Who discovered Reiki? Where did it start?
Reiki, as a natural system of healing, was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the latter part of the 19th century. Reiki was brought to the West by Mrs. Hawayo Takata, Reiki Master par excellence. Today, the Usui System of Reiki Healing is practiced throughout the world. A more detailed “history” of Reiki is shared by a Reiki Master in a Reiki Level I Class.
