About Reiki : The Ancient Art of Healing

The origin of Reiki can be traced long back in the annals of history. But in the late 1800 that Dr. Mikao Usui, revived one of these oldest sciences of healing. In order to give logical base to the science of healing he travelled to the far-corners of world from India to USA. However, after studying Buddhist literature in Sanskrit he was finally able to explain the holy methods used by Christ in order to heal the people.

Later he returned to Japan and visited various Buddhist sects and gained knowledge about healing the body and mind at the same time. It was in the Zen Monastery in Kyoto where he stayed for a long time and studied Indian Buddhist Sutras written in Sanskrit. It helped him explain various unexplained sutras of healing.

Reiki, over the years has proved its utility in healing complications related to mind and body. It has a long history of healing people suffering from various types of illness and disorders which was difficult to cure in modern sciences.

It is very interesting to know that the traditional healing art from Japan comfortably and readily got recognition and worldwide acceptance around the world.
