Dr. Micow Usui was a Shingon Buddhist Priest and a Physician. He was the Son of the Secretary of Mayor of Tokyo during the late Meiji era. Born in the later half of the 19th century, he died in the mid of the same century. He was of minor Aristocracy and as a young man was originally encouraged to go into business. As this was not his true proclivity, he instead studied the Japanese and Chinese Healing Arts, and later western Allopathic medicines with Christian missionary doctors.
Due to a powerful spiritual experience in his late twenties, during a serious boot with cholera, Usui felt drawn to the spiritual side of life. As a true Bodhi Sathwa, he rediscovered a very ancient Healing Art revealed in a thousand hundred year old Buddhist manuscript. The Tantra of the Lightening Flash that heals the body and illumines the mind which included a few practices that he adopted for the benefit of lay people of all religion and backround.
Dr. Usui created a brief synthesis of the essense of this seven level Tantric teaching as Reiki(Universal Life Force Energy) as it conveys the healing energy through the simple laying on of soothing hands. He divided the first level of teaching in three degrees and shared his knowledge and experience in his own medical practice with many people. The more subtle aspects however were only taught to his ninteen close students. The foremost among them being Dr. Watanabe in the system of all levels and Dr. Hayashi in the system of the synthesis called Reiki.
This Practice deals with the healing of Mind, Body, and the Spirit. This focuses into the subtle factors of the individual. Today, most of the diseases are the frustration of the Spirit carried over from a previous life time zone and these could only be rectified by Healing. The first among the Healing Practices is Reiki and this we call it here as Reiki with New Dimension.
Reiki with New Dimension is a form of Empowerment which treats a man as a whole. Here the New Dimensional Ray is intensified to activate the Human Energy Centers. This intensified Energy clears off negativities, karma, improves relationship, helps one to get uplifted Spiritually and heals the Soul for Personal Transformation. It transforms all negativities into positivity.
A very ancient Art of Healing using Cosmic Energy as the source is now practiced in almost every corners on this Earth. This Healing Art which was once a mystery to this World, got introduced by Dr. Micow Usui who rediscovered it
in the early 19th Century. The very concept of this Healing Method is that it heals the Mind, Body, and the Soul.
Reiki is not a Religion as it holds no creed or doctrine, indeed it is a very ancient Science hidden for thousands of years. Reiki is a Japanese word which means Universal Life Force Energy. It is a miraculous Healing Method which heals all diseases and could be used to treat
Physical, Emotional, and Mental factors of Man. Reiki could also be used wisely to handle the day-to-day situations in a very positive way and it gives complete protection to the individual and to his living environment. Since Reiki knows what to do and how to heal a person, one does not require any medical knowledge, medicine, or medical equipment to treat a client. It can be used to compliment any therapy provided that it does not suppress the complaint the person has.
Reiki Energy and Techniques has been passed on from Teacher to student through an Attunement process starting with the one who channeled it. The ability to do Reiki comes from receiving an Attunement rather than developing the ability over time through the use of meditation and other exercises. Since Reiki is an Initiatory Technique, one cannot do away with time honoured Guru-Disciple relationship. Initiation or
Attunement is a Ritual resulting in the descend of Divine Energy into the Human Energy system and there are progressive Initiations to raise the Spiritual level of the Initiate higher and higher.
On the Physical level, all viruses, toxins, and impurities are flushed out of Human System. The Electro Magnetic Field of the Man is cleansed off wholly. All physical and psychological disorders are healed by Reiki’s miraculous Healing Ray.
Energy is Divine and the changes that takes place in our Body and Mind are Scientific and the Realization of the Soul is Gracious. Reiki can never be understood intellectually, but can only be experienced. The flow of Reiki makes us feel Successful, Prosperous, and Rich in all aspects of our Life and the key to Reiki is its Simplicity.

On the whole Reiki is harmless and it is a system which makes one realize his Self and erase the past karma.
