Gendai Reiki Levels
Certification System of the Original Japanese Usui Reiki

A Gakkai member is awarded Shoden and Okuden depending on their accomplishment and healing ability.

Shoden consists of Sixth to Third Degrees and Okuden consists of First Level and Second Level.

In the Second Level, the trainee has fully mastered Usui Reiki Ryoho and is given a certificate.

Shinpiden Level included special private classes with Usui Sensei to learn spiritual improvement; however, after Usui Sensei’s passing, Shinpiden has become merely a title when Shihan and directors are selected.

The goal of Reiki Ryoho is to reach Anshin Ritsumei.

1 – PATH TO HEALTH

Awards: Shoden and Okuden

Shoden: Sixth to Third Degree

Objectives: Basics of hand-placement treatment

Goals: Treat yourself and people around you

Okuden: First Level, Second Level (distant)

Objectives: Completion of Usui Reiki Ryoho

2 – PATH TO HAPPINESS

Awards: Shinpiden

A special degree to learn Anshin Ritsumei directly from Usui Sensei.

Shihan, associate Shihan, and directors were selected from among Shinpiden.

In Japanese Reiki, it is considered that all illness is caused by resonating with negative energies, which are created because the person is not following the Gokai principles, the remedy for all illness.

A practitioner will also need to focus on self-improvement, not just treating clients.

Usui Sensei taught all Reiki practitioners to study and take the Emperor Meiji’s Gyosei and the Gokai into their hearts to enhance their spirituality, staying away from negative vibrations and energies.

Furthermore, the practitioners must continue their studies and polish themselves by consistently resonating with Reiki to reach Anshin Ritsumei.
