The interesting history of Reiki
So you've read all the normal bla bla about the history of Reiki. It's a nice fairy tale, but is it okay if we are a little critical for a moment? Let's look at the curious saga of Reiki's past with fresh eyes. While it often regales us with mystical tales of spiritual awakening and healing, let's have some fun with our historical scrutiny. So, picture this: the historical records on Mikao Usui and the birth of Reiki are about as scarce as a unicorn sighting. We're relying heavily on word-of-mouth and campfire stories here! Usui's early escapades, his journey into the mystical realm, and the nitty-gritty details of his teachings are all wrapped in a cloak of mystery, leaving us scratching our heads and craving more. Now, onto the pièce de résistance—the legendary tale of Usui's divine light bulb moment during his epic 21-day mountain retreat. It's like something out of a fantasy novel, right? But hold your horses, because this story lacks a bit of oomph in the evidence department. No contemporary records or eyewitness accounts? Cue the skeptics. And let's not forget our leading lady, Hawayo Takata, swooping in to sprinkle some Reiki magic across the Western world. While Takata's contribution to Reiki's global journey is undeniable, her version of the practice got a serious makeover to suit Western tastes. Talk about a Reiki glow-up! But wait, there's more. The late 20th century saw Reiki explode like confetti at a birthday bash, with new lineages and schools popping up left, right, and center. It's like a Reiki Renaissance. But with great diversity comes great... confusion? Yeah, let's go with confusion. Different strokes for different folks, right? So, while Reiki's history may read like a wild rollercoaster ride, let's not forget to add a dash of skepticism, a pinch of humor, and a whole lot of curiosity into our quest for the truth. After all, who says unraveling the mysteries of the universe can't be fun? Just so you know, I'm serious about the serious stuff. Regaining our true connection with source, developing our innate intuition, and recapturing real self-acceptance. But the history of Reiki? I can take it or leave it. Reiki is a powerful practice there's no doubt, let's focus on what that brings and how we can go forwards.

The history is nice, but it is also good to keep both feet on the ground and live in the here and now. My humble opinion😉

Hi, My name is Bennie den Bleker from the north of the Netherlands and i've done all my courses Reiki 1,2 and Master with Justin In Amsterdam. In fact i think i was in the same class as @Fardau Jansma for Reiki 2? In my everyday life i'm a father of 2 boys (11 and 8 years old), i have a fiancé who has a son of 14 years. My occupation is Projectmanager in industrial projects. In my spare time i'm a karatepractitioner for 28 years and a techer for over 18 years, also i'm a divinginstructor just for fun. I'm a Reikimaster since april 2024. My goal with Reiki is to combine it with other practitions for my future coachingpractice. In martial arts i've learned the body, mind & spirit approach, since Reiki is treating all these area's i think Reiki is really interesting and i see it as a really nice foundation together with my martial arts perspective. On top of this i would like o go more in depth in every discipline. Body (thai chi/ chi kungs), Mind (hypnosis/ and some other coachingsmechanisms), Spirit (breathwork and such). I would like to get to know more people with teh same state of mind and heart and would love to spar about these things.
