Welcome to the World of Shamballa Reiki
Reiki is a gift from God and myself, Germain. It is not only a system of healing, it is a way of accelerating your spiritual development. A lot more information has been added to the method as taught by Dr. Usui. This is why I call it the Shamballa Method. Once you have been attuned to the Reiki Ray, you stay attuned forever. You have all been attuned to the Reiki Ray in previous lives, and now you have come in order to have your memory triggered. By using the Shamballa Method on yourself and others, you will become En-Lightened. Most of the Atlantean system has been lost for thousands of years. I am now starting to incarnate it again.
The Earth is changing, and has made a decision to become whole. She will do this with, or without, you. YOU can help her with her healing and the healing of her inhabitants. This will make the transition a smooth one. Use the gift I have given you to bring Her and yourself into wholeness. There is no need for traumatic events on your planet if you just walk into the Light. This walking in the Light will bring you FREEDOM. Freedom from fear, freedom from dis-ease, and freedom from death. You can, if you choose to be, Immortal. Your body will turn
into Light. This is your birthright, so take your Freedom and become Whole.
I am forever in your service.

What is Reiki?
The art of laying on of hands is ancient. People have been doing it since the beginning of time. It is a natural instinct to put your hands on somebody who has been injured or is not well. Mothers are one example of this. When a child is hurt, mothers often put their hands on the injured spot. Human touch conveys healing care and love. This energy is known by many names. Chi in china. Prana in India. Ruach by the Hebrews and Reiki by the Japanese. Reiki is easily learned, very simple to use and is beneficial for all.
Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of healing through direct application of this energy. Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical universe being made of an underlying simpler form of something, much as modern physics research is coming to understand the Universe is made of energy, which is subject to, or affected by, thought. Just as modern physics says this energy is affected by thought, the mystics also say this underlying form is affected by thought. They go so far as to claim we create our own reality from our thinking and the thoughts we share between us every day.
This energy is the natural energy used by Reiki practitioners. The Reiki healer has access to this energy in a more powerful way because the attunements he or she receives clears the blockages from the body’s energy channels. The attunements also give an increase in the healer’s own life energies and connect the person to the source of Reiki. This source could be called anything the healer pleases, the Goddess energy, God, the first Source, etc. Reiki is not connected to any religion, so please call it what you like. I personally like to call this source “Mother/Father/God.”
The process of attunement is not a healing session. The attunement creates the healer after the first initiation which comprises of four attunements. This is known as Reiki I. The person has received a magical gift from the Source. After receiving Reiki I all you have to do is place your hands on yourself or someone else and the Reiki energy will flow.
When you start to practice you may experience things that you may not have seen or felt before. Some feel more than others. Some feel nothing, but nevertheless are still channeling the energy. Heat may be felt in the hands. It is like plugging into the outlets or mains. Every time you lay your hands on yourself or someone else, the energy is there. To practice Reiki, the practitioner places his or her hands upon the person to be healed with the intent for healing to occur, and then the energy begins to flow. Reiki energy is smart, since the Universe is a very smart place. The energy knows where to go, what to do once it gets there and is being directed by a higher intelligence. The energy manages its own flow to and within the healee. It draws through the healer exactly the amount which the healee needs. All this happens without direct conscious intervention by the healer. The healer’s job is to get out of the way, to keep the healing space open, and to watch/listen for signs of what to do next.
Reiki is capable of healing anything because it works at very fundamental levels of reality. Even though the capability is there, this is not always what happens. The limits seem to be in the healees willingness to cast off the old and accept the change and healing. In this context, the word healing has a different meaning from what is widely accepted. The widely accepted meaning seems to be curing of symptoms. The other meaning, used in the practice of Reiki, is the return to greater wholeness. There is an ideal form that each of us has, this ideal is the highest and clearest expression of who we are. Pain or dis-ease comes from any deviation between the persons current form and the ideal form. Healing in this context is to bring the healees form into closer alignment with the ideal form.
