Usui Reiki's History

Who was Iris Ishikuro ?

April 10, 2018 by Donna Miller-Small 1 Comment

Who was Iris Ishikuro?   She was not only one of Takata’s  twenty-two Master students but a very important person in the history of Reiki and it’s spread in the United States.

Iris was a relative of Mrs. Hawyo Takata, the woman responsible for bringing Reiki to the west through Hawaii.  When Mrs. Takata died in 1980, Iris decided not to abide by the oath she took when Mrs. Takata mastered her: the oath of charging ten thousand dollars to Master someone.  Iris Ishikuro mastered only two people, her daughter Ruby and Arthur Robinson who lived in the states.

The History of Reiki and the West

February 19, 2018 by Donna Miller-Small 1 Comment

In my previous blog post, I wrote about the History of Reiki covering only it’s beginning roots with Dr.Usui.  In this post, I want to continue the History of Reiki and how it came to the west.

Before his death in 1926, Dr. Usui taught more than 2000 students and initiated twenty Reiki Masters.  One of the twenty was Dr. Chujiro Hayashi.  Dr. Hayashi was Naval Officer as well as a medical doctor. He is important in the history of Reiki because he trained Mrs. Hawayao Takata who brought Reiki to the west.  Mrs. Takata lived in Hawaii and came to Japan in the late 1930’s seeking treatment for a medical condition.  She met Dr. Hayashi and spent six months in his Reiki clinic getting healed and learning the first levels of Reiki.

Usui Reiki’s History and what you need to know about it!

January 25, 2018 by Donna Miller-Small Leave a Comment

Why talk about Usui Reiki’s History?

When I first began to teach Reiki almost twenty years ago, I felt I needed to gain more knowledge about Reiki’s history.   I felt that I must give my students the best information I could find.  Many books at that time did not document what I thought to be an accurate account of Reiki’s history.  After searching and reading as much as I could gather, I got better information about Dr. Usui and  Usui Reiki’s history.   In this article, I want to share this information with you.
