What is Usui System of Natural Healing? History, Principles & Five Precepts

Authored by Spiritual Doctor Rupa Baranwal (Reiki Grand Master) • Usui Reiki Foundation

The Usui System of Natural Healing (Usui Shiki Ryoho) was codified in Japan in the early twentieth century by Dr. Mikao Usui. It is a non-invasive, gentle, yet extraordinarily powerful holistic practice that channels universal cosmic life force through the practitioner's hands to balance mind, body, and spirit.

The Five Sacred Reiki Precepts (Gokai)

Mikao Usui taught that physical health is the mirror of mental peace. Every healer at Usui Reiki Foundation begins the day with these five divine precepts:

  • Just for today, I will not anger.
  • Just for today, I will not worry.
  • Just for today, I will be grateful.
  • Just for today, I will work with honesty and integrity.
  • Just for today, I will be kind to all living beings.

The Pure Energy of Universal Life Force

Reiki energy is guided by supreme spiritual consciousness (Rei) flowing through vitality (Ki). It does not deplete the healer's personal vitality; instead, it enriches both the practitioner and recipient simultaneously.
