Following the death of her husband in 1930 and then her sister in 1935, Hawayo Takata decided to go to Japan to visit her parents. During these years she worked many long hours to cover her grief and to provide for her family and as a result, her health began to suffer.
Whilst in Japan she began treatment for her health problems and it was subsequently determined that she would require an operation. Just before her operation she heard the voice of her dead husband, saying that the operation was not necessary and that there was another way. This prompted her to speak with her doctor of alternative treatments and he referred her on to Hayashi's Reiki Clinic. Hawayo Takata received daily treatments at this clinic for a period of four months and during this time her symptoms completely abated.
Hawayo Takata then took Reiki training (Shoden) with Hayashi on December 10th, 1935. She trained with Hayashi for a little over one year. In 1937, Mrs Takata received the second level in Hayashi's system (Okuden). Shortly after this, she returned to Hawaii. A few weeks later, Hayashi visited Mrs. Takata with his daughter and stayed until February 1938. During this time Hayashi Sensei officially made Mrs. Takata a Reiki teacher and bestowed the Shinpiden level upon her.
One should note, that the title 'Reiki Master' was not issued by Hayashi or by Dr. Usui. Nor was Mrs. Takata announced as Hayashi's only successor. On May 1940, Chujiro Hayashi died. Mrs. Takata was Hayashi's 13th attuned teacher of Reiki and it is understood that Hayashi taught over 14 students to the teacher level. It is important to note that both Dr. Usui and Dr. Hayashi both issued Reiki manuals and allowed their students to take notes to record their classes for prosperity's sake. This differs from the modern view held by many teachers of the Takata tradition that Reiki was an oral tradition.
Between 1940 and 1970, Mrs. Takata ran several Reiki clinics and taught many classes in Hawaii. She later retired from teaching until the early 1970's where she began teaching Reiki in the United States. In 1976 she trained her first four students as Reiki teachers, these were: Virginia Samdahl, John Gray, Ethel Lombardi, and Barbara McCullough.
In December of 1979, Mrs. Takata made her transition. She had trained 22 teachers in what she termed as the Usui System of Natural Healing or Usui Shiki Ryoho. At this time Takata's teachers were of the understanding that Mrs. Takata was the only living successor of the Reiki tradition and that all of Usui's and Hayashi's students and teachers had either died prior to or during the Second World War.
It was also understood by these teachers, that what Mrs. Takata had taught them was exactly the same in practice as Hayashi and Usui's Reiki. This was also regarded as being the same in practice as her style. Based on this understanding, the belief in this would strongly influence the way Reiki was taught in America between the late 70's until approximately 1993. Until this time, knowledge of a Japanese style or other separate lineages of Reiki was largely unknown to Western Reiki practitioners.
Although Mrs. Takata's system of Reiki has since been discovered to be significantly different to her predecessors, much gratitude and acknowledgement is recognized. For the merit shared as a result of Takata's actions has had far reaching benefits to humanity and perhaps without her intervention, the system of Reiki may have to this day remained unknown, bar a select few in Japan's sacred Islands.
