Читать книгу Reiki For Dummies - Nina L. Paul - Страница 22

When Mikao Usui developed his system for spiritual healing, he called it Usui Reiki Ryoho, which means the Usui method for spiritual healing. As this system was passed on and taught in the West, the name of the system was called simply Reiki. Reiki has evolved into different branches, with variations on Usui’s original system.

Chapter 3 covers the background of Reiki in Japan and the evolution into Western forms. It also describes different Reiki branches (Western and Japanese) and the concept of lineage in Reiki. When you study Reiki, you can trace your lineage back to Mikao Usui through the listing of teachers.

The common element of all schools or branches of Reiki is the ability to connect with universal life-force energy to share with others and for personal growth.
