GENDAI REIKI HO
This two-day course for beginners will open the Reiki pathway, by receiving energy transmissions (commonly called attunements) that are performed three times. These energies transmissions will open the channel enabling you to connect to Reiki whenever you need it. In this seminar, you learn the basic theories and healing techniques.

Course Dates
Reiki was originally established as “Usui Reiki Ryoho” (meaning “Usui Reiki Healing Method”) by Mikao Usui in 1922 as “the way to make mind and body healthy on the basis of the Universal Reiki“. This tradition evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication. It is a tradition that is open to any belief system and benefits may include deep relaxation and the promotion of a calm peaceful sense of well-being. Usui Reiki Ryoho has spread worldwide as a complementary therapy for modern medicine. More people are using Reiki to make their lives happier and healthier.
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.
Hiroshi Doi, Sensei (Founder of Gendai Reiki Ho and member of Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai) developed Gendai Reiki Ho to honor Usui Sensei’s wishes that Usui Reiki be shared with the World. Gendai Reiki is taught in four levels, Shoden, Okuden, Shinpiden and Gokuikaiden.
Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, meaning “Usui Reiki Healing Method Learning Society”, is the name of the society of Reiki Masters founded by Mikao Usui. Though many of their teachings still remain secret, Sensei Hiroshi Doi, a member of the Gakkai shares Usui Reiki knowledge with the rest of the world through Gendai Reiki Ho.

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
Applicants with psychic abilities:
Healing often opens people to abilities in intuitive areas, and we often have many applicants who state that they have psychic or mediumistic abilities. We must emphasise the importance of keeping healing separate from psychic or mediumistic readings.
- Connecting psychically to medical problems: it is illegal for the student to tell clients they have sensed something on a medical level.
- Giving readings or messages during healing sessions: this is unacceptable on this Reiki course as the student will not be qualified or insured for this. It is also important to remember that many clients find psychic or mediumistic readings beyond their beliefs and interests.
- Combining mediumistic and psychic readings with healing when qualified: if after accreditation a student wishes to develop their own healing practice combining healing with a psychic or mediumistic reading, they may practise in this way as long as they are fully and appropriately insured and they name the session appropriately, eg Healing with Psychic Reading and explain clearly what this entails to their client before the consultation.
After completing this course you will be able to:
- Take a Gendai Reiki Ho Level II Okuden class after at least 2 months of practice (see the requirements in the Reiki Practitioner Expansion webpage).
- Become an Associate Member of the UK Reiki Federation.
- Become a Practitioner Member of the Gendai Reiki Network.
- Receive ongoing support via online and in-person sessions of the Reiki Practitioner Expansion.