Deviations from our ideal form come from accepting limitations in our lives. Most of this comes from early childhood because that is where we are most open and inquisitive about life. A limitation may be a parent yelling “BE QUIET!” enough times that the child learns not to speak up. Another limitation may be a limp that continues longer after a physical injury has healed or it may be phantom pains. Limitations include behavior patterns, eating patterns, physical limitations, imagined physical limitations, psychological, mental or emotional ways of being, living expressing or loving that is not in alignment with our personal highest expression of self.
In any healing the goal is to find the limitation, recognize the pattern, recognize where it came from and let it go. Reiki facilitates this by providing the healee enough energy to step above (metaphorically) to see all that and have the courage to let it go. Our lives are a constant flow of patterns of activity. Sometimes it happens that people block the healing. This usually occurs when they don’t believe in it. You must always first seek their permission to heal. Permission will usually mean that they are open to it. But it could also be that they are feeling a little apprehensive, in which case loving perseverance will soon release the block. Remember, it is up to the healee to choose whether or not they become whole. It is each individuals choice to have these patterns remain stuck in limited expression or to release the old patterns and try new ones more in alignment with our personal highest self.
Reiki is not only for those who wish to become healing practitioners, it is also for people who want to become whole themselves. The Reiki attunements make it possible for you to heal yourself, both physically and spiritually. It is a very useful way to break habits and addictions or to heal yourself on a mental and emotional level. People who are suffering ill health and mental imbalances could have Reiki attunements to help them. Self healing is made easy by using the hand positions taught later in this course. These positions are used for healing others as well. After receiving your attunements it is a good idea to do a self healing session daily, and if possible, practice on others. This helps you to “settle” into the energy and become used to it. This takes about one month.
Using Reiki to heal one problem often leads to the healing of other problems. Pain is often felt in a completely different place in the body than the point of dis-ease. For instance, headaches are often caused by emotional stress. Healing the headache also heals the emotions. We should know as Reiki practitioners that most of the dis-ease we suffer in the physical has its source in the metaphysical (the emotional and mental) bodies. If we root out the cause, the effect simply goes away. As healers, we should encourage people to talk. By doing this, we can assist them to discover the source of their dis-ease. We may hear some terrible stories, but we should not react to them. We should transmute the energy of fear into love, by being an embodiment of love ourselves. This really means that we give loving support to them. By allowing the healee to go through their process, we allow them to find out what is wrong. This may even be from past lives. If a person starts to get emotional and you are not experienced in dealing with this, just ask the Reiki guides to help you. Stay calm and know that the Universe will look after you. Know that after the release, the healee will have grown a lot. Another thing to realize as a Reiki healer is that it is not always possible to heal people because the dis-ease they suffer from might be part of their Soul’s purpose in this life. If this is the case and death takes place, know that death is also a healing process. Death is usually a lot less traumatic than being born! Modern societies try to deny the fact that death happens everywhere. They think that if they deny it, it won’t happen. Death happens everywhere, everyday. You must realize that it is merely a transition. In this age, death can be avoided by the Ascension process. This is a process of becoming light, and being able to stay awake and conscious through dimensional change. (See suggested reading list – Ascension Sources.)
Reiki relaxes and rejuvenates. Some would say that Reiki cannot replace missing limbs, or right congenital birth defects. I say that this is limiting the system. If it is not the Soul’s choice to suffer this, in this life, I say that we can, with the aid of the Source, achieve anything. The seed blueprint for creation is wholeness, and wholeness is Love. Reiki is love, so don’t limit yourself. Do every healing with the result firmly in your mind. The result, of course, is wholeness in accordance with Divine Will, whatever form that might be. If you always look for results in accordance with Divine Will, you will find that you can facilitate the healing of anything, even those that are usually described as terminal.
Don’t worry that you may take on the dis-ease of others, because if you work with the Reiki guides and the Source, this will not happen. The more healing that you do, the more healed you, yourself, become. Stick to the principles of Reiki, and don’t interfere with the religion or beliefs of other, and step into service with love. Allow yourself to LET GO, and let the Reiki energy do the rest. You are a channel for the energy. Allow the magic into your life and become one with the Source. The more you let go, the more it will flow through you.
