Jikiden Reiki Training

Jikiden Reiki translates to"direct teachings" and aims to pass Reiki on in its original essence without external Western influences.

It is a school of"Shinshin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho" (Master Usui's original system) and is focused on passing on the teachings as directly taught by: Mikao Usui-Dr Hayashi-Chiyoko Yamaguchi.

 

Jikiden Reiki and Western Reiki both originate from Master Usui's system of Shinshin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho. However the approach and perspectives are fundamentally different and therefore treated as two different systems. Jikiden Reiki offers a grounded, simple yet highly effective method which has continued to bring highly successful results over the last 100 years for both body and mind.

 

This system is ideal for those who would like to learn from a traditional perspective, and for both beginners and experienced practitioners who are interested to expand their knowledge.​ All practitioners are required to start from Shoden level. There are no special pre requisites to learn Jikiden Reiki and is open to all that wish to learn. However we recommend all potential students to first experience a treatment with us to gain a better understanding of the system before committing to learn. If you have trained with another registered Jikiden teacher, you are welcome to repeat Shoden training with us or join any of our community events or shares.

All Reiki trainings are taught in person ONLY

All Reiki training courses and additional skills are accredited by the Jikiden Reiki Institute, Japan.

Teacher Lineage

Jikiden Reiki aims to pass on Reiki as it was originally taught and practiced in Japan by Usui Sensei and Dr Hayashi. Chiyoko Yamaguchi was a direct student of Dr Hayashi. She and her family contributed greatly to the spreading of Reiki in their hometown of Ishikawa. Her son Tadao Yamaguchi follows in his mothers footsteps to continue to share these authentic teachings worldwide. For more history details click here.
