Jikiden Reiki
Jikiden Reiki
stands for Reiki teachings from an original authentic
Japanese lineage. This lineage goes from Usui sensei to
Dr. Hayashi to Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi (who started
learning Reiki from him in 1938 when she was 17 years
old) to her son Tadao, with whom I took my training in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada last fall. Because Jikiden Reiki was
not passed down through Mrs. Takata 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 seminars will
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. When asked which version of Reiki is
better Western Usui Reiki or Jikiden Reiki, I always
recommend both.
Reiju in Jikiden Reiki
Chiyoko Yamaguchi’s first Reiki seminar included Reiju (commonly
known as attunements or initiations in the West) from Dr Hayashi
and others that had achieved the Shihan or master's level. It is
not uncommon in Jikiden Reiki for students to receive
attunements from more than one person. Jikiden Reiki
practitioners are encouraged to receive Reiju as often as
possible, and the more people that we can get to help with Reiju
in our seminars the better for everyone involved! Personally, I
also prefer not to think of Reiju as an "empowerment" or an
"attunement" since I feel that these words do not accurately
convey the Japanese meaning of Reiju. It is one of those words
that we cannot describe very well because it is a concept that
is quite foreign to the West, and therefore has no roots in our
Western languages. Rather than try to translate Reiju, I feel it
is more appropriate to simply call it "Reiju". Jikiden Reiju are scheduled each
month. This is a great opportunity to receive Reiju to
tune up your Reiki hands and keep your energy "pipe" clean! The fee for Reiju is $25.

If after completing
Jikiden Reiki Shoden and Okuden, you wish to go on to
teach others how to use this wonderful gift we all have,
you may want to become a teacher.
Students wishing to teach Jikiden Reiki seminars must
know the contents of the seminars very well and be able
to recite the Gokai (The five Reiki Principles) in
Japanese. If you intend to take the Shihan Kaku course,
it is recommended that you attend several seminars as
well as fulfilling the requirements below, so that you
feel confident in teaching the material involved.
Students are expected to prepare well to maintain the
high standard of Jikiden Reiki teachers.
There are two teacher levels in Jikiden Reiki. A Shihan
Kaku (assistant teacher) can teach Shoden level
seminars. After a period of experience teaching Shoden,
assistant teachers can become Jikiden Reiki Shihan
(teacher) and may then teach both Shoden and Okuden
level seminars. |
