hi friends
in raising the above topic, i had to think twice, thrice and even more, since i dont have the idea if i would be grossly disrespecting a protocol in-as-much the topic could bring unease to many readers, like it has done to me when i came across it....
here is something i found in some literature :
QUOTE
=====
"The word "reiki" is used often by spiritual therapists during Meiji (1868-1912), Taisho (1912-1925) and early Showa (1926-1988) Era. Many people used the word "reiki ryoho" to refer to their therapies, and "reiki ryoho" is not original with Usui Sensei. The name Usui Sensei used was "Usui Reiki Ryoho."
The first person to use the term "reiki ryoho" was Mataji Kawakami, who was a therapist, who published "Reiki Ryoho to sono Koka" (Reiki Ryoho and its Effects) in 1919. However, today the term "reiki ryoho" almost exclusively refers to "Usui Reiki Ryoho."

i dont know whether the above paragraph holds any factual correctness, but i sure know that we have some very good people on-board like James, Rob, Wayne who could easily dispell (or confirm) the above for the knowledge of readers like me
