Traditional Japanese Reiki

The term "Traditional Japanese Reiki", is normally used to describe the specific system that formed from Usui's original teachings and the teachings that did not leave Japan. During the 1990s, Western teachers travelled to Japan in order to find this particular tradition of Reiki, though found nothing. They therefore started to establish Reiki schools, and started to teach Reiki levels 1 and 2 to the Japanese. Around 1993, a German Reiki Master, Frank Arjava Petter, also started to teach to the Master/Teacher level, and as a result, the Japanese started teaching their knowledge of Traditional Reiki. Since then, several traditions of Traditional Japanese Reiki have been established, the main traditions of which are listed below.

• Usui Reiki Ryōhō Gakkai (臼井靈氣療法學會 in Traditional Chinese Characters, meaning "Usui Reiki Healing Method Learning Society") is the name of the society of Reiki masters founded by Mikao Usui. His style is assumed to have survived to the present day (assumed as no-one knows exactly how the Gakkai practises nowadays), with Ushida being the one who, upon death, substituted the presidency of the association. This society remained secret for many years and at present, the shihan (master), Masaki Kondoh, is the president of the Gakkai. Though many of their teachings still remain secret, little by little, members of this association — such as Master Hiroshi Doi — have been sharing their knowledge with the rest of the world. In spite of this, it continues to be a hermetic society, nearly impossible to access.

• Reidō Reiki Gakkai (靈道靈氣學會, meaning "Spiritual Occurrence [and] Spiritual Energy Society") is the name given to the system that derives from the masters of the Ryōhō Gakkai, and is led by Fuminori Aoki, who added to the teaching of the Gakkai, though differences in teaching are minimal. In this system, the Koriki (meaning "the force of happiness") symbol that inspired Fuminori Aoki has been adopted.

• Kōmyō Reiki Kai (光明レイキ會, meaning "Enlightened Spiritual Energy Meeting (Association)") is the name given to the system that takes the name of a school of Japanese Traditional Reiki, and was established by Hyakuten Inamoto (稲本　百天), a Buddhist Monk and Reiki Shihan (Master Teacher) with a Japanese Reiki background. It differs from other systems in that it does not originate with the Gakkai, but instead comes from the Hayashi line, through Chiyoko Yamaguchi (山口　千代子) that remained in Japan.

• Jikiden Reiki (直傳靈氣, meaning "The Direct Teaching [of] Spiritual Energy") is the name given to the original system that was taught by Dr. Hayashi, and was founded by Mrs. Yamaguchi and her son, Tadao Yamaguchi (山口 忠夫).

• Shinsei Reiki Kai® 神聖靈氣會 - Shinsei ReikiDo® 神聖靈氣道 Shinsei Reiki® is the sacred energy of the universe. The school has a Japanese perception and follows precisely the teachings of the Hayashi Reiki Kenkyu Kai school for USUI REIKI RYOHO. It is a Reiki Ryoho, without distortions, Westernization, and additions. It balances between the teachings of the schools that belong to the Japanese branch, without being bound by their policy. Shinsei Reiki Kai® teaches four levels of Reiki: SHODEN, OKUDEN ZEN-KI &KO-KI, SHINPIDEN, & SHIHAN. The method of teaching is the same as it was in 1930 without differentiations and contemporary additions. The energy felt by the practitioners is strong and the techniques are simple with immediate effect. Shinsei Reiki Kai® -Shinsei ReikiDo®, is an independent organization and has the ability of removing additional elements from the teachings. Every technique is examined for its origins and effectiveness. The way of teaching Shinsei Reiki®, is impregnated by the Japanese concept of the importance of simplicity. Shinsei Reiki Kai® is a school Founded and Established by Dimitris Xenakis, SHIHAN, Founder of REIKI RYOHO HELLAS®.

 

The Japanese Reiki hand positions presented in the Usui Reiki Ryōhō Hikkei (臼井靈氣療法必携, Usui Reiki Treatment Handbook) as used and compiled by Usui are considerably more extensive than the hand positions used in Western Reiki.

