Jikiden Reiki Kenkyu Kai

Jikiden means 'directly passed down'. In this case, it refers to the lineage from the founder of Reiki, Dr. Usui, to Dr. Hayashi, to Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi and her son Tadao. Together Chiyoko and Tadao Yamaguchi taught Reiki exactly as she received it from Dr. Hayashi when she was 17 years old. It hasn't been to the West until now. Nothing was dropped and nothing was added to the system. To learn, one must agree to not change anything about it, to keep it purely passed down.

It's believed that when Mrs. Takata brought Reiki to the USA, she taught the system as she received it from Dr. Hayashi. After her death, her students got together and standardized and 'westernized', the system, based on their collective memory of her classes. This resulted in what is known as 'Traditional Usui' or 'Western' Reiki. As Western Reiki spread around the world, it acclimated itself to every culture and belief system it met along the way. Reiki needed to do that, in order for everyone to have Reiki!

But now we're blessed that we can learn Jikiden Reiki too ~ the original, simple and pure Reiki system that focuses like a laser beam at particular physical issues, while also healing from the inside out to ensure the root cause is also healed. Dr. Hayashi's method of Reiki emphasized that attitudes and understandings of Reiki were as important as the methods employed for using the energy. The Jikiden system of Reiki honors and promotes and teaches the entirety of the course as taught by Hayashi Sensei.

Shoden training is two full days giving you the knowledge you need to begin healing yourself and others of physical conditions, diseases, and injury. You learn the roots and meaning of relevant Japanese characters and symbols and ideas. You also practice giving and receiving Reiki individually and in a group.

You learn what Reiki is and how it works, and how to use your eyes, hands and breath to heal with Reiki. You expand your ability to heal by learning to scan for Byosen / toxins in the receiver's body; you learn a technique to stimulate blood circulation, good circulation being necessary to move blocks and toxins out of the body. You learn how to practice Reiki alone, and how to increase the sensitivity of your hands. You also learn the first Reiki shirushi (symbol) and how to use it in sessions on yourself and others.

You receive three Reiju over the course of the two days, and a copy of the Official Jikiden Reiki training manual.

At the end of class, you receive:

* A scroll style Japanese Reiki certificate like the one Dr. Hayashi Sensei gave to his students, and
* A second certificate, in English.

Your Japanese certificate is issued and mailed from the Jikiden Reiki Kenkyu Kai office in Kyoto, Japan ~ it's beautiful, absolutely unique, a joy to own and display. Your certificate receives Reiju (Attunement to Jikiden Reiki), so when you hang it, it will radiate and bless your healing room!
