Born on the 15th of August 1865, Usui Mikao died 9 March 1926. A new form of spiritual practice, Usui is the founder of Reiki. For the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental diseases, it is used as a complementary therapy.

One legend says Usui in 1922 received the gift of Reiki during a 21 day fasting at the holy Mount Kurama near Kyoto. Since that day his Reiki has spread. It is now recognized around the world both on a spiritual and scientific level. Thus, he founded the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai and initiated various students into Reiki Masters. Among these students was his successor Dr. Chujiro Hayashi. Go beyond Usui reiki here: usui reiki

The recipe for a happy life according to Usui's legacy is that a person should work on what can be improved and otherwise accept life as it happens. There are five concepts or five principles, which is the essence of this teaching:

"The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine for all diseases:

At least for today, do not be angry.
Do not worry.
Do your work with appreciation.
Be kind to people. Be honest.

Every morning and evening, join your hands in meditation
and pray with your heart.
State in your mind and chant with your mouth."

The expression for the universal life energy is the concept Reiki (spoken: Ree-Kii) and comes from Japanese.

I do not deny that Usui could have channeled reiki all on his own, but reiki is actually a very old cure, which was known way back, and written in the old Sanskrit Sutras over 2500 years ago. Since that time we speak of the original reiki as the Usui System of Reiki. Usui reiki go beyond it here: reiki teacher

Reiki can be given to oneself, or to others. You gently lay ones hand on or slightly above the body. The giver, the one who provides the Reiki-Energy, is the channel. Then through the hand this energy is given to the receiver.

Reiki is relaxing and pleasant, and works at a physical level. On the emotional level it creates confidence in oneself, and in others. It helps to have a lust for life, and to feel more balanced. Finally, it works on the mental level too: helps you to cope with everyday stress better.

There are similar systems too that are purer and more powerful like WhiteLight Self-Empowerment, among all the hundreds of other reiki forms. The way Daniela teaches Reiki is very easy for everyone to learn.

Daniela offers you Reiki seminars which are easy to understand and to use as tools of self-empowerment. Once you are initiated into reiki, the reiki healing power will be all yours for the rest of your life.

Although for many Usui reiki is a great place to start with energy healing, the best thing to do would be to look into WhiteLight Self-Empowerment, or the Golden Eye Grid, which are more modern purer energy systems. Daniela is the original founder of the modern grid systems, (the Grid Connection, the healing grid, the Golden Eye Grid). Her grids have started a new movement in Germany, and goes beyond Usui reiki. Her systems are designed in such a way to protect the energy, in order to maintain their high frequencies. Usui reiki go beyond it here: reiki masters
