Celebrating the birthdate of Mikao Usui, who brought Reiki to the world.⁠

Mikao Usui 15th August 1865 to 9th March 1926⁠

Mikao Usui was born on August 15, 1865, in Taniai, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Usui Sensei was born at a critical time in Japanese history: the end of the Edo period, the age of Feudalism. Japan was ruled by the Shogunate, which commanded the armies of Samurai warriors. In 1867, political dominion and rule were returned to the Emperor of Japan, and the age of Modernism began.⁠

Usui Mikao was the son and grandson of a merchant family whose ancestry can be traced back to the Chiba Samurai clan. He was not a samurai. Details of his childhood are unknown, so many of the stories on the internet are fabrications.⁠

In the small village of Taniai, there is only one Buddhist temple of the Jodo Shu (Pure Land) sect, where generation after generation of the Usui family’s remains are located. In the same village, there is a Shinto Shrine with a huge stone Torii (gate) where Usui Mikao and his younger brother’s names, Sanya and Kuniji, are engraved. Usui Sanya was a medical doctor in the army and opened a clinic in Tokyo after retirement. Usui Kuniji was a Police Officer in the local area where Usui Mikao was born. Kuniji retired and became a Shihan of the Gakkai and was teaching Reiki Ryoho to local people. ⁠

In 1922, Usui Mikao climbed Kurama Yama (Mount Kurama) north of Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan. At the time, he was almost 57 years old, an elderly man whose average lifespan was less than 50 years in Japan. Here, he undertook severe training by fasting and meditating for 21 days. He felt one Great Reiki and became enlightened, it is believed in March 1922. The exact date is not known. Usui Sensei accidentally realised that he had been given a wonderful gift, a mysterious healing ability, in his hands. Why Usui Sensei climbed the mountain and undertook severe training for 21 days is unknown.⁠

I'm very grateful for 15 years of Komyo ReikiDo practice. 🙏 I was privileged for the opportunity to learn directly from Hyakuten Inamoto, the founder of KRD, in NYC in July 2010. I was already a Reiki Master with a professional Reiki practice, but learning the Japanese approach to Usui Reiki Ryoho shifted and deepened my connection to Reiki and the way I practiced in a profound way. I've studied several more times with Inamoto Sensei, and it is an affirming experience each time. May I always try to live by our practice motto: "Place your hands, surrender, and smile." 🙌✨️

A Letter to the Blackbird:

I heard July is the end
of singing season for you,
for your song is only heard only for
a few short months each year,
and then time folds into quiet,
as if your part in the story is over,
once the season shifts,
and the world carries on.

Some would say a song ends
when it goes quiet,
that presence slips away
when the sound is gone.

But over and over again,
dear blackbird,
even when August comes,
I have come to find:
you’re still here...
in all you’ve already sung
in everything that changed
because you were singing...

through the weight of your trying
left on the backs of leaves,

the tremble held in your breath
found in the pause in the rain,

the short paths you flew
still traceable around the porch,

you have mattered more
than you know.

and even as July ends,
and even though
the fullness of your being-ness
has not always been recognized,
this song that is your life
travels much further
than you realize.

The Lion's Gate Portal 🦁♌️ is an annual astrological event that peaks on August 8th (8/8). This portal is believed to open a pathway between spiritual and physical realms, offering opportunities for enhanced manifestation, spiritual growth, and transformation.

The two weeks leading up to the Lion's Gate Portal is a powerful time to set intentions, manifest desires, and work on personal growth. And it starts TODAY! ✨️

Your existence is good.

You don't need to make yourself small.
You don't have to put on a mask or pretend to be someone you're not.
You were created for a sacred purpose.

You don't have to prove yourself to anyone.
Your being here is proof enough of your goodness.
You are beloved.

The same elements that created the Universe, our solar system, and our planet are an innate part of you.
You are never less than.
You are always enough.
 
You are good enough.
Worth enough.
Sacred enough.
And if you are even "too much", then so be it.
Too much is also good enough.

It is right and holy and good for you to take up space here.

The universe is in you.
You contain multitudes.
You carry the light of the endless stars.

You have a right to be here.
You have a right to exist:
in this skin,
in this body,
in this identity.

You are good.
Your existence is good.
You are beloved.
And you belong here.

"My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires." — Hazrat Inayat Khan

We've been having some issues with the pump in our garden pond all season, so we turned it off a couple of months ago.

Although I miss the soothing sound of the water spilling over the little waterfall, I've been observing how the absence of its constant movement created the stillness needed for the pond to flourish.

Frogs take refuge on the lily pads, hopping in and out of the brackish water. Dragonflies perch on the rocky edges, or on a plant stem to rest and stalk mosquitoes. Lilies and hibiscus bloom with utter abandon. The pond is lush and verdant in ways it wasn't when the water feature was running.

When your mind and heart aren't continually churning, the inner quality of your being can grow deep, nourishing roots. The clarity of your thoughts can bloom vibrantly. Your wisdom unfurls like a lily pad stretching across the surface of the water.

Reiki has a way of gently ushering in the inner stillness that is deep, full, and harmonizing. Whether you practice Reiki on yourself or receive a session from a practitioner, you can experience the peace of calm and quietude your spirit has been seeking in the frenetic energy of day-to-day life.

Dana Young is a certified Komyo ReikiDo teacher/practitioner, certified life coach, workshop leader, and the owner of Dragonfly Reiki, in Atlanta GA. I work primarily with women who are facing the joys and challenges of moving through the years and rites of passage associated with actively building an “adult” life, and later shifting into the more experienced, deepening wisdom phase of life. Women are under tremendous pressure to get it right, to lean in, to do and be all things to their careers, relationships and families. All the universe asks of you is to be authentically who you are meant to be. And we are not meant to do this without support and guidance.

If you are feeling stuck, out of balance, struggling with your well-being, yearning for a deeper spiritual life, or are seeking help resetting your inner compass, I am here to help you reconnect with your own inner bright light through my unique offerings of traditional Japanese Reiki healing, energy medicine, spiritually-based coaching, and intuitive guidance.

As a healer and teacher, my goal for your journey is for the well-being, peace, and wholeness you seek to begin to shine through and illuminate your life.
