Reiki

Is a Japanese concept translated as "Universal Life Energy" by Hawayo Takata.

The phrase was used by Mikao Usui to describe an energy that he had contacted through years of self-preparation and dedication. The following description of Reiki is taken from Hawayo Takata’s journal when she was a beginning student of Chujiro Hayashi, circa 1935.

"The power (Reiki) is unfathomable, immeasurable, and being a universal life force, it is incomprehensible to man."

Usui Shiki Ryoho

Is a system of teaching and practice that allows the student unlimited access to the energy of Reiki and provides a practice form that supports physical well-being and encourages the student’s development on all levels of consciousness.
This particular practice honors the spiritual lineage of Mikao Usui, Chujiro Hayashi, Hawayo Takata, and Phyllis Lei Furumoto.

Reiki Foundation International

Is a non profit public benefit corporation representing the system of Usui Shiki Ryoho. Reiki Foundation International (RFI) is seeking the support of the global Reiki community to establish a Reiki Home that will ensure the continuing practice and teaching of Reiki in all forms for our future generations. The envisioned Reiki Home will house archives of Usui Shiki Ryoho, establish long term teaching programs, and form a base from which deeper explorations into the practice of Reiki can be maintained.

The Reiki Home Prospectus

This website presents the Prospectus for the Reiki Home project. Today we stand with a positive vision for the scope of the project and a clear message to move forward with what we know. Reiki will lead us into the unknown as the next steps unfold. As the roots of our practice find the soil of the earth and branch out, we will see this development flourish and blossom.

We invite you to explore the Prospectus and become a part of this inspiring vision.

Please let us know how we can serve you.

The Prospectus is available in Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, and Italian.
We wish to thank and acknowledge the tremendous job of the translators.