What Is Reiki? U.S.NEWS HEALTH

What Is Reiki?
It's not meditation, massage or prayer. But practitioners and clients say reiki heals in ways that are hard to explain.



Some believe that the energy reiki facilitates has the power to help keep clients healthy and heal.

By Anna Medaris MillerNov. 10, 2014 | 11:40 a.m. EST


Terri Reynolds, 56, knows the exchange well. She says, “Reiki.” They say, “Huh?” She says, “Energy healing.” They say, “Hocus-pocus.”


But for Reynolds, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011, reiki is anything but. The practice – which usually involves a practitioner placing his or her hands on or above a client to facilitate that person's healing energy – taught her how to quiet her mind after surgery and six months of chemotherapy.


"When you have a very stressful job and four children, and you get a diagnosis like that, it kind of really slaps you around,” says Reynolds, a certified medical assistant and managed care educator in Springfield, Illinois. “And when you’re grabbing everywhere for anything that makes the littlest bit of hope glisten, you’re apt to try anything.”


Reynolds is now cancer-free but continues to see a reiki practitioner weekly. “I’ll never stop,” she says.



According to the National Institutes of Health's National Center of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, reiki is a healing method based on an Eastern belief in an energy that supports the body’s natural ability to heal. There’s no evidence, the center says, that such an energy exists. Plenty of people disagree.


The word "reiki" is a Japanese term meaning "guided life force energy," which reiki practitioner and teacher Alice Langholt likens to water: Both are in and among us, she says, and take on different forms – some heavier and some lighter. Reiki can shift this energy into balance "so that our immune systems aren't fighting the sludge, but can keep us healthy and help us heal faster," says Langholt, author of “Practical Reiki: for balance, well-being and vibrant health.”


Health care settings including the Simmons Cancer Institute at Southern Illinois University's School of Medicine, where Reynolds was treated, are increasingly offering complementary treatments like reiki to help patients relax and “prime them for healing,” says Pamela Miles​, a reiki master in New York who has​ served as the lead reviewer for the National Center of Complementary and Alternative Medicine’spage on Reiki. It also may reduce anxiety, improve sleep and simply help people feel better so they make healthier decisions, Miles says. That was the case for Reynolds. "I've lost weight because of being able to calm my mind and my spirit and promote this harmony in my body," she says.​


Independent reiki practices exist, too, appealing to people seeking balance, clarity or relaxation. At Introspection: DC​, a reiki and crystal healing ​practice in the District of Columbia, owner and reiki practitioner Tara Olowoye​ says a lot of her clients are young working ​mothers “trying to make it all work.”


And you don’t even have to go to a practitioner to try reiki. Anyone can learn to practice it on themselves, experts say.


“This is something that potentially could benefit anyone – it’s really a matter of whether or not they’re interested,” says Miles, who wrote the book “Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide.” “In my experience, when people experience the benefit, they become interested. If you try to explain to them what it is [and] how it works, then you lose them.”

Science or Hype?


Reiki is one of several therapies based on the biofield, or a type of energy field that “regulates everything from our cellular function to our nervous system,” says Shamini Jain, ​assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California–San Diego.


While the biofield itself is generally accepted – it “consists of things that we can measure like electromagnetic energy that actually emanates from us,” Jain says – biofield therapies such as reiki and therapeutic touch are more controversial​ because they’re based on the idea of a “subtle” aspect of the biofield,​ which is harder to measure.


“It’s difficult for our Western science to wrap its mind around” because it’s not about popping pills, injecting needles or otherwise altering the body’s chemical composition, says Jain, a clinical psychologist who studies integrative medicine.​


Indeed, reiki has its fair share of critics, who point to research that discounts the effects of reiki and other similar alternative therapies as a placebo effect. One study ​this year in the journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine, for example, evaluated the effect of energy healing on colorectal cancer patients and found the therapy did not improve depressive symptoms, mood or sleep quality. Only study participants who already had a positive attitude toward complementary and alternative medicine practices showed a boost in mood.


Another 2008 study in the International Journal of Clinical Practice analyzed ​​205 previous studies on reiki and found mixed results for its efficacy. It also noted ​that many studies on the topic aren’t well-designed.


