Chujiro Hayashi

Dr. Chujiro Hayashi was born on September 15, 1879, into a prominent Japanese family. He graduated from the prestigious Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in 1902 and served as a high-ranking naval physician and surgeon during the Russo-Japanese War.

In 1925, seeking more effective, non-invasive methods to treat chronic diseases that failed to respond to conventional surgery and drugs, Dr. Hayashi visited Mikao Usui’s clinic in Tokyo. Astounded by the rapid physical healing he witnessed, Dr. Hayashi resigned his naval commission and dedicated himself entirely to studying under Mikao Usui.

Recognizing Dr. Hayashi’s exceptional medical training and clinical mind, Mikao Usui attuned him to **Shinpiden (Master Teacher)** and tasked him with developing the medical and anatomical applications of Reiki.

Following Mikao Usui’s passing in 1926, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi founded the **Hayashi Reiki Kenkyukai** (Hayashi Energy Healing Research Society) in Shinano-machi, Tokyo. He operated an 8-bed residential hospital clinic where pairs of Reiki practitioners treated bedridden patients 8 to 10 hours daily.

Dr. Hayashi revolutionized Reiki by developing the **12 Standard Anatomical Hand Positions**: - **Positions 1–4 (Head & Brain):** Covering crown, third eye, temples, and occiput to balance cerebral cortex, pituitary gland, and central nervous system. - **Positions 5–8 (Front Visceral Organs):** Covering thyroid, heart/lungs, liver/stomach/gallbladder, and intestines/ovaries/bladder. - **Positions 9–12 (Spine & Back Organs):** Covering upper trapezius, adrenal glands/kidneys, lumbar spine, and sacrum/feet.

He maintained meticulous case logs detailing pre-treatment Western diagnoses, duration of hand placements, bio-field sensations (*Byosen*), and post-treatment blood/urine test results.

In 1935, a young Japanese-American widow from Hawaii named **Hawayo Takata** arrived at Dr. Hayashi’s Tokyo clinic. Suffering from severe abdominal pain, gallstones, acute appendicitis, asthma, and a dangerous abdominal tumor, Takata had been scheduled for major surgery at a Tokyo hospital. However, right before surgery, an inner voice prompted her to seek non-surgical natural treatment.

Dr. Hayashi admitted Takata to his clinic, where two practitioners applied daily 2-hour Hayashi hand placements over her liver, gallbladder, and abdomen. Within four months of continuous treatment, Takata’s gallstones dissolved, her tumor vanished, her asthma cleared, and her vitality was completely restored without a single knife incision.

Deeply impressed by Hawayo Takata’s dedication, Dr. Hayashi trained her through Shoden and Okuden degrees. In 1937, Dr. Hayashi and his daughter traveled to Honolulu, Hawaii, spending several months delivering public lectures, treating patients, and conducting attunements.

In February 1938, Dr. Hayashi officially attuned Hawayo Takata as a **Reiki Master Teacher (Shinpiden)**—making her the first woman and first non-resident of Japan to achieve this rank. This historic act preserved the sacred lineage of Reiki, ensuring its survival when World War II devastated Japan shortly after.

At **FitN Natural Healing & Naturopathy Centers**, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi’s 12 Standard Anatomical Hand Positions form the exact clinical protocol used by our bio-energy therapy team:

1. **Structured 12-Position Hand Sequences:** Inpatients receive systematic 60-minute Reiki treatments covering all 12 Hayashi hand positions to balance endocrine glands and organ systems. 2. **Targeted Organ Byosen Scans:** Practitioners use Hayashi’s *Byosen Reikan-ho* diagnostic sensing to locate micro-energetic heat/tingling blockages over inflamed liver, kidney, or pancreatic tissues. 3. **Integrative Medical Audits:** In keeping with Dr. Hayashi’s medical background, all Reiki sessions are documented alongside patient blood panels, liver function tests, and pain scale logs.
