Mikao Usui interview about Reiki

Reiki in the words of the founder Mikao Usui.

From ancient times whenever someone develops a secret method the one would teach this to the people among family, as a legacy for the later generations of the family living. That idea, not to open to the public and keep that sacred method in the family, is really the past century's bad custom.

In modern days we have to live together. That's going to be the basis of happiness, earnestly wanting social progress.

That's why I definitely won't allow to keep this for myself. Our Reiki Ryoho is a creative idea, which no one has developed before and there is nothing like this in this world. Therefore I am going to open this idea to anybody for the peoples benefit and welfare.

And everyone will receive the blessing from God. With this, expect everyone to have soul and oneness.

Our Reiki Ryoho is an original therapy method using the power based on Reiki, which is a universal power in the universe.

With this, first for human beings themselves to be strong and healthy. Then to improve the thoughts, to be mild and healthy, and human life to be pleasant.

Nowadays inside and outside of living we need improvement and restructuring away from illness and suffering, many fellows have worrying mind out of illness and accident.

I dare to openly teach this method.

Q. What is Usui Reiki Ryoho?

A. Graciously I have received Meiji Emperor's last injunctions. For achieving my teachings, training and improving physically and spiritually and walking in a right path as a human being, first we have to heal our spirit. Secondly we have to keep our body healthy. If our spirit is healthy and comformed to the truth, body will get healthy naturally. Usui Reiki Ryoho's missions are to lead peaceful and happy life, heal others and improve happiness of others and ourselves.

Q. Is there any similarity to hypnotism, Kiai method, religious method or any other methods?

A. No, there is no similarity to any of those methods. This method is to help body and spirit with intuitive power, which I've received after long and hard training.

Q. Then, is it psychic method of treatment?

A. Yes, you could say that. But you could also say it is physical method of treatment. The reason why is Ki and light are emanated from healer's body, especially from eyes, mouth and hands. So if healer stares or breathes on or strokes with hands at the affected area such as toothache, colic pain, stomachache, neuralgia, bruises, cuts, burns and other swellings with pain will be gone. However a chronic disease is not easy, it's needed some time. But a patient will feel improvement at the first treatment. There is a fact more than a novel how to explain this phenomenon with modern medicine. If you see the fact you would understand. Even people who use sophistry can not ignore the fact.

Q. Do I have to believe in Usui Reiki Ryoho to get better result?

A. No. It's not like a psychological method of treatment or hypnosis or other kind of mental method. There is no need to have a consent or admiration. It doesn't matter if you doubt, reject or deny it. For example, it is effective to children and very ill people who are not aware of any consciousness, such as a doubt, rejection or denying. There may be one out of ten who believes in my method before a treatment. Most of them learn the benefit after first treatment then they believe in the method.

Q. Can any illness be cured by Usui Reiki Ryoho?

A. Any illness such as psychological or an organic disease can be cured by this method.

Q. Does Usui Reiki Ryoho only heal illness?

A. No. Usui Reiki Ryoho does not only heal illness. Mental illness such as agony, weakness, timidity, irresolution, nervousness and other bad habit can be corrected. Then you are able to lead happy life and heal others with mind of God or Buddha. That becomes principle object.

Q. How does Usui Reiki Ryoho work?

A. I've never been given this method by anybody nor studied to get psychic power to heal. I accidentally realized that I have received healing power when I felt the air in mysterious way during fasting. So I have a hard time explaining exactly even I am the founder. Scholars and men of intelligence have been studying this phenomenon but modern science can't solve it. But I believe that day will come naturally.

Q. Does Usui Reiki Ryoho use any medicine and are there any side effects?

A. Never uses medical equipment. Staring at affected area, breathing onto it, stroking with hands, laying on of hands and patting lightly with hands are the way of treatment.

Q. Do I need to have knowledge of medicine?

A. My method is beyond a modern science so you do not need knowledge of medicine. If brain disease occurs, I treat a head. If it's a stomachache, I treat a stomach. If it's an eye disease, I treat eyes. You don't have to take bitter medicine or stand for hot moxa treatment. It takes short time for a treatment with staring at affected area or breathing onto it or laying on of hands or stroking with hands. These are the reason why my method is very original.

Reiki Practitioner Levels.

Levels of Reiki Practitionership
Level Ability Description
I Hands on Introductory level. Gives access to the energy and direct hands on healing as shown in the paper on traditional hand positions. Requires 4 attunements.
II Level I plus Healing at a distance This level teaches three of the traditional four symbols used in Reiki. There is generally an increase in the amount of power. The practitioner can also do healing at a distance. Requires 2 attunements.
III (Master) Level II plus the Master Symbol Teaches the fourth symbol, the Master Symbol. There is generally, again, an increase in power. Requires 4 attunements.
Master Teacher Level III plus the ability to train Reiki practitioners Many teachers do not see this as a separate level from III, while some do require further training for Master Teacher. This level does not require further attunements nor further symbols. Instead it is posession of the confidence and knowledge to conduct a Reiki class. This generally comes from apprenticeship with an experienced Reiki teacher to see what it's like on the other side of the table.

Inscript from the book "New Chakra Healing: The Revolutionary 32-Center Energy System by Cindi Dale:

The eighth chakra is incredibly interesting.

... Here one also finds the Akashic Records, the "books upon which is recorded all we have ever seen, done or said, in this life or in any other.

Cherokee teacher Ywahoo calls these records "The Temple of Understanding" which contains "....all the programs of our expression in this life and the other lives which are co-existing." (Ywahoo, 106). Because of this, we can gain access to anything about our past through the eighth chakra.

... This chakra is rich in information about our karma, the slate of issues we have come to work out and learnings we seek to acquire Because we record in this chakra information about others and their roles in our lives, it is here we can find many of the cords which currently affect us. We can also trace our patterns (the habitual processes in which we get stuck) through our eighth chakra, making it a valuable access point for healing chronic physical or emotional problems, and difficult relationships. Because it relates to time, many of our issues can be resolved through this chakra."

The Akashic records are the life records of each soul ...

The Akashic Records describe the karmic goals, debts, contracts and life purpose of each soul's many incarnations, including the present lifetime.

By using of the Reiki symbol in healing, present life traumas can be reprogrammed so that literally they change the future. Past life patterns can be uncovered and released, and karmic debts resolved. All of this happens in direct hands-on healing sessions, usually in a series of healings."

WHAT IS AKASHA?

Akashic records readings allow you to tap into knowledge that you normally wouldn’t have access to. It is said that these records contain all the knowledge of human experience, and the history of the cosmos.

In Sanskrit Akasha means sky, space or aether. This term comes from the Hindu mysticism.

This “universal computer” is constantly updated and records every action, word or thought.

The Akashic records are also have been referred to by different names such as the collective subconscious, or the collective unconscious, cosmic mind or universal mind.

These records are like a library that is filled with knowledge about past, present and possible future.

A lot of people believe that these records are almost like a guide from God and that they contain all secrets to life, everything that the universe has planned for you.

The Akashic records can be accessed through Reiki.

The Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen or Long Distance symbol connects to the Akashic Records and can be used to heal karmic patterns, dis-ease in the body or any mental or emotional pain.

There are other ways to access the Akashic records, such as astral projection, and other special states of consciousness induced by meditation, prayer, pranayama, visualization, illness, certain stages of sleep, etc.

The concept of having an Akashic record read come in the 19th century and is used widely today.
