What Training Do I Need to Be a Professional Reiki Practitioner?
This article is for those looking to take Reiki training with the intention of working professionally with the public, delivering Reiki treatments in the UK. The general requirements in the UK are to have completed Reiki training courses to a practitioner level, in Jikiden Reiki, which would be completing both the Shoden (beginner level) and Okuden (deeper level). In Western approaches to Reiki, this will be to complete both Reiki levels 1 and 2.

Accredited Reiki Courses in the UK
Many look to Accredited Reiki courses as a sign of quality and authenticity of the Reiki training. Accreditation is not a good indication of training accuracy or authenticity at all. It is more a standard Reiki course with an ongoing element of vocational study over a period of months to demonstrate experience and base competency to work in professional settings. Read more to understand this misunderstood topic.
Jikiden Reiki® and Western Reiki, What are the Differences?
I have written this article primarily to help those new to Reiki who are looking for Reiki training courses and want to make sense of the options out there, who have come across Jikiden Reiki as well as other approaches to Reiki and wish to better understand the differences, to help them to make an informed decision as to their direction in Reiki training courses.
Are Online Reiki Courses A Good Idea?
Putting what is taught aside, the main problem that jumps out at me as a Reiki teacher is that is serious an issue enough to instantly rule them out is The act of performing Reiju - the clearing process a teacher performs with each student to facilitate them to be able to channel Reiki energy through their hands is only performed in person. It was created that way and always has been and would be performed the way it was created, there is no remote method for it.
What is Reiki Lineage?
This article is written with a range of readers in mind, primarily for my own Jikiden Reiki students, but also with those looking for Reiki training courses, and existing Reiki practitioners and teachers of other approaches to Reiki in mind. Misunderstandings around lineage are commonplace in the Reiki world, both in the UK and internationally. So, what is a Reiki lineage?
Better to Attend Both Jikiden Reiki Courses Together or do them Seperately?
This question comes up quite regularly, when people look to attend Reiki training. In short either way is fine to do. In Jikiden Reiki things are set up for students to attend both levels together- to learn the whole system of Reiki at one time, rather than do it in bits. I have my views on it and will expand on this question with the aim to better help you decide what is best for you.

Reiki Training Levels Explained
This article is primarily for those looking into Reiki and are looking to understand the levels of training, or titles people use within Reiki. The first level of Reiki training is Shoden, which means beginner level. This level is commonly termed as level 1 in western approaches to Reiki, which are more common, so you will more likely come across the term Level 1 than Shoden, when looking into Reiki.
Is There Such A Thing As ‘Styles’ of Reiki?
The idea of this article topic has come from a recent conversation I had with a Reiki student, however, it is a conversation that I have on a regular basis with those with an interest in Reiki, or are looking to Reiki to help them in some way. In this example, the conversation topic was after this person took Jikiden Reiki training and was trying to get their head around what they should now call their previous healing therapy that had the word Reiki in its title, yet they now realized what they were previously taught actually bears little resemblance to Reiki.
What is Jikiden Reiki®?

My aim is to provide an insight into Jikiden Reiki, as well as highlight some of its characteristics.

The Importance of Viewing Reiki as an Ongoing Practice
This article topic has come from a conversation I had with a Reiki student who regularly attends the monthly events I hold to support the study and practice of Reiki for the students of Reiki I teach. Their view was that attending the regular events provided superb value and helped them greatly with their study and development with Reiki and they couldn’t understand why every student who has taken Reiki training courses does not attend such events to help their study and practice of Reiki.
The Potential of Reiki to Support Health
Reiki is used quite extensively in hospitals in the USA due to it being more established and more widely accepted there than in the UK at this time. Applications include specific post-surgery recovery, to generally speed up recovery and reduce the time patients need to stay in hospital. The value of Reiki is increasingly being recognized for applications such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

Using Reiki for Relaxation
A common reason many people try a Reiki treatment in the first place is to help them relax. In my experience, in addition to the many other ways Reiki can help people, increased relaxation is the most immediate effect of a course of Reiki treatments. Indeed, an improvement in relaxation is commonly experienced from the first Reiki treatment, usually experienced during the actual Reiki treatment itself.
Why Repeating Reiki Training Could Be A Good Idea
This article highlights the benefits of ongoing practice and training to deepen your study of Reiki after the formal Reik training courses and how this way of thinking was part of Reiki practice. In this article, I will focus on another option that is available to Jikiden Reiki trained students in addition to regular Reiju meetings with a workshop element or Reiki shares. That being repeating your formal Reiki training courses.
