Some Reiki teachers have suggested that Mikao Usui not so much founded Reiki but refound this ancient form of healing. Here are two versions of these theories:

 Reiki is an ancient healing energy, but it had become lost. Usui channeled this lost ancient energy while meditating on Mount Kurama.

 Reiki came from Buddhist texts, and Mikao Usui found these texts in his research.Certainly, Buddhism influenced Mikao Usui’s system. Usui himself was a lay Buddhist priest (which meant he could live with his family) and lived in a country that practiced Buddhism and Shintoism. Development of the symbols was certainly influenced by Buddhism. (See Chapter 8 for more information about the symbols.)

Mikao Usui called his system unique, and thus far no researcher has been able to prove that Usui’s system of natural healing comes from any particular Buddhist text or ancient civilization. Mikao Usui found a way to a universal truth: that healing and enlightenment are possible, and everyone is capable of this healing and enlightenment. Usui developed his system of Reiki precisely because he wanted to share with others what he had found.
