Usui Reiki
Reiki treatment is a traditional pattern of placing the hands, holding them without pressure on or
above the patient's body. On our Egypt tour and Nile cruise we can arrange for clients to experience
the deep relaxation that this healing energy can bring.
The word means "universal life force energy" and the use of it aims to improve health and
enhance the quality of life. It is a holistic approach treating the whole person - body, mind and
spirit - and the beneficial effects include deep relaxation and feelings of peace, security and
well being.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone
can use.
It will improve the results of all medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects,
shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress, and help create optimism.
The name Usui Reiki comes from Dr. Mikao Usui, who was a Japanese Christian educator in Kyoto, Japan.
He encountered the system in the mid 1800s, and he began an extensive study of the healing phenomena
over a period of more than twenty years.
He studied ancient Buddhist teachings written in Sanskrit and researched traditional sounds and symbols
that are related to the human body and the nervous system, and which enable the universal life
energy for healing.
Usui collated this information and developed the techniques of application of Reiki in these ways,
and he named his system of healing "Usui Reiki", and he taught it throughout Japan until his death
around 1893.
The traditions he established have been passed through several grandmasters such as
Dr. Chujiro Hyashi, Hawayo Takata, and Phyllis Lei Furumoto.
The Usui Reiki System of Natural Healing balances and strengthens the body's energy, promoting its
ability to heal itself.
The system is useful in treating serious illnesses as well as sports injuries, cuts, burns, internal
diseases, emotional disorders, and stress-related illnesses.
