Origins & Lineage

Authentic History & Lineage Explained

During a session, practitioners help clients access a state of deep relaxation and emotional equilibrium, without claiming specific medical outcomes.

The 7 level system of Reiki is an ancient practice of energy based on special language of symbols and light codes. Everything in the physical universe is energy, E=mc2 the law of physics, by Einstein in his Theory of Relativity. No energy is created or destroyed. Reiki works at a cellular level and dissolves and transmutes all negative energy into love and light. Reiki energy interacts and flows through all energy mass, like the speed of light, to resonate at your vibrational level. 

The higher the vibrational rate of the Reiki energy within the cells of the body, the faster the body regenerates and restores greater health.

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 (1865–1926) was the founder of the modern Reiki system. He combined his knowledge of meditation, spiritual practice, and healing to develop a method of working with universal life force energy, which he taught to students in Japan. He was a scholar of many philosophies and teachings and 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 (1880–1940) was a Japanese naval surgeon who studied with Mikao Usui. After training with Usui in Tokyo, Hayashi established a Reiki clinic where he refined Reiki practice and trained many students, including Hawayo Takata, who later introduced Reiki to the West. He help formalise techniques and hand positions that are still used today.

  • 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​

Hawayo Takata (1900–1980) was a Japanese-American student of Dr. Chujiro Hayashi who played a key role in bringing Reiki to Hawaii and then to the Western world

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.

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.