Age is no barrier with Reiki. Infants benefit from the attunement and it can start their life on a path of service. Senior members of society benefit from being able to heal themselves and others. Reiki is not only for those that want to heal others, it is for everybody. Being attuned to the Source brings wholeness.
Reiki is a gateway shining pure love into the Universe. It is this love which allows us to transcend our wounds and help us to remember our true nature.

DR CHUJIRO HAYASHI
It was at one of these lectures, in about 1925, that Dr Usui is said to have met 45 year old Dr Chujiro Hayashi, a retired Naval Commander. Dr Usui pointed out to Hayashi that he was too young to retire, and invited him to join him in his crusade. Dr Hayashi accompanied him on his tour of Japan for many years, continuing his system of healing after Dr Usui's death around 1930. It was Dr Hayashi who passed the story of Dr Usui on to Mrs. Takata, saying that he had not changed Dr Usui's original system; although it is claimed that it was Dr Hayashi who developed the system of standard hand positions, the three degrees and their attunement processes. He opened a very successful clinic in Tokyo, where Mrs. Takata became one of his patients. In about 1941 he predicted the approach of a great war, (World War II ) and realised that most of the men would be called up, including some of the 16 Reiki Masters that he had already created, so in order to preserve his development of Reiki, he passed his complete teachings on to two women, his wife Chie and Hawayo Takata, whom he named as his successor. As a Naval reserve officer, he had already been drafted, but as a healer he refused to take life. On May 10, 1941, in front of several of his students, he psychically stopped his own heart, and chose his own death.
Born in 1900 in Hanamaulu, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Otogoro Kawamura, were poor immigrants from Japan, working as pineapple cutters. They had great hopes for their daughter and her future, naming her Hawayo after the territory of Hawaii. But she was never physically strong, being too small for plantation work. Instead she took several part time jobs whilst still at school, and on leaving became a servant at the plantation owner's house. During the next twenty-four years she managed to work her way up to the position of housekeeper and bookkeeper. In 1917 she married the plantation accountant Saichi, whom she describes as a guiding light in her life, until his early death in October 1930, from a heart attack. The strain of trying to bring up two young daughters on her own took its toll upon her health. She developed asthma, nervous exhaustion, and gall-bladder disease. Following the death of her sister in 1935, she traveled to Tokyo to take the news to her parents, who had retired there. It was whilst she was there that she entered the Maeda Medical Hospital in Akasaka, where she was diagnosed with a tumor, gallstones and appendicitis. Her poor respiratory condition, of course, made the possibility of an operation very dangerous. However, she rested there for several weeks, and was eventually scheduled for surgery.
The night before her operation she heard a voice telling her that it would not be necessary. She again heard the same voice, whilst lying on the operating table, being prepared for the anaesthetic. On reporting this to the surgeon, and inquiring if there were any other treatment that she could take, he told her that his sister had attended Dr Hayashi's clinic, and had herself been trained there. The very next day she took Mrs. Takata to the clinic, where she remained for four months, receiving regular treatments from the teams of healers working there. Mrs. Takata asked to be trained in Reiki also, but was at first refused, because she was considered a foreigner, and it was not in Dr Hayashi's plans for the practice of Reiki to leave Japan. But Mrs. Takata persisted, and finally, with the intervention of the surgeon who had originally told her of Reiki, in Spring 1936 she received her first Reiki I attunement. She went on to take her Reiki II, remaining at the clinic and becoming part of the team of healers there, returning at last to her home in Hawaii in 1937.
