Hello and welcome to today's blog, looking at Mikao Usui, asking why did he pursue Reiki?
The purpose of this blog is to find out what was his driving force behind pursuing Reiki and how did he find what was later on called Reiki? Why did he pioneer this healing system, and most importantly, what we can learn from our own journey and spiritual awakening?
Who was Usui
Mikao Usui was born in 1865 and was married with two children, throughout his life he had a number of professions, from being a public servant, reporter, politician's secretary, missionary, and social worker. to name a few. We know that he had his fair share of challenges in his earlier life such as lack of money, no security, and at times he didn't have regular employment, he even experienced bankruptcy.
Usui's studies took him to many areas of exploration gaining knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, numerology, and astrology including working on his psychic and clairvoyant development. He was knowledgeable about medicine, psychology, and the theology of religion around the world, and his training was rooted in Tendai Buddhism and Shintoism.
We know that he pursued Martial Arts from a young age, and was renowned for his expertise in this area developing a sound reputation and the nickname of Sensei, meaning teacher.
So why did Usui pursue Reiki?
Usui's Motivation
He was on his own spiritual journey learning and seeking answers to many questions, one of which was how Jesus could heal to which he studied the Christain scriptures, he also recalled that Buddha healed the sick and had great control of energy, therefore he began reading the sutras, the writings, and teachings of Buddha.
Usui was deeply interested in how he could achieve enlightenment, he asked an abbot how to achieve this state. The abbot responded that there are three ways, he could think of to attain enlightenment, which could be reached through one's own actual death, being alone in meditation, and through trauma, with encouragement from an abbot, he recommended Usui meditate to find these answers from within.
Usui was looking for spiritual insight and self-realization. his purpose in life and despite all his exhaustive research, he hadn't found a way to achieve this state of knowing.
Through perseverance, he took himself off to be alone in meditation to try and find the answers, on one occasion he opened up to Universe Life force energy. He was knocked out then came to and was so happy he excitedly ran down the mountain fast he almost stubbed his small toe, his foot was bleeding he clasped it and noticed an added benefit, he unlocked his healing ability!
He found what he was looking for by connecting to Universal energy, which later on became known as Reiki! Usui gained clarity about his own path and purpose, and why he was here, he was able to unlock his healing potential.
