Reiki History
Reiki is the Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy, the energy which is all around us. Reiki by enhancing the life force with energy transmitted through the hands enables the body to mobilize its healing resources. When activated Reiki addresses body, mind and spirit. It accelerates the body’s ability to heal physical ailments and opens the mind and spirit to the causes of disease and pain, the necessity for taking responsibility for one’s of life and the joys of balanced wellness.
The Usui system of Reiki is a natural healing art which uses Reiki in these ways.
Reiki is an ancient art rediscovered last century by a Japanese scholar, Dr. Mikao Usui.
He discovered a formula in Sanskrit writings. His successor, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi appointed an American of Japanese descent, Hawayo Takata to bring Reiki to the Western World after the Second World War.
Takata then initiated her Granddaughter Phyllis Lei Furumoto who is the Lineage Bearer of the Usui Shiki Ryoho System.
Phyllis passed down the tradition by initiating Jan Pritchard as a Master of the Usui System of Natural Healing.
Usui Shiki Ryoho history has been since the late 1800s

Our spiritual Lineage is:

Please note (Other systems of reiki have been since 1980 since Mrs Takatas passing)
JANS HISTORY
I was initiated in Randwick Sydney into REIKI 1 in 1986 by Rev Beth Gray..As a reiki practitioner I sent many of my clients to learn REIKI with Beth in Sydney .
After sending 7 -8 people at a time to RANDWICK Beth suggested I organize classes in my own area with a minimum of 35 people of which I did
I co ordinated seminars for Beth at Terrigal and The Entrance NSW .
Beth Gray was initiated as a master by Mrs Takata in the 1970s and brought reiki to Australia from California in the early 1980s
During these nine years before becoming a master I treated clients with Reiki at my clinic Gorokan Natural Health Centre NSW.
I also co ordinated classes in Newcastle and Sydney.I assisted at classes in England and Hong Kong, Canberra and Albury
I held a weekly reiki group as well from my home. In 1992 Beth had a stroke and was unable to initiate me as a master.I travelled to California to visit Beth in hospital.When I returned to Aust Beths students were notified of her massive stroke.Beths Reiki 2 students proceeded to send distant treatments to her. Beth improved remarkably and lived in a nursing home until her transition May 2008.
She will be remembered by me for all her love and knowledge that she passed on. I have much gratitude to Beth, words cannot describe the legacy she has left to the reiki australia community.
In 1994 in Perth I was initiated as a master by grandmaster Phyllis Lei Furumoto after completing my training in Europe and Perth.
I have been teaching since 1995 inititating lots of students since.Holding classes at Central Coast N.S.W. Camden,Liverpool,Randwick,Noosa,Maitland ,Newcastle,Gosford,Melbourne Greece ,Phillipines,Indonesia., Gold Coast.
Throughout this time I have continued with private practice giving reiki treatments.I also have been holding practitioner training courses since 2007
In 2007 Phyllis Lei Furumoto invited me to U.S.A. for further training so I could initiate Masters. I am now a grandmaster of Usui Shiki Ryoho.
I have initiated 3of my students as Masters of USUI SHIKI RYOHO.These Masters are now supporting the system.
I am available to my students for how ever long they need, for some it has been 15 years, holding retreats,intensives,groups.Students are able to come back and review classes whenever.
My students have had ongoing support ever since they completed their reiki1 & 2 courses and practitioner courses..
Each day as I practice my reiki I see another healing miracle you can become part of my history ,by becoming my student .
The opportunity is there for you to have your own history with Reiki.
lots of Love Jan