In 1938 Dr Hayashi followed her to Hawaii, where he lectured with her, assisted in the setting up of her clinic, and gave her a Reiki III initiation. On February 22, 1938 her announced her as a Master, and in 1941 made her his successor. Despite his insistence that she did not give any training away without charge, she passed free attunements to her friends and relatives. But she found that instead of using this knowledge to heal others, they continued to bring all their patients to her, not having any faith in their own abilities. It was at about this time that her sisters asked her for free attunements also, and were most upset when she refused. She suggested that if they could not afford the fees, they could perhaps pay in installments, and this was agreed upon as a satisfactory compromise. Her sister was later reported by Mrs. Takata to have said that it was the cheapest investment that she made, better than buying a car! Mrs. Takata later noted that of all the twenty four people that she gave free attunements to, not one of them had went on to attain good health themselves, or were successful in business. Contrary to popular thought, Mrs. Takata was not rigid in her thinking, but grew and expanded upon her own personal experiences. However, she did acknowledge that an exchange of energy in some form was necessary for the healing to be effective. It seems that we value most that which we have made an effort to obtain. Mrs. Takata eventually traveled to the United States, and then on to Canada, spreading the knowledge of Reiki as she went. Where she found people who were seriously ill, she trained a member of their family to give them healing. She taught Reiki in many different ways, varying the hand positions and even the symbols that she taught, responding always to the needs of her students. During the last ten years of her life she trained twenty-two Reiki Masters, both men and women, until her eventual death on December 11, 1980. Since then Reiki has spread all around the world, to all continents, with an estimated 5,000 Masters (1,000 of whom are said to be in Australia)

The Reiki Story
This is the story of Dr. Mikao Usui, originator of the Usui Reiki System of Natural Healing. The only history we have was put on tape by a Mrs. Takata, a Reiki Master trained by a Dr. Havashi who was taught by and worked with Dr. Usui. Dr. Usui was apparently a genius, a great philosopher and scholar. He was a Christian minister and the principal of the Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan.
The Challenge
As he took the podium one Sunday in the late 1800’s, Dr. Usui noticed a half dozen students in the front pew. Usually students sat at the back. One of the students immediately raised a hand. He stated that the six were to graduate in two months, but before leaving they wanted to settle an issue. First they wanted to know if Dr. Usui had absolute faith in the Bible as it reads. “Yes.” Then did he believe that Jesus could heal by laying on hands? Again, Dr. Usui said he did believe. The student said that he and the others also wanted to believe and would Dr. Usui please give them one demonstration. Would he please heal the blind or cure the lame or just simply walk on water? Dr. Usui said that although he believed these things had been done, he himself had not learned to do them.
The spokesman said, “Thank you very much. We can only say that your belief in the Bible is a blind faith, and we do not want to have a blind faith.” Dr. Usui’s response was that he could not demonstrate at that time but would someday like to prove it. He said he would find how to do it, then come back to show them. With that he resigned, on the spot. The next day he made plans to study the Bible in a Christian country.
The Search
Dr. Usui chose America. He entered a university, possibly University of Chicago, but no one is certain. He found that the Bible teachings were not significantly different from what he had studied in Japan. No one he met there knew how Jesus healed. However, while at the university, he studied other philosophies, and he found in Buddhism a passage saying Buddha healed by laying-on-of-hands. So, for the remainder of his seven years in the United States, he concentrated on Buddhism, hoping to find a formula for the healing arts. He didn’t. He left there to study in a Buddhist country – Japan. He returned to his own city of Kyoto. Kyoto had the most people and the biggest monasteries in Japan. He decided to visit all the monasteries starting with the largest, the Shin.
At the Shin, Usui asked a monk if the Buddhist Sutras gave accounts of Buddha healing. “Yes.” He asked if the Shin monks had mastered the art of healing the body. He was told, “We monks do not have time for the physical in reaching the spiritual growth. Spiritual healing is first.” Usui walked away into the jungle to visit other temples. Their stories were the same. None of the monastery monks could heal. His last stop was at the Zen temple. Here he heard again that the monks were very, very busy and had little time for the body healing – but they were sure that someday, during meditation, they would receive that great light and then they would know how to heal. Dr. Usui decided to stay on and study all their secrets. He spent the next three years studying the Sutras but without success. He then got permission to stay on at the Zen temple to do independent research.
Dr. Usui learned Chinese, because the Japanese Sutras were translated from Chinese. He then mastered Sanskrit, because Buddha was a Hindu. While working on Sanskrit he found a healing formula. There was no mistaking what it was, but the 2,500 year old formula had to be interpreted and tested. He told himself, “I cannot guarantee myself whether I will live through it, but if I don’t try the test, years of study will be wasted.” He talked about his plan with the head Zen monk. The monk said Usui was a courageous man, and he could perform the test at the monastery. Usui said he would rather do it on Mount Koriyama, a mountain known as an excellent place for meditation.
