The Epic of Reiki, A Living History of Healing: From Japan to the World, the Untold Story of Light and Transformation

A timeless journey through light, myth, and healing.

From a mountaintop in Japan to clinics, temples, and healing circles across the world, Reiki has travelled hand to hand, heart to heart, for over a century. The Epic of Reiki: A Living History of Healing is the first book to tell this story in full - weaving together history, myth, and the voices of practitioners around the globe.

You'll discover:

• The awakening of Mikao Usui on Mount Kurama and the origins of Reiki's current.
• The clinical methods of Chujiro Hayashi, who gave Reiki structure and discipline.
• The storytelling genius of Hawayo Takata, who carried Reiki across the Pacific.
• The disputes, fractures, and rediscoveries that shaped Reiki's lineages.
• Reiki's presence today - in hospitals, refugee camps, prisons, and online.

More than a history, this is an invitation. Written in a unique chorus of voices, historian, practitioner, skeptic, and the current itself, this book honours both fact and myth, challenge and devotion.

Whether you are a seeker new to Reiki, a long-time practitioner, or simply curious about how healing traditions cross cultures, The Epic of Reiki offers a journey of reflection and renewal.

Reiki is not finished. It flows wherever hands are open.
