Taking time for personal practice (meditation/ journalling/ yoga/ reiki etc), without many distractions yet. Do you resonate or you prefer to hit 'snooze' one more time? 👀 So this is how most of my mornings look like: - Waking up at 6am - 1 hour of mediation - Yoga/ stretch/ slow movement - Breakfast - Coffee & writing - Get to work! 🔥 Would love to know yours! ⭐

Hello Reiki flock! Great to be here. I had my first attunement 20 years ago and now it’s been a few years that I teach reiki in group retreats and individual sessions. I’m Reiki instructor of Western Usui Reiki but at the same time I am transitioning to Jikiden Reiki (Reiki before Takatas generation). Happy to be here for exchange of information and mutual help. Hugs

My name is Vanessa I’m originally from Colombia but I live in The Netherlands. I started my inner work 5 years ago. En this year I feel my soul calling to start whit reiky. I want to get these 3 things from the community: 1. Find community with likeminded people (and maybe even new friends) 2. Integrate Reiki into my routine and work 3. To share experiences For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1. Read a book, now I’m reading breaking the habit of being yourself from Dr. Joe Dispenza 2. To talk about the magic of the universe, healing and manifestations💫✨ 3. Dans I like to dans and get in a high vibration ✨💃🏼