The Meditation
Dr. Usui told the monk, “I will test myself for twenty-one days. If I do not come back on the night of the twenty-first day, on the twenty-second morning, send out a search party to find my body, I will be dead.” Before departing he told the monks, “I shall go through this meditation without food – only water.” He climbed the mountain.
On the mountain he found an old pine near the stream. He piled up twenty-one rocks and watered them. (I don’t know why.) He sat with his back to the tree with the rocks before him. He threw one rock away, then began his first meditation. He expected a phenomenon of some sort but had no idea what it might be or when. He read scripture, chanted, meditated, and drank water. He had no food with him. Days and nights came and went. The pile of stones dwindled. There was no phenomenon. Nothing.
On the twenty-first day, he woke before dawn and threw away the last stone. The morning black was near absolute – no moon, no stars. Dr. Usui meditated, knowing it was the last time. He opened his eyes expecting to see nothing, but there, on the horizon, he glimpsed a flicker of light, like a candle! He instinctively knew this was the phenomenon he had hoped for – and feared. Dr. Usui braced himself, “It is happening and I am not going to even shut my eyes. I shall open them as wide as I can and witness what happens to the light.”
The light moved toward him. It seemed to be accelerating as it approached. Usui became frightened, his courage faltered. “Oh, the light! Now I have a chance to avoid the light, to dodge! What shall I do!? If the light strikes me, I might burn!” But he began to brace himself. “This is best. I am not going to run away! I’m going to face it! Come! If this must be, hit me!! I am ready!” And with that, he relaxed and, with eyes wide open, he saw the light strike in the center of his forehead. “I made contact,” he said as he fell backward from the force. When he came to, he thought that he had died because at first he couldn’t see and he felt nothing. The light was gone. He heard roosters in the distance and knew it would soon be dawn.
Dr. Usui sat, dazed. Then, off to his right, colored bubbles seemed to rise from the earth. Millions and millions of bubbles in rainbow colors danced before him, then moved to his left. Usui counted seven colors. “This is phenomena! I was blessed today!” A great white light came from his right. Golden symbols appeared, one after another. They radiated out in front of him, like on a movie screen, as if to say, “Remember! Remember!” He didn’t read them so much with his eyes as with his mind. He studied and studied, then said, “Yes!” He recalled all he had learned in Sanskrit as the symbols moved in front of him as if they were saying, “This is it, this is it. Remember, remember.”
After the phenomena had passed, he said, “I must close my eyes, and for the last meditation, please give me a vision.” He closed his eyes and saw the golden symbols in front of him.
The Miracles
It was over. “Now, I can open my eyes.” As he regained awareness of his body, he was surprised to find no pain or hunger. “I feel my body is good. I’m going to stand up.” He stood. “My legs and feet are strong. I fast for twenty-one days, and still I feel I can walk back to Kyoto.” His body felt well fed, “Well, this is a miracle – I’m not hungry. And I feel very light.” He dusted himself off, picked up his cane and straw hat, then took the first steps of his twenty-five mile trek to Kyoto. The Zen monks were expecting him by sundown.
Near the foot of the mountain, Dr. Usui stubbed a big toe on a rock. The blow lifted the toenail. Blood spurted out. It hurt. The pain thumped with his heartbeat. He sat down and held the toe in his hands. The pain subsided. The bleeding stopped. “Is it okay?” He continued to hold it till there was no more pain. When he looked at the toe, he was amazed and delighted to see the nail back in its normal position. There was no indication of injury except dried blood. “This is a second miracle!”
