THE JIKIDEN REIKI TRAINING

There are many Reiki courses offered with various content and at a wide range of prices. For someone interested in Reiki, it can be challenging to find a suitable Reiki school from the vast number of options. To bring some clarity, I am providing the following facts about Jikiden Reiki® training:

Jikiden Reiki is the unaltered, traditional Japanese Reiki, without any Western influences.

The term “Jikiden” 直傳 is often used in traditional Japanese arts. It means “directly transmitted” or “direct teaching.” Jikiden Reiki® 直傳靈氣® refers to the original, unchanged Japanese Reiki teachings.

Tadao Yamaguchi Sensei holds the trademark Jikiden Reiki® 直傳靈氣®, which is internationally registered and protected.

Chiyoko Yamaguchi Sensei learned the Reiki treatment method directly from Chujiro Hayashi Sensei. Together with her son, she founded the “Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai” institute and passed on her knowledge unchanged, as she and her siblings and relatives had learned it from Hayashi Sensei. Today, her son, Tadao Yamaguchi Sensei, continues to lead this institute and regularly offers courses.

Jikiden Reiki is not mixed with other treatment methods, preserving its original focus and power.

The Jikiden Reiki treatment method is taught exclusively by teachers (Shihan) authorized by the “Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai” institute in Kyoto, Japan. The course content is strictly defined, and students receive the original course manual and certificate from the Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai institute.

JIKIDEN REIKI: TRAINING LEVELS

  • Shoden = Beginner
  • Okuden = Advanced
  • Shihan Kaku = Assistant Teacher
  • Shihan = Teacher
  • Dai Shihan = Senior Teacher (This title is awarded only by Tadao Yamaguchi Sensei)

 

JIKIDEN REIKI: COURSES FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATION

  • Shoden: 2-day course – Jikiden Reiki for physical symptoms
  • Okuden: 2-day course – Jikiden Reiki for mental issues and distance healing

The Jikiden Reiki Shoden and Okuden courses are suitable for treating family members and friends, as well as for self-treatment. The course is also ideal as foundational training for beginners looking to become Jikiden Reiki therapists or as personal development.

Note: The course names Jikiden Reiki Shoden and Okuden are traditional terms used only in Jikiden Reiki. The terms Reiki Levels 1, 2, and 3 are Western Reiki designations, and their content is not comparable to the Jikiden Reiki treatment method.

The Shoden and Okuden courses cover the full training required for the practical application of the Jikiden Reiki treatment method. No further courses are necessary. However, courses can be repeated at a reduced cost if desired.

 

WHAT IS NOT ALLOWED IN JIKIDEN REIKI?

  • No online courses are offered
  • The original symbols (Shirushi) are treated with respect and not posted on the internet
  • No images of Usui Sensei, Hayashi Sensei, or Yamaguchi Sensei are posted on the internet
  • No images of the original Japanese certificates with calligraphy
  • No images of the calligraphy scroll

 

JIKIDEN REIKI: TRAINING TO BECOME A JIKIDEN REIKI TEACHER

The Jikiden Reiki teacher training takes about 2-4 years, depending on time commitment.

The Jikiden teacher training can be completed with a Dai Shihan authorized to do so or directly with Tadao Yamaguchi Sensei.

To take the Shihan Kaku (Assistant Teacher) course, extensive practical experience, several case studies, and written work must first be submitted to the institute in Japan.

  • Repeat the 2-day Shoden course
  • Repeat the 2-day Okuden course
  • Complete the 1.5-day Shihan Kaku course

After completing the Shihan Kaku course, additional work must be submitted to Japan. Only after review and approval by the institute will one be authorized to offer Shoden courses.

To take the Shihan (Teacher) course, teaching experience and additional written work must be submitted to the institute in Japan.

  • Repeat the 2-day Shoden course
  • Repeat the 2-day Okuden course
  • Repeat the 1.5-day Shihan Kaku course
  • Complete the 1-2 day Shihan course

Nach dem Shihan-Kurs müssen weitere Arbeiten nach Japan einreicht werden. Erst nach der Überprüfung und Einverständnis des Institutes wird man autorisiert Kurse in Okuden anzubieten.
Additionally, the Japanese scroll with Hayashi Sensei’s calligraphy will be presented. Possession of this scroll is a sign that the teacher has received official teaching authorization from the Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai. The scroll is hung in the classroom and treated with respect. During the Jikiden Reiki course, the meaning and significance of the scroll are explained to the participants in detail.
