A brief overview of Reiki’s origins and the lineage that carries this practice from Mikao Usui to modern practitioners. This lesson highlights the roles of Usui, Hayashi, and Takata, helping you understand where Reiki comes from and the tradition you are stepping into.

An introduction to Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing.

In this lesson, you’ll learn about Hayashi’s contributions to the practice — including his clinic, his systematic approach to hand positions, and his dedication to preserving the integrity of Reiki. His teachings formed the bridge between Usui and Takata, ensuring that Reiki continued to evolve while remaining rooted in its original essence.