A short distance later, he came upon a traditional mat and ashtray, which means in Japan there is an eating place near by and that all are welcome. He approached an old, unshaven man who was starting a fire in a hibachi, “Good morning old man.” “Good morning, my dear monk, you are early.” “Yes, I know, but may I have some leftover rice and some tea, and that piece of nori you just made? And I would like to have some salted cabbage and also some dried fish, if you have some.” (This is a typical Japanese breakfast.) But the old gentleman was wise. He had served many monks after their extended meditations on this famous mountain. He knew the appearance of a seven day beard. He knew this monk had been without food for a much longer time. “I cannot let you have this rice and hot soup and all those other things because you are going to have a huge indigestion. I have no medicine and cannot help you. Kyoto is far away. You will have to wait until I make a soft gruel.”
“Thank you. You are very kind, but I think I shall try it.” Dr. Usui was feeling weak as he moved to a table to wait for the food. The old man thought, “Well, if he wants to do it this way, fine. I am not responsible.” Soon, the man’s fifteen year old granddaughter brought a tray with lots of food. She was crying and had a towel wrapped under her chin, tied in rabbit ears on top of her head. “My dear young girl, why do you cry?”
The child sobbed, “Oh, my dear monk, three days and three nights I have a toothache so bad that I cannot stop my tears, and I cannot eat the whole time. The dentist is too far away, so I just suffer and cry.” Dr. Usui’s heart opened to the child. He stood and put a hand on her swollen cheek. The girl began to blink her eyes. Dr. Usui soon had both hands on her face. She suddenly cried out, “My dear monk, you have just made magic! The toothache is gone!” Usui could hardly believe it. He hadn’t really known what to expect from his impulsive action. “Is it really? Are you telling me the truth?” It was true. She quickly removed the rabbit ears and was radiantly happy. Usui said, “Yes, now I believe you are well.”
The beaming child thanked him, then she ran off to her grandfather. “Look, grandfather, I took off my rabbit ears! The toothache is gone! He is not an ordinary monk, he makes magic!”
The grandfather, wiping his hands on his apron, walked over to Dr. Usui, “My dear monk, you did us a great service. We are grateful. We do not have money, but for our gratitude, there is no charge for the food. This is all we can offer.” Dr. Usui said, “Thank you! I will accept your gratitude. Thank you, very much. Now for my food.” With that he turned to his food and eagerly shoveled it with chopsticks. He ate happily. The people watched and hoped this magic monk wouldn’t suffer any kind of indigestion.
Later, Dr. Usui reflected on these miracles, the third and fourth. Placing his hands on the child had again healed almost instantly, and he had suffered no ill effects from breaking a twenty-one day fast with a huge meal. “Now, I am ready for my hike to the Zen temple. I shall be there by sundown according to schedule.” And so he was.
The doctor was met at the temple gate by a young page boy. Dr. Usui asked, “How is our dear monk?” “Oh, he’s suffering from arthritis and back ache. He is in bed near the chapel stove.” Before going to visit the monk, Usui went to his own room to bathe and put on clean clothes. He was then taken to the monk. “My dear monk, I am back. My meditation was a success.” The ailing monk was excited by this news and wanted the details. Dr. Usui said, “Yes, of course, and while I talk, may I place my hands on your silk covers?” It was late at night when the doctor shared the last happy detail. He was about to leave when the old monk spoke up, “And by the way, my pain is all gone. I can sleep now. I don’t need the stove, and my body feels wonderful – you say this is called Reiki?” (In English, Reiki means Universal Life Energy.)
The Reiki Experiment
Dr. Usui slept in a bed for the first time in three weeks. Next morning, after breakfast, Dr. Usui presented a question to all the temple monks. “What shall I do to experiment with this Reiki?” After much discussion it was decided that the best way to experiment was to go into one of the very big slums of Kyoto. The slums were playgrounds for most every kind of injury and disease including leprosy. They chose the largest slum.
Dr. Usui walked into the slum as a monk vegetable peddler – dressed as a monk with two baskets of vegetables hanging from a pole. The beggars assembled quickly. Usui told them, “Please I would be one of you. I would like to live here.” In turn, he was told, “If you want to stay here, we have a chief. We shall call him.” Shortly the chief beggar made his appearance. “I understand that you want to live here and become one of us.” Usui answered yes. “In that case, give us vegetables. And there is no need to wear new clothes here. We will give you initiation clothes.” They undressed Dr. Usui and found his money belt. The chief beggar said he had known the belt was there and that it would also have to be forfeited. Dr. Usui was then allowed to dress in his beggar initiation costume – dirty, smelly rags.
