Reiki is rooted in christ
Many don't know that Reiki is actually a spiritual healing modality rooted in Christ. While Reiki has ancient roots tracing back over 2500 years, it was brought back into contemporary practice by Mikao Usui, a Christian headmaster in Japan during the 1940s. Usui believed in Jesus' miraculous healings and studied the Bible and Christian scriptures for 7 years in effort to understand how Jesus performed his miracles.
His religious exploration led him to fast at the top of a holy mountain, Mount Kurama, in attempt to connect with God and awaken the healing energy within himself. After 21 days of fasting, he had a shocking, yet profound experience of a white light appearing to him and knocking him unconscious. When he awoke, he could see rainbow colors and symbols in the sky that were vibrating and transmitting messages to him. He was so filled with light and energy, despite a 21 day fast, which was the first sign that something miraculous had occurred. Shortly
thereafter, Usui encountered several miraculous instances of instantaneous healing, both within himself and others. These experiences led him to the profound realization that he had been blessed with the divine gift of Christ's healing energy.
Reiki is a Japanese Kanji word; "Rei" means God's wisdom or God's light, and "ki" means universal life force energy. Usui began teaching a few students this healing modality and Reiki began to spread.
How reiki lost its root
As Reiki journeyed to the West, it underwent a process of westernization, primarily due to its transmission by Usui's students, many of whom were doctors. Consequently, some aspects of its spiritual essence were diluted or lost along the way. Reiki experienced a decline in Japan before resurging in popularity some time later, albeit in a westernized form, as that was the standard practice of Reiki most prevalent at the time of resurgence.
Over the last few decades Reiki has spread rapidly, appealling mostly to the New Age spiritual community as there is a lot of distortion around Reiki and energy healing being of sin or a means to connect with demonic spirits. It is a very understandable and valid concern, as there are many practitioners who are disconnected from the Holy Spirit and are unknowingly connecting with lower vibrational energies or working from their own ego.
No matter your spiritual beliefs or religious background—whether you’re healing from religious trauma and seeking a safe place to connect with God and the Holy Spirit outside of organized religion, desiring a Christian-centered approach, or simply looking for a more neutral Reiki experience—you can rest assured that your boundaries and beliefs will be honored. This is a safe, compassionate, and sacred space to explore both your spirituality and Reiki.
