The 15th of August is celebrated as World Reiki Day, marking the anniversary of the birth of its modern discoverer, Sensei Mikao Usui, who is considered the father of Reiki for rediscovering this healing practice that uses universal energy or ‘chi’ and dates back thousands of years. Reiki is a form of energy therapy that involves the transfer of healing energy through the hands.
In honour of Usui-Sensei’s teachings:
- Don’t get angry today.
- Don’t be grievous.
- Express your thanks.
- Be diligent in your work.
- Be kind to others.
Usui-Sensei emphasised that, “This is surely a secret process to bring good fortune and also a miraculous medicine to remedy all kinds of diseases.”