Others worry that the practice is unethical, fraudulent and deceptive. ​​​​​“One can easily see that deception – even if not intentional – is involved in representing that a particular therapy sold to the public is effective, when there is no evidence that this is true,” says Jann Bellamy​, a retired attorney in Tallahassee, Florida, who does pro bono work for organizations that educate consumers about science-based medicine​.

Reiki Practice and Asperger’s

Since starting Reiki practice in 1986, I have offered Reiki healing and training to many families addressing Asperger’s or other diagnoses on the autism spectrum with good results. Let’s get the word around how much Reiki practice can help these families. Here an Australian mother shares her story.




Reiki Healing for Myself

and My Son

by Sacha Sampson


ASD. High Functioning Autism. Asperger’s Syndrome. I was somewhat familiar with those words, but never imagined they would be part of my life or our son’s. For many years, I’d looked for an answer to our son’s quirkiness. Everyone said he was just a normal kid. Then the meltdowns became violent. He would scream for hours in a total rage while his younger siblings hid in the corner.


Waiting for an Asperger’s diagnosis


By the time he was nine, I was begging our family doctor for help. He referred us to a paediatrician who specialises in autism. We waited eight months for the appointment. The meltdowns hit epic proportions not long before we got to the specialist. Our son was pulling knives on me and threatening to do horrible things to himself. It took the paediatrician a mere 45 minutes to diagnose Asperger’s Syndrome (high functioning autism, ASD) and anxiety. After nine years, I was relieved and grateful to finally know what was going on.


My new Reiki practice


I took a First degree Reiki class and began practicing on myself. As mum to four kids aged 2-11, it’s sometimes a challenge, but I manage to get my hands on myself every day, and meditate as the day allows. I also started practicing Reiki on my son, giving him a full treatment every other day. In the beginning, he was apprehensive and fidgety, so I shortened the time he was lying down and chatted to him about what we were doing. After three or four modified treatments, he knew what to expect and calmed down as soon as I started his treatment.


How Reiki practice helped my son


In the year since, he has moved from strength to strength. Previously when he felt anxious, he would become violent, spray expletives at us, and lash out at his siblings. Now he works through anxiety attacks and meltdowns without becoming violent. In the past, when a situation became overwhelming, he would scream and become angry. Now he knows when to take time to clear his head. His overall demeanor has improved. He now shows compassion and understanding towards others. The biggest change has been his new ability to maintain a friendship. Children with autism typically are not interested in creating relationships, so in the past, he would play by himself in the school playground. Now, after 12 months of Reiki practice, he has a friend who is patient and understanding and a great support. He has asked on a number of occasions to learn First degree. I don’t know which one of us is more excited. As he says, “Reiki Rocks!”

Thank you Pamela Miles!

The I Practice Self Reiki Every Day Badge of Honor

When I learned to practice self Reiki in 1986, I had been a student of meditation and yoga for 25 years. I understood that, like meditation and yoga, Reiki is a spiritual practice. I knew if I wanted to be happy, to heal and to grow, I needed to practice self Reiki every day. So that’s what I did. And practicing self Reiki every day has made all the difference.


Do you practice self Reiki every day?


If you practice self Reiki every day, you too know the difference it has made in your health and well-being, in how you feel about yourself and your life, your sense of meaning, and the quality of your relationships. And when life got tough, you know how your daily practice sustained you. Knowing how profoundly your daily self Reiki has supported you, you want others to know Reiki practice can help them too.


Daily self Reiki, our primary value


The Reiki community is very diverse, yet practitioners from various lineages and practice styles practice their own version of self Reiki every day. Self practice is our primary value, a value which connects us beyond the diversity of our individual practice styles. Our daily Reiki self practice brings us home to ourselves, and unites us with all Reiki practitioners who value daily self practice. It’s time to share our primary value — the simplicity and effectiveness of daily Reiki self care — with the world.


