Usui Reiki

Fabio Maiocchi’s first encounter with holistic therapies came through Usui Reiki. Through this discipline Fabio reawakened the pranotherapy abilities he had had since childhood, placing them at the service of others.

The name Reiki comes from the combination of Japanese and Chinese characters meaning spiritual (rei) and life force (ki). The Usui Reiki method takes its name from its founder, Mikao Usui. Usui was a physician, a martial arts master and an Unsui wandering monk of the Mikkyo order, and later a Tendai lay monk. In 1922 Usui began to spread this spiritual and energetic healing practice, which he had received after twenty-one days of meditation and fasting.

Reiki is still passed on from teacher to student today; the student is guided towards channelling Universal Energy so that it can become a source of healing for all living beings.

Along this spiritual path, Fabio developed a sense of letting go of the personal self, of ego and of attachment, undergoing a genuine inner transformation.

“The therapist” – says Fabio Maiocchi – “is merely an intermediary, a channel for healing. He should always give thanks to everything that comes from the Source, and not to himself, because a good therapist is only a channel for Universal Healing Energy, with no personal merit or prerogative”.
