This is a dumb one, but I've watched ASMR reiki videos for stress-relief and at least one has said words like "Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique which blah blab blah" Yeah... It was made up in the
50's1910s by some dude.-
If reiki(dot)org, which claims to be the international center for this malarkey training is true, they apparently say some different forms of it were around in the 1910s, but I saw absolutely nothing about it being ancient.

Why did you spell that with a "(dot)" and then include an actual link? The reason people use (dot) or (at) is when they don't want software to automatically see something as a link or an email address, and yet you intentionally added a link.

Because I am an idiot on some form of autopilot. I never type full links in comments but I definitely wasn't thinking when I did that this time.

It was to protect the ancient secrets of reiki from intrusion.

Yeah, it looks like you're right. Not sure what I read years ago. This is what Wikipedia says:
Mikao Usui originated the practice in Japan. According to the inscription on his memorial stone, Usui taught his system of reiki to more than 2,000 people during his lifetime. While teaching reiki in Fukuyama, Usui suffered a stroke and died on 9 March 1926.
So, apparently before 1926. Still, really far away from "ancient".
