• During a trip to Japan in 1935, Mrs. Takata came to Dr Hayashi's clinic suffering from a number of serious medical conditions that were resolved through Reiki, for which she had originally intended to receive conventional Western medical treatments for.

• Mrs. Takata was quite skeptical about Reiki, but her skepticism turned into belief as her health problems resolved and she decided that she wanted to learn Reiki for herself.

• Mrs. Takata brought Reiki to the west. She initiated twenty-two Reiki Masters
