Usui, Hayashi, & Takata

Studying these three people all day.

Usui, meditating on Mt Kurama in probably 1922, came up with the whole reiki deal. He called his practice "The Secret of Happiness."

Chujiro Hayashi was Usui's student, and one day Hawayo Takata came to Hayashi's clinic. She became his patient and then his student. Takata brought the practice back to Hawaii. She shared reiki in practice and teaching for many years. Most practitioners in the USA today come from this lineage.

Thank you to the big 3: Usui, Hayashi, and Takata.
