This is your healing space, your time. You may notice sensations of warmth or tingling. You may also feel more peaceful, centered and calm.

"Last September I found a lump under my arm while having a shower, and within 10 days had a diagnosis of early breast cancer that had also affected a couple of lymph nodes under my arm...."

 Reiki has been scientifically proven to elicit a positive biological response in those   receiving treatment.

 As each person is unique, the possibilities of how Reiki can benefit your personal  healing process are enormous.

The system of Reiki was developed in the 1900’s by a Japanese man named Usui Mikao.

In May 2018 I became ill while holidaying in Hawaii. I couldn’t seem to shake it on my return to Oz and then in August I collapsed, fell unconscious and was taken to hospital via ambulance.

This is a translation of Usui Mikao's memorial stone by Japanese Reiki Teacher and Buddhist monk Hyakuten Inamoto. The memorial stone was erected by the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Japan one year after Usui Mikao's death.

Including meditation as an integral part of your day is not as difficult as you some­times imagine. Developing a practice requires discipline and intent.

A Reiki treatment is different for everyone, and each time you have a treatment the experience is different, so it’s a difficult thing to describe.

I came to Reiki after I’d developed a meditation practice, but you don’t need any special knowledge or experience. Vicki was my meditation teacher, and offered me a half-hour treatment, to try it out, and I found it strange, but deeply relaxing, and it seemed a logical extension of meditation.

Hawayo Takata was one of the 13 students of Hayashi Chujiro. She was a first generation American to Japanese immigrant parents who lived in Hawaii. She married in 1930 and had two daughters before her husband tragically died in 1935.

Hayashi Chujiro a retired naval officer and surgeon was born in 1880. He was a Soto Zen practitioner , who included Shinto in his practice.

Hayashi began his studies with Usui Mikao in May 1925, only 10 months before Usui died. He continued with the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai until 1931.

‘Usui Sensei’s natural character was gentle and prudent, and he did not keep up appearances. His body was big and sturdy, and his face was always beaming with a smile. But when he faced the difficulties he went ahead with a definite will and yet persevered well, keeping extremely careful.’ ‘As his reputation got higher and higher, it was so often when he received an offer of engagement from everywhere throughout the nation. In accordance with these requests he travelled to Kure and Hiroshima, then entered Saga and reached Fukuyama. It was at the inn at which he stayed on his way that he caught a disease abruptly, and he passed away at the age of sixty two.’
