Mikao Usui, a Japanese man who is said to have come up with this technique by initially being intrigued the miracle done by Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ and wanted to know the secret behind their healing power. He was actually interested in knowing the reason for their abundant power, even after hours of work in a day. They didn't seem to lose any energy even after healing so many people in a day. He researched the various aspect of their healing power and after months of research, he finally reached the conclusion that the human body contains abundant energy and by controlling the mind, one can increase the energy available to many levels.

Thus, it began spreading across the globe over a period of time.
