Chiara GRANDI - Komyo ReikiDo Italia
Brescia, Italy
Inamoto Sensei With Chiara Grandhi
First of all, he corrected me saying that he is not a Reiki "master" but a Reiki Teacher, as a teacher is a person who while teaching, continues to learn something from his students. The Reiki teacher does not teach the student to live; on the contrary he helps him to learn how to choose and then the student has to undertake the path towards spiritual enlightenment by himself.

How did Reiki came to your life?
My family doctor said I would have had to take pain killers for the rest of my life in order to reduce the pain in my arm which I could barely move. I was also told by the otorhinolaryngologist that I would have to be operated for the second time. The pain killers didn't succeed in eliminating the pain in my arm.
One day, a friend of mine who is fond of martial arts and alternative sciences said to me: "I've got second level Reiki; I can heal the pain in your arm." "Well, let's try!" I said whatever that Reiki was. Basically, my friend puts his hands on my sore arm and a short while later, the pain was gone. Two days later, my arm started hurting again. I asked my friend to try Reiki one more time. The pain completely disappeared. "Wow!" I said, "Not even the strongest pain killers can do as much. But, what is this Reiki? "it's a Japanese healing technique which balances a person's energies through the laying on if hands, " my friend answered. "How can I learn this technique?" "Can I do it to myself?" "Yes, sure!" I had always been skeptical about this kind of thing. I didn't believe in anything that could not be seen or touched. All the same, I wanted to get well so I looked for a Reiki teacher
When and how did you meet Inamoto Sensei?
I put together all my savings and went to meet Takashi and Misato, the two Japanese friends I had met in England and the USA. With my Japanese friend's help and after some searching, I found a Reiki Teacher in Kyoto. He was a Buddhist monk with a lineage closed to the Reiki Founder, Mikao Usui: Rev.Hyakuten Inamoto.

What do you like about Komyo Reiki?
It is important to keep clearly in mind that Komyo Reiki is different from the rest of Reiki techniques. The basic difference is that it focuses on self-abandon to the Universal Energy during the treatment. Komyo Reiki teaches you to follow your intuition.
When I began to practice Reiki, I couldn't imagine that this discipline would have changed my life. Thanks to its simplicity and quickness, I could appreciate from the beginning its beneficent effects. The 'efficiency of this technique pushed me to go to Japan to research Reiki origins, and here I found a Teacher and a way to take: the Rev. Inamoto Hyakuten and his Komyo Reiki.
When I came back to Italy I could see how much Komyo Reiki was appreciated for its purity and its strenght, and I realized that it wasn't right to keep it only for myself. I wanted to give to everyone the possibility to receive this discipline in its original form, but above all I tried to keep exactly the same message and the teaching that my Teacher, Rev. Inamoto, had given to me in Japan.
NOTE:
♥ Chiara Grandi is the first Italian Komyo Reiki Teacher
♥ Hyakuten Sensei's approval, she founded Komyo Reiki Kai Italia. The aim of this association is to diffuse Komyo Reiki keeping the same Japanese teaching.
