In 1922 Mikao Usui went for a spiritual pilgrimage to Mount Kurama, which is near Kyoto, Japan. Usui fasted and meditated for 21 days while he was on this retreat from the world. He sought a spiritual experience of enlightenment, total awareness, and deep peace.

Usui received the profound experience he was seeking along with the system of Reiki. He found that along with his spiritual awakening, he had the ability to heal himself and others.

Usui was a great healer and was reported to have helped many victims of the 1923 earthquake in Japan, which hit the cities of Tokyo and Yokohama.
