Western style Reiki has returned to its country of birth. At one stage people believed that Reiki had died out in Japan, and that the only Reiki that remained in the world was the Western version. But Reiki Masters who moved to Japan in the 1990s discovered that there were Reiki practitioners there who were doing things that were very different from the Reiki that we had become used to in the West. It was also discovered that there was an association called the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (Usui's Reiki Healing System Association), which to begin with seemed to have been established by Usui. Now we know that this is not the case. The three Naval Officers set up the Gakkai as a sort of 'memorial' society. Tatsumi described it as an 'officer's club' and now it has almost the sort of place in Japanese society that Freemasons occupy in the West: most people have heard of the 'Gakkai, but they are not quite sure what they do. It's all a bit mysterious but you need to be a member if you are going to get on in business in politics As well as the 'Gakkai', there are other Reiki practitioners in Japan whose Reiki to varying degrees follow Usui's original form of Reiki. We are now able to receive iinformation from a few of Usui's original students - who are aged between 104 and 107 years of age!! |
