Rod Talks: Usui Reiki Origins Episode Summary In this episode of Healing Connections, we explore the origins of Usui Reiki, founded by Mikao Usui in early 20th-century Japan. Usui, a lifelong seeker of spiritual knowledge, developed Reiki after a profound spiritual experience during a retreat on Mount Kurama. This encounter led him to create a system of healing based on channeling universal life energy, along with the Five Reiki Principles: Do not anger Do not worry Be grateful Work diligently Be kind Usui's teachings were passed on to Chujiro Hayashi, who further structured the practice, and then to Hawayo Takata, who brought Reiki to the West in the 1930s. Usui Reiki has since become a global practice, maintaining its focus on balance, compassion, and universal energy. Through Reiki, Usui's vision of healing lives on, offering a pathway to wellness for the body, mind, and spirit.

In the second half of the twentieth century, Reiki went from an obscure therapy practiced by a few thousand Japanese and Japanese Americans to a global phenomenon. By the early twenty-first century, people in nearly every corner of the world have undergone the initiations that authorize them to channel a cosmic energy—known as Reiki—to heal body, mind, and spirit. They lay hands on themselves and others, use secret symbols and incantations to send Reiki to distant recipients, and strive to follow five precepts to cultivate their spiritual growth. Reiki's international rise and development is due to the work of Hawayo Takata (1900–1980), a Hawai‘i-born Japanese American woman who brought Reiki out of Japan and adapted it for thousands of students in Hawai‘i and North America, shaping interconnections across the North Pacific region as well as cultural transformations over the transwar period spanning World War II. Alternate Currents: Reiki's Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific (U Hawaii Press, 2023) analyzes how, from her training in Japan in the mid-1930s to her death in Iowa in 1980, Takata built a vast trans-Pacific network that connected Japanese American laborers on Hawai‘i plantations to social elites in Tokyo, Hollywood, and New York; middle-class housewives in American suburbs; and off-the-grid tree planters in the mountains of British Columbia. Using recently uncovered archival materials and original oral histories, this book examines how these relationships between healer and patient, master and disciple, became deeply infused with values of their time and place and how they interplayed with Reiki's circulation, performance, and meanings along with broader cultural shifts in the twentieth-century North Pacific. Highly readable and informative, each chapter is structured around a period in the life of Takata, the charismatic, rags-to-riches architect of the network in which Reiki spread for decades.  Alternate Currents explores Reiki as an exemplary transnational spiritual therapy, demonstrating how lived practices transcend artificial distinctions between religion and medicine, and circulate in global systems while maintaining strong connections with the practices' homeland.

Welcome to another podcast episode of Merkaba Chakras. Today we learn about Reiki Energy Healing as a modality for wellness and to connect to the source. Hands-on energy healing is an ancient healing modality going as far back as when Yeshuah Ben Yosef was taught how to do it by his teachers in his childhood Buddhist monastery. It was rediscovered in the 20th century by a Japanese Buddhist monk, Dr. Mikao Usui who taught it worldwide. Today, I bring you a former CIA Analyst, Jessica Brodkin who made a career change into being a very successful Reiki Energy Healing Practitioner. Jessica, welcome to Merkaba Chakras! Questions: 1. Before we discuss your work. Can you tell us your story for how you got into this work? 2. Reiki is popular in Asia. It was practiced in private by small sects of Buddhist monks for over 2500 years. In 1914, Mataji Kawakami published a book on Reiki and in 1922, Buddhist monk, Dr. Mikao Usui rediscovered the version of Reiki taught to Yeshuah Ben Yosef 2000 years ago after his moment of awakening at Mt. Kamura. Since then, it has been taught in the west through Reiki masters, Mr. Chujiro Hayashi and Mrs. Hawayo Takata. All of them profess to experience a connection to the source while applying Reiki on people. Do you also experience a connection to the source when doing Reiki? Please describe what happens to you? 3. What form of Reiki do you do? Where can people learn this technique? 4. Science is still studying the effects of Reiki on clients, and the results are profound for some practitioners as compared to other practitioners. Why are some Reiki Healers more successful than others? In your experience, is it the practitioner, the client, or source that does the healing? 5. Can you explain your process for doing distance Reiki healing? 6. What is your process for Energy healing, crystal healing, and chakra balancing? Examples? 7. Are your client's imbalances related to dense issues from past lives or past memories held in their auric energy field? Examples? 8. Can you tell us more about your meditation workshop and online courses? 9. For people who offer Reiki or any other forms of energy healing in their naturopathic or alternative wellness practice, what are your recommendations for how to start their business? 10. What common themes do you get from angelic guidance about people to help them raise their level of consciousness and energy?

In this episode of Spiritual Story Telling, my guest is psychic, author, Reiki master and owner of Fast, Easy Vegan, Jocelyn Graef.

Jocelyn taught psychic development classes for about 20 years and is very generous during this interview providing us with some effective, yet simple psychic protection and grounding tips. She was also very fortunate to have had some very powerful teachers in her life such as Beth Gray and Hawayo Takata teach her to develop her powerful abilities. I hope you gain as much as I did from listening to this interview. If you would like to get a reading with Li Chen, you can organise an appointment by visiting Jocelyn's website at: http://www.jocelyngraef.com/home.html You can also purchase a copy of her book, Great Awakening via her website.

So after finally being brought to my knees and accepting that this stuff was real and it was never going to go away, I knew I needed answers and guidance, and on my journey to get this guidance and answers, I was lucky enough to meet some of the most beautiful hearted teachers and mentors who literally saved me from going crazy. I hope that the questions I ask, and the stories you hear, help you on your unique and beautiful path.

Robert first started practicing Reiki in 1996 at the age of twenty one. He developed an interest in learning more about the system of Reiki and quickly realized that few people were teaching Reiki as practiced and taught by Hawayo Takata (Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho). He was drawn to Takata's teachings by inner guidance and by the fact that her teachings were clear, simple, and effective. Robert has studied with some of Takata's Master students and several other teachers who still practice Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho. Robert founded The Reiki Preservation Society (www.TheReikiPreservationSociety.org) to preserve Hawayo Takata’s teachings for future generations to learn. Robert is a member of and archive team member for the Reiki Alliance (www.ReikiAlliance.com). In addition, Robert is a Licensed Acupuncturist by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and is Nationally Certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (http://www.nccaom.org). Robert is currently wrapping up his book on the system of Reiki and its history.
