| What is true is that Mikao Usui rediscovered the Reiki Healing System |
Dr. Usui was neither a teacher nor
a principal of any Christian school in Japan (current research corroborates
this), Usui was simply a merchant, a businessman. You will most likely find
some ancient manuscripts with the Reiki Healing System.
It was Furumoto and her husband who
introduced Reiki in Europe and America with the Legend of Reiki (they simply
invented it).
He thinks the Americans had thrown
two atomic bombs at the Japanese during World War II. Introducing "something"
Japanese in America and Europe was not an easy task, so Furumoto and husband
invented the Legend of Reiki. It is easier to speak of Christ, of Christian
Schools where Mikao Usui was Director and teacher of Religion, so that people would
more easily accept the Reiki Healing System.
Usui also did not carry Reiki
therapies on the street to poor and beggars. Reiki Alliance invented that part
of the Legend to put the exorbitant prices they charged. Reiki Alliance created
what is called "Energy Exchange", meaning that "if I give you,
you give me". Reiki Alliance says that you have to value Reiki very much
so that it works, so in principle they had a worldwide price poster like the
following: First Reiki Level: 150 Euros, Second Reiki Level: 300 Euros,
Master's Degree Reiki: 6,000 Euros.
In addition most of the first
Masters of Reiki Alliance of America and Europe were not spiritually elevated
persons but businessmen and women, accustomed to the pyramidal business. My
Grand Master, the first in a certain European country, was working in the fur
and liquor business on an international level and of course was as
"spiritual" as you can imagine.
My First and Second Reiki
Master only knew how to do the "Initiations", "hand
positions" and "Reiki Healing at Classical Distance". The Reiki
course was limited to Initiations and to practice "Full Body Therapy"
on the First Level and to send "Distance Healing" on the Second
Level. In the course of the Second Level they also gave you a photographed
paper with the "three Reiki Symbols" of that level.

Of course, the courses were in
groups of up to 20 people. The payment of each course could be made 2 times,
but the one who did not pay cash did not receive either the Diploma or the
corresponding embrace of the alleged Reiki Master at the end of the course.
For Masters courses, the Reiki
Masters could accompany you to the Bank so that they can be financed and
convinced you that only when you start another person to the Masters and you
would recover the 6,000 Euros, then it would be all business. The banks
watching the round business financed the course.
What is true is that Mikao Usui
rediscovered the Reiki Healing System and created a Reiki Clinic in Japan. Dr.
Usui's Reiki Clinic was administered by one of the Masters initiated by him:
His great friend, a soldier named Hayashi. Hayashi initiates to Takata and
Takata initiates to its granddaughter Furumoto. Furumoto and husband create
what is called "Reiki International Alliance" and such an alliance
introduces Reiki in America and Europe.
Some Masters like me become
Independent Reiki Masters because they believe that the personal and spiritual
development of humans must be within the reach of all people and not just for
the rich.
In Sweden the prices we had were
120 Euros for the First Level of Reiki, 200 Euros for the Second Level, 500
Euros for the Third Level and 750 for the Master's Degree. Keep in mind that
they were the 90's and they were important sums of money but a great price
difference with those who had Reiki Alliance). In addition, we allowed our
students to pay the courses in several installments / payments, because we were
aware of the great sacrifice that the payment of courses for the vast majority
meant, but still it was a lot of money for many.
In spite of our efforts to help the
less fortunate, we were told in the papers that we could not be serious when we
charged "so little" for Reiki courses.
