Mikao Usui

Mikao Usui Chujiro Hayashi Hawayo Takata

Japan in the 1920s was awash with spiritual Societies and

healing methods. Many of them contained the word Rei (as in

Rei-ki), meaning Spirit. There was Dai Rei Do (a spiritual

group, .Great Spirit Way.) and Rei Shi Jitsu (a healing

method), both started by Morihei Tanaka. There was even a

Rei Ju Society, according to Fumio Ogawa, a member of the

Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai.

In earlier years, Usui is said to have been

involved with a group called Rei Jyutsu Kai

(.Sublime Meeting of Souls.). They met at the

base of Mount Kurama, north of Kyoto, and were

renowned for clairvoyant and psychic development.

Another group devoted to healing and spiritual purification,

with a connection to Usui, would arise in the 1930s,

using an energy called Johrei (.purifying spirit.). This was

begun by a man named Mokichi Okada. In the .20s he belonged

to a spiritual group called Omoto Kyo, which had been started

years earlier by a woman named Nao Deguchi. Her adopted son,

Onisaburo Deguchi (original name, Kisaburo Ueda), became

its leader . and both he and Okada were at some point

students of Usui*. The Johrei method has many parallels to

Reiki and, like Reiki, has spread around the world. Also

like Usui Reiki, it has given birth to many offshoots.

Someone else who created his own spiritual/healing system

was a very close friend and prominent student of Usui,

Toshihiro Eguchi, a school teacher. He learned the deepest

secrets of Usui.s method, and it.s believed that it was he

who taught Hayashi and the other founders of the Usui Gakkai

how to give Reiki empowerments, after the death of Usui. He

also developed his own method of Tenohira Ryoji (.hand healing

.), and was allowed to teach it in Usui.s own .learning

place..
