Jikiden Reiki in Melbourne

What is Reiki?

The original term for this is Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho and translates into. It is a non-religious healing technique founded and developed by Mr.Mikao Usui. *1865-1926 Before the Second World War, it's said that there were more than a million practitioners here in Japan. After the war, in the process of modernization of the country, Reiki seemed to have disappeared. However, it had been spread to the West and since 1990s it has gradually been regaining popularity in Japan.

Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, one of Mr.Usui's prominent students, contributed to bring Reiki to the West. It was spread through his student Ms. Takata who lived in Hawaii at that time. Dr.Hayashi also taught Reiki to numerous students in Japan. One of them was Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi. She learned Reiki directly from Dr.Hayashi in the late 1930s and practiced it throughout her life. In the late 1990s, her son Mr.Tadao Yamaguchi started teaching Reiki based on Dr.Hayashi's Reiki seminars his mother Chiyoko participated about 70 years ago. Tadao Yamaguchi has been making great efforts to pass down this great legacy of healing method to those who wish to learn.

Reiki is an art of energy healing. It works for both physical and psychological sides of health by reactivating the natural healing ability that humans originally possess. A Reiki treatment is carried out by a practitioner (channel) who receives Reiki energy from the Universe. With simply laying hands, the practitioner transmits the energy onto the receiver. Reiki is beneficial not only for those who are in poor health to recover but also for healthy people to maintain good health.

What is JIKIDEN REIKI?

In the late 1990s, Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a Japanese lady who learned Reiki from Usui sensei's direct disciple- Dr. Chujiro Hayashi (Naval Officer) in 1938 came to light. She was initiated to Reiki at age of 17.

After that, she practiced Reiki throughout her life until she passed away in 2003.

She started teaching with her son Tadao Yamaguchi in 1999 with the name Jikiden Reiki(直傳靈氣)　"Jikiden" means "directly passed down" (direct teachings of Dr.Chujiro Hayashi).