Show the world you practice daily Reiki self treatment


Reiki is widely seen only as a treatment one gets from someone else. That’s too bad. We know Reiki is so much more than that; it is a simple, accessible practice for self care. How can we get that message to the public? I have an idea…


Post the I-Practice-Self-Reiki-Every-Day badge


It’s time people who practice daily self Reiki had a badge of honor — and now you do! I’ve made it very easy for you to tell your community you practice daily Reiki self treatment: a badge that can be freely and easily shared by everyone who shares the value of daily Reiki self practice. Telling people about your daily practice is a service to your community. If you are a home practitioner, it shares your Reiki enthusiasm with your friends so they can find out more if they want to. If you are a professional, it distinguishes you as a committed, serious Reiki practitioner, someone who walks the walk instead of just talking the talk. Knowing you value the practice enough to make it part of every day helps people who respect you to respect Reiki practice. Please publish this badge on your own site or Facebook page, or share it in an email. It’s easy — just copy and paste or drag and drop it where you want it. The badge links to a page that explains why your daily self Reiki is so important. Thank you for all you do to make thoughtful, credible approaches to Reiki practice visible to the mainstream public.


To show the world that you practice daily Reiki self treatment, drag and drop the badge or copy and paste the code into your blog post or web page!

Mild depression tied to diabetes complications

Mild depression tied to diabetes complications
BY BENJAMIN STIX

NEW YORK Tue Dec 3, 2013 10:45am EST
(Reuters Health) - Even mild bouts of depression may worsen the health complications that often go along with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

Canadian researchers followed more than 1,000 patients for five years and found those who experienced multiple episodes of low-level depression were nearly three times more likely than those without depression to have greater disability, such as reduced mobility, poor self care and worse quality of life.

"Minor depression is a form of chronic stress," said Dr. Norbert Schmitz, associate professor of psychiatry at McGill University's Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal, who led the study.

"Patients may not be able to follow treatment guidelines or they may have problems with diet, which in turn results in an increased risk of poor functioning," he said.

Diabetes can increase the risk of heart disease, nerve damage, kidney failure and blindness. The disease affects 25.8 million people in the U.S. and that number is expected to rise dramatically during the next 20 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity, but the elderly are also at high risk, with an estimated 27 percent of the over-65 population suffering from the disease.

Past research has found that nearly one-fifth of type-2 diabetics in the U.S. experience major depression, which is almost twice the rate seen in the general population. Some studies also link the combination of type 2 diabetes and depression with difficulty managing blood sugar levels and other health complications as well as increased risk of death.

Most research to date has focused on the role of major depression in poor health outcomes for diabetes patients, but Schmitz and his colleagues wanted to know if mild depression symptoms carried the same risks.

For their study, published in Diabetes Care, the researchers followed 1,064 adults, aged 18 to 80 years old, from the larger Montreal Diabetes and Well Being Study for five years.

The participants received a battery of surveys that assessed symptoms of depression, measures of disability, quality of life, diabetes-related health complications, social background, exercise and medical and psychiatric history, particularly related to treatment for depression.

The study team defined depression by a score based on symptoms experienced over a period of two weeks. While major depression would require at least five out of nine symptoms - such as appetite changes, fatigue and suicidal thinking - persisting over that time, mild depression would constitute fewer than five symptoms experienced at least once over the previous two weeks.

The researchers also looked at health-related quality of life, based on the individuals' own perceptions of how burdensome their health problems were, and translated into a number of "unhealthy days" the person reported over the past month.

They found that as the number of episodes of mild depression increased, the risk of impaired health and quality of life grew as well. For participants with one minor depression episode, the rate of poor functioning in daily activities such as work, domestic responsibilities and self-care was 50 percent higher compared to those who had no depression.

For patients with four or more bouts of mild depression, the risk of poor functioning was almost 300 percent greater and the risk of impaired health-related quality of life was nearly 250 percent greater than for those without depression.

Schmitz told Reuters Health the study points to the need for broadening patient care options.

"It is important not to separate treatment for depression from treatment for diabetes," he said. "Depression is associated with poor diabetes management. If management of diabetes is stressful, people may not follow guidelines. We need to look at the whole picture, what are the mental problems, physical problems, and try to find an integrated treatment approach to those with symptoms of depression."

