Questions and Answers
about Reiho from Usui Sensei
Taken from the Usui Reiki Ryoho Hikkei,
Usui Sensei's Shoden Manual
Usui Sensei said, "It is an old custom to
teach the method to only my descendant for keeping a wealth within a
family. Especially the modern societies we live in wish to share
happiness of coexistence and co-prosperity. So I don’t allow my family
to keep the method to ourselves.
My Usui Reiki Ryoho is an original,
there is nothing like this in the world. So I would like to release
this method to the public for everyone’s benefit and hope for
everyone’s happiness. My Reiki Ryoho is an original method based on
intuitive power in the universe. By this power, body gets healthy and
enhances happiness of life and peaceful mind.
Nowadays people need
improvement and reconstruction inside and outside of life, so the
reason for releasing my method to the public is to help people with
illness of body and mind.
What is Usui Reiki Ryoho?
Graciously I
have received Meiji Emperor’s last injunctions. For achieving my
teachings, training and improving physically and spiritually and
walking in a right path as a human being, first we have to heal our
spirit. Secondly we have to keep our body healthy. If our spirit is
healthy and conformed to the truth, body will get healthy naturally.
Usui Reiki Ryoho’s missions are to lead peaceful and happy life, heal
others and improve happiness of others and ourselves.
Is there any
similarity to hypnotism, Kiai method, religious method or any other
methods?
No, there is no similarity to any of those methods. This
method is to help body and spirit with intuitive power, which I’ve
received after long and hard training.
Then, is it psychic method of
treatment?
Yes, you could say that. But you could also say it is
physical method of treatment. The reasons why is Ki and light are
emanated from healer’s body, especially from eyes, mouth and hands. So
if healer stares or breathes on or strokes with hands at the affected
area such as toothache, colic pain, stomachache, neuralgia, bruises,
cuts, burns and other swellings with pain will be gone. However a
chronic disease is not easy, it’s needed some time. But a patient will
feel improvement at the first treatment. There is a fact more than a
novel how to explain this phenomenon with modern medicine. If you see
the fact you would understand. Even people who use sophistry can not
ignore the fact.
Do I have to believe in Usui Reiki Ryoho to get
better result?
No. It’s not like a psychological method of treatment
or hypnosis or other kind of mental method. There is no need to have a
consent or admiration. It doesn’t matter if you doubt, reject or deny
it. For example, it is effective to children and very ill people who
are not aware of any consciousness, such as a doubt, rejection or
denying. There may be one out of ten who believes in my method before
a treatment. Most of them learn the benefit after first treatment then
they believe in the method.
Can any illness be cured by Usui Reiki
Ryoho?
Any illness such as psychological or an organic disease can be
cured by this method.
Does Usui Reiki Ryoho only heal illness?
No.
Usui Reiki Ryoho does not only heal illness. Mental illness such as
agony, weakness, timidity, irresolution, nervousness and other bad
habit can be corrected. Then you are able to lead happy life and heal
others with mind of God or Buddha. That becomes principle object.
How
does Usui Reiki Ryoho work?
I’ve never been given this method by
anybody nor studied to get psychic power to heal. I accidentally
realized that I have received healing power when I felt the air in
mysterious way during fasting. So I have a hard time explaining
exactly even I am the founder. Scholars and men of intelligence have
been studying this phenomenon but modern science can’t solve it. But I
believe that day will come naturally.
Does Usui Reiki Ryoho use any
medicine and are there any side effects?
Never uses medical
equipment. Staring at affected area, breathing onto it, stroking with
hands, laying on of hands and patting lightly with hands are the way
of treatment.
Do I need to have knowledge of medicine?
My method is
beyond a modern science so you do not need knowledge of medicine. If
brain disease occurs, I treat a head. If it’s a stomachache, I treat a
stomach. If it’s an eye disease, I treat eyes. You don’t have to take
bitter medicine or stand for hot moxa treatment. It takes short time
for a treatment with staring at affected area or breathing onto it or
laying-on-of-hands or stroking with hands. These are the reason why my
method is very original.
What do famous medical scientists think of
this method?
The famous medical scientists seem very reasonable.
European medical scientists have severe criticism towards medicine.
To return to the subject:
Dr. Nagai of Teikoku Medical University
says, “we as doctors do diagnose, record and comprehend illnesses but
we don’t know how to treat them.”
Dr. Kondo says, “it is not true that
medical science made a great progress. It is the biggest fault in the
modern medical science that we don’t take notice of psychological
affect.
Dr. Kuga says, “it is a fact that psychological therapy and
other kind of healing treatment done by healers without doctor’s
training works better than doctors, depending on type of illnesses or
patient’s personality or application of treatment. Also the doctors
who try to repel and exclude psychological healers without doctor’s
training are narrow-minded."
Nihon Iji Shinpo
It is obvious fact that
doctors, medical scientists and pharmacists recognize the effect of my
method and become a pupil.
What is the government’s reaction?
On
February 6th, 1922, at the Standing Committee on Budget of House of
Representatives, a member of the Diet Dr. Matsushita asked for
government’s view about the fact that people who do not have doctor’s
training have been treating many patients with psychological or
spiritual method of treatment.
Mr. Ushio, a government delegate says,
“a little over 10 years ago people thought hypnosis is a work of
long-nosed goblin but nowadays study has been done and it’s applied to
mentally ill patients. It is very difficult to solve human intellect
with just science. Doctors follow the instruction how to treat
patients by medical science, but it’s not a medical treatment such as
electric therapy or just touching with hands to all illnesses.” So my
Usui Reiki Ryoho does not violate the Medical Practitioners Law or
Shin-Kyu (acupuncture and moxa treatment) Management Regulation.
People would think that this kind of healing power is gifted to the
selected people, not by training.
No, that isn’t true. Every
existence has healing power. Plants, trees, animals, fish and insects,
but especially a human as the lord of creation has remarkable power.
Usui Reiki Ryoho is materialized the healing power that human has.
Then, can anybody receive Denju of Usui Reiki Ryoho?
Of course, a
man, woman, young or old, people with knowledge or without knowledge,
anybody who has a common sense can receive the power accurately in a
short time and can heal selves and others. I have taught to more than
one thousand people but no one is failed. Everyone is able to heal
illness with just Shoden. You may think it is inscrutable to get the
healing power in a short time but it is reasonable. It’s the feature
of my method that heals difficult illnesses easily.
If I can heal
others, can I heal myself?
If you can’t heal yourself, how can you
heal others.
How can I receive Okuden?
Okuden includes Hatsureiho,
patting with hands method, stroking with hands method, pressing with
hands method, telesthetic method and propensity method. I will teach
it to people who have learned Shoden and who are good students, good
conduct and enthusiasts.
Is there higher level more than Okuden?
Yes, there is a level called Shinpiden.
