Japanese Reiki Techniques

An opportunity to learn original Reiki techniques, which, until recently, were unavailable in the West.

This course is open to all Reiki Practitioners of any lineage. The content of the course includes material taught at Japanese Level 1 (Sho-den) and Level 2 (Oku-den parts 1 & 2).

Reiki Ryoho is not presented as another new form of Reiki but as the way Reiki was originally, and in many cases still is, taught in Japan, since the time of Mikao Usui. When Usui Reiki Ryoho began to spread throughout the world via Hawayo Takata and her students, several changes were made, possibly a remnant of the anti-Japanese sentiment in America at the time when Takata first brought Reiki Ryoho from Japan. These changes include the story of Mikao Usui, who is transformed into a Christian teacher, who went on to study at the Universities of Doshisha, in Kyoto, Japan, and Chicago - none of which is currently verifiable through research. Although many of the actual techniques of Reiki were passed to the West, such as Reiki Circle, a form of the Blood Exchange, scanning, the distance healing methods and mental/emotional healing, most of the other healing techniques and meditation techniques were not passed on to Takata's students, although there is evidence in Takata's diary that she was aware of at least some of them.

This course is an opportunity to discover the “missing” techniques from the Reiki “toolbox” and provides many ways in which your Reiki practice may be enhanced. These techniques are not intended as a replacement for the way you practise Reiki Ryoho now but provide a selection of extra methods you can use as and when the opportunity arises, safe in the knowledge that what you are doing is still Reiki Ryoho and not one of the many add-ons that have crept into Reiki teachings in the West (and, nowadays, even in Japan!). I also talk about the latest historical research and illustrate this with various rare photographs and other documentary evidence.