The chief asked what Dr. Usui was going to do in the slum. “I would like you to provide me with food and a cottage by myself. Then you can send me your sick and I will heal them.” The chief found that to be a very good trade. “We have all kinds of diseases, even tuberculosis and leprosy. You are not afraid to touch them?” The doctor said as a healer he was not afraid of disease and promised to work sunup to sundown, so he would want meals delivered to the cottage. Agreed!
The next day many appeared at his door. Based on his own theory, the doctor categorized the sick. He believed disease was an effect resulting from some inner cause. He felt that in the younger patients the cause should be shallow and more easily treated. And this is the way it worked out. The older slum dwellers required more Reiki treatments and recovery sometimes took months. The young healed quickly. Usui sent healed patients to the Zen temple where they received a new name and a job in the city. He told them to become honest citizens, to forget the slums.
One evening, after seven long, hard years of Reiki healing, he was out walking through the slums when he spied a vaguely familiar face. “Who are you?” “Oh, you should remember. I was one of the first healed. The temple monks gave me a new name and found me a job. But now I am back. Begging is easier than hustling by myself.” This was the greatest shock of the doctor’s life. He threw himself to the ground and cried, cried like a heart broken child.
Most of his former patients returned to the slums. Dr. Usui now realized that after all the years of searching for a healing formula and these years in the slums, he had become preoccupied with the physical side of life; he had forgotten the spiritual. “Oh, what did I do? I did not save a soul. So the physical is number two and the spiritual is number one. All the churches were right. I was wrong. No beggars, no more beggars, no more beggars. It is my fault that they come back, I did not teach them gratitude. They are here because they are greedy, greedy people. Want, want, want – nothing in return. If I had taught them the spiritual side first, then healed the body, it would have been effective. No more beggars. No more healing.” Dr. Usui turned his back on the slums and walked away.
The Crusade
The doctor then launched a crusade to help unhappy, depressed people. He wanted to brighten their hearts and cleanse their characters, minds and bodies. He traveled on foot to every temple in Japan. At each he invited locals to attend his lectures. (I assume he worked on the spiritual side then healed the physical.) After one of his lectures, he met Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, a forty-five year old retired military man. Hayashi stayed with Dr. Usui until Usui’s death. Before his transition, Usui announced that Dr. Hayashi was to continue this Usui System in the Art of Healing.
Dr. Hayashi later trained Mrs. Takata. Between 1945 and 1970, she was the only living Reiki Master in the world. Between 1970 and 1980, she trained twenty-one Reiki Masters. She was about eighty when she made her transition. Both Dr. Hayashi and Mrs. Takata practiced and taught Reiki just as it had been passed on by the dear monk, Dr. Mikao Usui.

The Two Precepts
1. The Person Must Ask – Or you must work on the I AM level and ask Permission
We must ask to be healed, and in asking, open ourselves up at the throat level. We vocalize and hear ourselves say, “I want to change where I am. I want to alter my state of existence.” In asking, the person is putting forth a conscious decision to become involved. The request may also be made on a soul level. It is from the soul level that the person asks for healing. As a Reiki healer, you are a viaduct, a channel through which the Reiki energy flows. It is essential to listen and render service to a request of the soul.
2. There Must Be An Exchange of Energy For The Services
The healing energy belongs to the Universe and to God. However, there needs to be a creative exchange from the recipient to the person whose time and services are being rendered for the healing. Giving something for nothing causes an imbalance by the unpaid obligation. An energy exchange maintains the balance. Energy exchange can be anything from the stored concept of energy that we call money to any exchange of services between the healee and the Reiki healer. Reiki healers offering services on a professional level do establish a fee. This fee sets a value on the service, which is considered a concrete reality in the thinking of humankind. Wellness. likewise, has a value and ultimately reflects the feeling of worthiness and self-love of the person seeking to change their state of health.
