History of Reiki
There are different beliefs about the origin of Reiki--one is that
it is based on Tibetan sutras (texts of Buddhism) written by monks.
Sources agree that in the mid-19th century, Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese
physician and monk, developed this healing approach and spiritual path,
named it Reiki, trained others in it, and developed an organization.
One of Dr. Usui's students further developed these teachings and
opened his own clinic in Tokyo, where, in 1936, an American named
Hawayo Takata went for treatment. Later, she trained in Reiki, became a
Master, and is credited with introducing Reiki to the West in the late
1930s.
