......On
the mountain, he set out twenty-one stones in front of him and each
day he threw away a stone. On the twenty first day, after tossing
away the last stone and still not having received the healing power,
he stood up. It was night, the darkest part of the night, just before
dawn.
As he looked out toward the horizon wondering what to do next, he
saw a point of light coming toward him. As he looked at the light,
he realized that the light had consciousness and that it was communicating
with him. He realized the light had the healing power he was looking
for and if he was to receive what the light had to offer, he must
allow the light to strike him. However, he was told that the light
was so powerful that if it did strike him, it might kill him. |

He
was given the opportunity to decide. Would he risk death to obtain
the healing ability for which he had searched so long? He decided
the ability to heal the sick would be of such great value that it
would be worth risking death to receive it.
The beam struck him in the forehead, knocking him unconscious. Rising
out of his physical body, he was shown beautiful bubbles of light
filled with colors. In the bubbles were symbols. As he contemplated
each symbol, he received an attunement for that symbol and knowledge
on its use. In this way, he was initiated into the use of the Reiki
healing power.
Dr. Usui practiced and taught Reiki throughout Japan for the remainder
of his life. Before his transition around 1930, he gave the Master
attunement to sixteen teachers one of whom was Dr. Chujiro Hayashi.
