ABSTRACT
Reiki was discovered and developed by a Doctor Mikao Usui who was born in Japan
in 1865. This is an ancient healing method, which has become very popular here in
the west. Reiki is a very practical energy-healing technique that is easy to learn and
easy to use. Anyone who has an open mind with an interest in holism and healing
can learn to harness the healing powers of the earth’s energy. It provides a ‘hands-
on’ approach to relaxation and healing, and is a source of enrichment to everyday
life.
