Reiki, a Japanese healing system, had been developed early in the twentieth century by Mikao Usui, a Buddhist layman. He passed his teachings to several students, among them, Dr Chujiro Hayashi . In the 1930s Hayashi passed his succession to a Ms. Madame Hawayo Takata (1900-1980), a Japanese-American who resided in Hawaii. Takata practiced Reiki quietly in the Japanese-American community until the 1970s, when she began to teach non-Japanese for the first time and made the Anglo world aware of its existence.
