| Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a system of | | | | Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne |
| Enlightenment and a Hands on Healing art developed in | | | | NE2 3LB, United Kingdom |
| the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan. It is an art that | | | | Phone/Fax: +44 (0) 191 281 7442 |
| is passed from Master to student. The word Reiki | | | | Email: s.co.uk |
| comes from two Japanese words - Rei and Ki, | | | | Web site: |
| meaning Universal Life Force Energy. The term "Reiki" | | | | (613) 823-7113 |
| is used to describe both the energy and the Usui | | | | International Association of Reiki |
| system of using it. The original system by Usui was | | | | Lesni 14, 46001 Liberec 1 |
| called Usui Reiki Ryoho. | | | | Czech Republic |
| A Japanese Tendai Buddhist named Mikao Usui | | | | Phone/Fax (420) 48 424-629 |
| claimed to have discovered Reiki after long meditation, | | | | Email: net.cz |
| fasting, and prayer. Usui wrote that by mystical | | | | Web site: |
| revelation he had gained the knowledge and spiritual | | | | Mari Hall, Reiki Master |
| power to apply and attune others to what he called | | | | Usui-Do (Traditional Japanese Reiki) update |
| Reiki. Mikao Usui said that he had the ability to enable | | | | The Usui-Do Foundation |
| people to enhance their access to the energy through | | | | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
| certain initiations. Usui taught that his attunements to | | | | (403) 437-5481 |

| Some schools of Reiki are said to believe that Mikao | | | | New Zealand |
| Usui was pursuing knowledge of healing before he | | | | Email: .nz |
| developed his Reiki method and that he also studied | | | | Web site: |
| traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Qigong, and | | | | E.R.A. - European Reiki Association |
| Yoga. Usui, however, claimed that the awakening of | | | | Viale S. Antonio, 59 |