"Research has shown that integrated treatment is more effective and better at focusing on the individual," Schmitz added. "But this approach is a recent development and integrated treatments are not widely available."

Dr. Roger McIntyre, a professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of Toronto who was not involved in the study, agreed diabetes patients should get early treatment with therapy for minor depression, while doctors also take a more holistic approach towards treating diabetes, including helping patients improve their quality of life and ability to care for themselves.

"This obviously requires an intensive resource-heavy approach," McIntyre said. "And the reality is that these resources are not available and patients need to be self managers and need to work in partnership with providers."

Usui’s Gakkai

In our conversation about Reiki practice and money, Reiki master and Buddhist monk Hyakuten Inamoto referred to the Gakkai, the organization started by Reiki practice founder Mikao Usui. We continue the conversation below. At the end, my Japanese colleague shares facts relevant to the story that Usui spent seven years living with beggars.
Pamela Miles: Please tell us more about the Gakkai.
Hyakuten Inamoto: The Gakkai had no Reiki classes or seminars, only Reiki gatherings. That’s why people paid a fee to become a member. Then as a member, they could attend a Reiki gathering without paying an additional fee.
The highlight of the Gakkai’s Reiki gathering is receiving reiju from the shihan (Reiki master) who was in charge of the gathering.
Reiju was part of every gathering. The gatherings were held weekly, especially in the head office in Tokyo.
When Usui sensei was alive, there were more than 60 local chapters, and that number declined after World War II.
Now there are only two local chapters, one in Kobe, a port city in western Japan, and a local chapter in Tokyo. Besides the local chapter, the head office of the Gakkai is also in Tokyo. I don’t know how often the local chapters hold gatherings now.
In a way, Reiki practice went underground in Japan. Many Gakkai members died during the war. The head office was in Tokyo, and there were air raids. The office was destroyed in the war and we don’t know if any archives survived.
So new Gakkai has no archives or papers. I tried to gather information again but found it very difficult. However, we haven’t lost everything.
The Gakkai now has only about 200 members, and it is a closed-door society. Reiki practitioners of other styles are not welcome in the Gakkai. Only people who are new to Reiki might be invited to join. Hiroshi Doi was allowed to join the Gakkai through introduction. Then the Gakkai became closed.

PM: On another note — can we set the history straight about Usui spending seven years offering Reiki treatment to beggars in the slums of Tokyo?


HI: No, we know for sure that did not happen. Usui had no time for that. He was on Kaurama in 1922 and passed away in 1926, very limited time. My personal feeling is that Usui sensed he didn’t have much time.

Reiki Healing and Money with Hyakuten Inamoto

While contemplating how to engage the community in a productive conversation about Reiki healing and money, I thought to discuss the subject with Hyakuten Inamoto, an internationally respected Reiki master who has been an ordained, unaffiliated Buddhist monk for more than 40 years.

Reiki and Money:

A Conversation with Hyakuten Inamoto

  Pamela Miles: Western Reiki practitioners often have discomfort and misunderstanding about money and spiritual practice. Please speak to us about the value of money.

  Hyakuten Inamoto: Money is beyond good or bad, it is neutral. The question is how we use it. It is okay to make a lot of money.

If we use money not only for our own interest, but for the good of people, for sharing, then money becomes good money.

If we use it only for our own interest, then money is not good. My personal view is that it’s ok for us to make money. We don’t have to feel guilty.

Reiki fees charged by Usui and Hayashi

  PM: As a Japanese native residing in Kyoto, you are able to do original research into the history of Reiki practice. Please tell us about the fee structure in Usui’s time and Hayashi’s time.

  HI: At the time of Usui-sensei and Hayashi sensei, it cost a lot of money to become a Reiki practitioner. Only wealthy people could afford to become First and Second degree practitioners.

The Gakkai is a membership association; in order to learn Reiki practice with the Gakkai, you need to become a member.

One member complained about this from the start, why do you charge so much money? Reiki is a gift from the heaven – why do you charge? So he left Gakkai after two years.

  PM: Why did Usui and Hayashi charge such fees?

