GENDAI REIKI HO
The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century. Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, meaning “Usui Reiki Healing Method Learning Society”, is the name of the society of Reiki Masters founded by Mikao Usui.
Gendai Reiki Ho is not a new Reiki system. It can be referred to as “original Japanese Usui Reiki Ryoho in the Gendai Reiki style,” as it allows people in modern society to learn and practice the original Japanese Usui Reiki Ryoho easily and comfortably.
Certification levels of Gendai Reiki Ho:
- Level I – Shoden (Reiki 1)
- Level II – Okuden (Reiki 2)
- Level III – Shinpiden (Reiki 3)
- Level IV – Gokuikaiden (Master)
This is a 3-day training course for Reiki Masters who wish to become teachers. You learn to perform the attunement and to instruct in the usage of Reiki-ho for the people who want to learn it.
Gendai Reiki Ho Gokuikaiden seminars are offered in person only.
The course covers these topics:
Level IV is the last step in learning Reiki-ho and you take the integrated Attunement with all four symbols.
You learn how to teach correctly and spread Reiki-ho to many people. It is a training for Reiki instructors rather than extra steps for learners.
Those who have completed this course with their ability approved are called Reiki Masters or Reiki teachers.
All who want to become Reiki Masters learn not only the attunement techniques or Reiki usages. It is also necessary to understand Usui Sensei’s spirit as the founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho and the ultimate usage of Reiki-ho so that you can convey it in the right way.
You will learn
- The theory and practice of the attunement
- How to behave and live life as a Reiki Master (teacher)
- The understanding and usage of the symbols and the Kotodamas
- What to teach in every level
- Preparation for a Reiki seminar
- The Giho of Dento Reiki
- Reiju (Japanese attunement)
- The Integrated attunement with all four symbols for a new Reiki Master

Other lineages
For most Japanese Gendai Reiki Masters in Japan, changing the Master is a big deal. A person who has learned Reiki from another lineage, even if that person is already a Master, must start with Level I Shoden if they want to learn Gendai Reiki. Gendai Reiki adheres to the philosophy and pure energy line of Usui Sensei. If students are taught from the middle level, they will lack the energy transmission and theories of the levels that were not taught.
