ORIGINS AND LINEAGE

The Original Seven Level system unifies the Eastern and Western teachings of the Authentic Source and lineage of the Reiki Seven Levels of Universal Energy.

Dr. Mikao Usui ~ 7B Grand Master Teacher

Dr. Mikao Usui was a scholar of many philosophies and teachings. In search for a deeper knowledge about the mysteries of life and the use of healing energies he rediscovered Reiki in the mid-nineteenth century.

The Original Seven Reiki System is a complete system and contains seven symbols that are a language of light and activate universal energy. Dr Mikao Usui kept the authentic symbols completely intact and respected their true form.

After working with the formula found in ancient sutras and perfecting them through his meditation, Dr Usui then passed on his work to others including his successor, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi who continued the Reiki tradition keeping authentic Reiki symbols sacred and in their true form.

Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, a member of the Japanese aristocracy,  was a young medical surgeon and had his own private Reiki clinic in Tokyo.

Frequently his patients would also receive Reiki from several practitioners at once.

 

The Five Reiki Principles of Dr Chujiro Hayashi

  • Today, I am feeling love.

  • Today, I am feeling joy.

  • Today, I am counting my many blessings

  • Today, I am earning my living honestly.

  • Today, I am showing kindness to every living creature.

Hawayo Takata ~ 7B Grand Master Teacher

In the late 1930’s a Hawaiian female patient Hawayo Takata who was very ill and expected to die found herself completely healed within eight months through Reiki treatments in Dr Hayashi’s clinic.

Her experience with Reiki transformed her life and gave her the desire to learn Reiki and to help others. By 1940 she was trained by Dr Hayashi in the complete formula of the Seven Level System of Reiki.


Hawayo Takata practiced and taught Reiki for the next thirty years mainly on the Hawaiian Islands. It was not until her seventies Mrs Takata felt it was time to instruct people as Reiki teachers.

She had trained twenty-two Reiki teachers altogether, most of whom were trained up to the first teacher level, Reiki 3B, to attune students to Reiki Degree Levels 1 & 2 only.

Dr Barbara Weber Ray was trained to the highest teacher level, Reiki 7B, and was the only person entrusted to teach the entire Seven Degrees System of Reiki.