  HI: I don’t know why Usui or Hayashi charged high fees. Hayashi charged 50 yen at that time. He taught a five-day workshop to minimum of 10 students. At that time, it was a lot of money.

I asked my teacher, Mrs. Yamaguchi, “What could you do with 500 yen?” She said you could buy a small house.

My understanding is that Mrs. Takata followed the traditional Japanese way of high fees and mostly oral teaching.

  PM: Where did you get that information?

  HI: I gathered that information from several Gakkai members, including Hiroshi Doi.

On Mount Kurama, in March 1922, Usui sensei attained enlightenment. He then returned to Tokyo, and in April, Usui opened the Gakkai.

Usui said, no one taught me this and I didn’t study to obtain this ability; I accidentally realized I was given this mystical ability to heal, not before Mt. Kurama, but after.

Then Usui started teaching and giving healing in his dojo. There was no set fee for receiving treatment.

Usui became well known for hands-on healing. He was not the only person who offered hand energy healing but he became very well known.

People in other areas invited him to come teach and he was on the road many times because he wanted to share this gift with as many people as possible.

In a way, perhaps he worked too hard, and passed away in Hiroshima area while traveling.

We don’t know how he charged but he always traveled to naval bases because the imperial navy of Japan was supporting Usui Reiki Ryoho.

Japanese culture and money

  PM: Please speak about the Japanese cultural perspective on money and spirituality.

  HI: I don’t know about Usui sensei’s viewpoint on money, but to Japanese people in general, there is something kind of negative around money. In Japan, you don’t talk about money face to face. It’s considered rude to talk directly about money.

Of course everyone knows there is money, but you don’t talk about it openly. There is a cultural reluctance to speak about money openly because Japanese culture sees money as kind of dirty. It might be a feeling something like money is the root of all evil.

Personally I don’t agree that money is root of all evil. Money is neutral, not good or bad. It all depends on how we use money, and on the situation.

  PM: Is it accurate to say that Japanese people do not have an expectation that spiritual training should be free?

  HI: I personally do not think that training should be free. Free is not good. If we get something for free, we don’t appreciate it very much.

It is not so much a question of the amount of money, but if we pay some money for something, it is a gesture of appreciation for what we receive.

My personal feeling is, no fee, no charge, no good. I don’t agree with that approach.

Basically, I charge a fee for treatment but it also depends on the situation. If a person has no money, is very poor, I offer my Reiki healing as my blessing, my donation, my contribution.

When it comes to classes, of course I charge a fee. I will not train someone to practice Reiki without a fee. Maybe a student cannot afford to pay in full; maybe he can afford only 10%. I might say okay.

To me, paying some fee is a gesture of appreciation. If you can afford the usual fee, it’s not the amount of money, it’s your appreciation. But never totally free, especially not for Reiki classes.

  PM: Am I correct in understanding that you draw a distinction between fees for treatment and for training?

  HI: Yes, I have a different feeling about the importance of charging for Reiki training than Reiki treatment.

Spiritual teachings are available in Japan both for free or for fee, but spiritual teachers in Japan tend to charge something. Both Usui and Hayashi would have known this.

  PM: And as we saw with Usui and his students offering Reiki treatment after the Tokyo earthquake, when there is a disaster or an emergency, there is not a fee for treatment.

  HI: Agreed.

  PM: What did you learn from Mrs. Yamaguchi, your Reiki master, about fees and money?

  HI: Mrs. Yamaguchi didn’t mention anything about money. When she said, “Okay, I’m going to teach you,” I asked how much should I pay. She said, “Never mind the money, I am happy to share Reiki practice with you.”

But I was not comfortable with that, so I offered a gift not in form of money, and she accepted. Then we were both comfortable.

Perhaps if not in the form of money, at least we can offer something as a gesture or token of appreciation and respect.

  PM: Mrs. Takata lived in the Hayashi compound, where the family home and the Reiki clinic were located. What is the significance of that? How unusual was this arrangement?

  HI: This was a very unusual arrangement, and a significant acknowledgment that Hayashi sensei considered Mrs. Takata to be a special student.

It means he found Mrs. Takata to be a very special person. That’s why he invited her to live with his family. That’s my understanding.
