Reiki History
Mikao Usui discovered Reiki in March 1922. Mikao Usui was born August 15,1865 in the village of Taniai. There are different stories of how Usui Sensei found Reiki. One of them is that Mikao Usui was in search of achieving a special state of consciousness. He searched this state through Zazen meditation. He found a teacher and practiced for three years. Unsuccessful he searched further. His teacher suggested a practice in which the student must be willing to die in order to achieve the state of consciousness he was seeking.
Mikao Usui misunderstood what his Zen master had said. Prepared for death and went to Kurama yama, a sacred mountain north of Kyoto on February 1922. Usui went up the mountain to fast and meditate until he passed. Time passed and he got weaker and weaker.
On March 1922 and at midnight the twenty-first day of meditating he stood up and a powerful light entered his mind through the top of his head. He fell down unconscious and when he woke up as the sun was rising, he realized he no longer felt weak and near death from fasting. Usui felt energized like never before.
As he ran down the mountain to tell his Zen master. He stubbed his toe on a rock and fell down. He reached down and held it with both hands because it hurt so much. Healing energy began flowing from his hands all by itself and to his amazement his toe was completely healed. He no longer felt pain. In April 1922 he moved to Tokyo and started a teaching and giving Reiki treatments openly to the public.
