Hawayo Takata: Mother of Modern Reiki

reiki-healingThis is a biography of Hawayo Takata. It’s important to keep in mind the history of Reiki and its earliest masters. They have become rather complicated over the years. Since practitioners and teachers have added elements of their own culture and understanding to the stories.
Hawayo Takata spread the healing art of Reiki (“universal life force,” or as Mrs. Takata called it, “God power”) through the Western world. As a Japanese American, she helped to promote understanding of Japanese spiritual culture, in a time when all things Japanese were rather taboo.
Hawayo Takata was born in 1900, on Christmas Eve, in Hawaii. For thirty years she lived in America with no exposure to Eastern holistic healing methods. In 1930, when her sister died, she traveled to Japan to inform her family there of the passing. While Mrs. Takata was in Japan she became very ill and was hospitalized. As surgeons prepared to operate on her, she kept hearing a voice in her head telling her that surgery was not necessary.
Finally, she asked if there were other healing options available to her, and the doctors referred her to Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, Reiki practitioner.
Mrs. Takata, as she begged him to teach her the healing art. Reluctantly he complied, and taught her to the level we now call Reiki II, which meant she was able to self-heal; heal others, but not to train others. Dr. Hayashi was the Grand-Master of Reiki. He was appointed by Dr Mikao Usui, the founder and discoverer of the Reiki practice. He was also an officer in the Japanese naval reserve. He healed Mrs. Takata.
In 1936, Dr. Hayashi visited Mrs. Takata in Hawaii when he traveled there for a speaking tour to promote Reiki. There he trained her to what we now call Reiki III, making her a Reiki Master, and giving her the ability to train others. He also made her promise that should he summon her to Japan, she would immediately heed his call.
Dr. Hayashi passed his Grand mastery to Mrs. Takata. As the political climate in the world worsened, and the storm clouds of World War II loomed on the horizon for Japan. Mrs. Takata received a physic dream in which DR. Hayashi appeared to her and asked her to visit Japan to him. When arriving to Dr. Hayashi, Mrs. Takata found him in a state of much distress. He believed he would soon be called into action in the navy, and forced to fight. He told her that his spiritual developments over the years prevented him from being able to partake in violence. He died with his family and fellow practitioners by self will after passing it to her. Thus, Dr Hayashi’s life ended, but his work continued through Mrs. Takata.

The chakras can be said to be small but vital parts of our body which are also the crucial parts of a large network of sub-tile energies. The human body consists of the most important systems of our body such as the breathing, sensory, digestion, circulation, secretion and reproduction systems. Corresponding to these six systems, there are other six chakras for the bodily functioning of these systems. The brain of our body and the complete person also has one chakra which thus makes in total 7 chakras. These chakras are situated in the various positions such as the top of our head, forehead, throat, solar plexus, heart, naval and the bottom of the pelvis.

The activity of these 7 chakras in our body cause the various changes and activities in our body such as our body shape, the chronic physical ailments, various glandular processes, our thoughts and behavior. If under any circumstances or reasons, one or more chakras get blocked in our body it will affects the energy flowing through them. Thus, it will directly cause an imbalance in the various systems of our body and thus affect all the obvious areas of our life. Hence, one should be very careful and also take care of all the chakras in our body. During the reiki treatment, the chakras and position of the hands of the practitioner play a very crucial part in the healing of the patient.

  • Naval chakra- According to the reiki principles, the naval corresponds to the reproduction system of our body which includes the testicles, ovaries and also has an effect on the urinary bladder and the kidney.

  • Crown chakra- This chakra is one of the most important chakras in our body. It doesn’t correspond to any particular system or organ but actually corresponds to the whole person.

According to the tradition and the principles of reiki, each of these chakras also corresponds to a particular gland of our body.

The chakras in our body cause different types of reaction which mainly depends on the energy level in the reiki chakras. A chakra can be in a balanced state or active state or can be in an over active state or perhaps under active state. Reiki has the power to keep these energy chakras in a proper balance as well as keep the corresponding organs healthy.

The endocrine system is a major part in the proper functioning of all the organs in our body. It is known that the chakras, change their energy level from on to the other thus passing “Chi” or the energy to the whole body. All this according to the reiki researches and studies is done through the endocrine system which also helps to regulate the other systems of our body. The glands in our body secrete several hormones which flow directly into the bloodstream and also are responsible for the growth, development and the various other activities of our body. Most of the physical problems caused in our body, result due to the improper flow of energy in our system which is made of meridians and the 7 chakras.
