The Gendai Reiki Ho Level IV Gokuikaiden (Master) training will allow anyone to pass the ability to channel Reiki on to others and to teach Reiki courses if one chooses, however many students take this course for their own use or to use with family and friends.

Being a Reiki Master is of course more than just two days of training, it is the work of a lifetime, rather than just the attainment of a title. The title of being a Reiki Master is more indicative of the fact that the student has now made a commitment to bring Reiki into the world and that they are ready to try and integrate Reiki into more (or all) aspects of their life.

The joys of becoming a Reiki Master are many and students do not necessarily have to teach for the Master training to be useful. The additional healing energy, techniques, and knowledge will add value to your healing abilities.

Self-treatments, using healing attunements, treating others in person, and at a distance will all be noticeably improved. One can pass Reiki onto friends and family, and many take the Master training with just this in mind, however if you ever decide to formally teach, you will be able to do so.

 

In this in-person course, you will learn:

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.

  • 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
  • How to give Level I Shoden attunments
  • How to give Level II Okuden attunments
  • How to give Level III Shinpiden attunments
  • How to give Level IV Gokuikaiden attunements
  • Teaching Japanese techniques
  • Structuring a Gendai Reiki seminar
  • Purchasing the official manuals
  • The Giho of Dento Reiki
  • Reiju (Japanese attunement)
  • The Integrated attunement with all four symbols for a new Reiki Master

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.

Lineage

The significance of the lineage is far more than just the information about the parts of the genealogical tree. The lineage is a transpersonal pool of power that we can call upon to help us and tap into whenever we decide or want to.

The deeper meaning of lineage transcends time and space. It is a profound energetic connection, not just to the people in one’s own Reiki lineage, but to all the teachers and practitioners of all lineages, past present and future.

This below is my own Gendai Reiki lineage:

  • Usui Mikao (founder of the system)
  • Kanichi Taketomi (3rd President of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai)
  • Kimiko Koyama (6th President of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai)
  • Doi Hiroshi (current member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai)
  • Giancarlo Serra

International Accreditation

This Gendai Reiki Level IV Gokuikaiden training has been verified and approved against the current recommended training standards for Professional Reiki Training as specified by the Gendai Reiki Healing Association.

 

Membership of Other Reiki Organisations

After completing your Level IV training, you will be eligible for membership with the Gendai Reiki Healing Association, the UK Reiki Federation, The Reiki Association, The Reiki-Guild, and other UK-based Reiki organisations.

 

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.
