What is Reiki? Reiki is a generic term for a Usui System of Natural Healing. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. This energy is the natural, vital healing force found in all life. The Japanese Jikiden Reiki Kenkyu Kai (Jikiden Reiki Institute) or  Usui Reiki Ryoho method of Reiki is an integrated  hands on and distant healing practice that attunes and develops natural latent human healing energy and balance body, mind, heart and spirit in a structured way through light, gentle, non-intrusive touch and compassionate intention and regard.  Reiki is easy to learn, easy to use, centering and calming. Reiki is not a religion, but a healing meditation with gokai or ethical principles and both a history and a  present. While every person is an individual and each person's response to Reiki is unique, at the end of a Reiki treatment most people relate that they feel both relaxed and energized at the same time -- like after a good massage. But unlike a massage the body is not manipulated and no oils, creams, or lotions or removal of clothing is necessary.  

Jikiden Reiki stands for Reiki teachings from an original authentic Japanese lineage. This lineage goes from Mikao Usui to Dr. Chujiro Hayashi to Chiyoko Yamaguchi (who started learning Reiki from Dr. Hayashi in 1938 when she was 17 years old) and her uncle Wasaburo Sugano to Tadao Yamaguchi, with whom I took my Jikiden training  in 2009 and 2010.  Because Jikiden Reiki was not passed down through Mrs. Takata and her masters it lacks the Westernization of Reiki as it is currently taught in the West. Jikiden Reiki allows you to experience a Japanese form of Reiki in its original beauty and simplicity.

All Jikiden seminars follow exactly the same format so that Jikiden Reiki is always passed on in its original, simple form. Jikiden Reiki Shoden and Okuden seminars give you all you need to know in order to treat yourself and others with Jikiden Reiki.
