The Reiki Teachings That Preceded Usui

🔔 Did you know that 10 years before the founding of Usui’s Reiki, there was already a Japanese healing system using the word Reiki?

In the early 1900s, Morihei Tanaka was teaching a complete system of spiritual healing and breath-based energy work called Taireidō. His writings describe the use of Reiki (霊気) as a spiritual current accessible through presence, breath, and direct experience.

These texts are available as ebooks.
