Jikiden Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is an art of hand healing originated in Japan by Mikao Usui in 1922. The original term for this is Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho or “Usui Reiki Therapy for Improving Body and Mind." Reiki is a non-religious energy healing or natural therapy carried out by placing hands on the body. By doing so, a therapist receives "universal life force" and transmits the energy onto the receiver. This miraculous energy helps clear out toxins in the body, recharging the energy system of the body, therefore awakening the natural healing ability of a person who receives it. Reiki works, not only for physical but also for psychological health. For the past decades, it has been very popular in the World, especially in the Western countries of Europe and the US. It has become recognized as one important effective alternative medicine in some countries.

What is Jikiden Reiki?

In the late 1990s, Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a Japanese lady who learned Reiki from Usui sensei’s direct disciple- Chujiro Hayashi in 1938 came to light. She was initiated to Reiki at age of 17. After that, she practiced Reiki throughout her life until she passed away in 2003. Her being was so precious that a lot of people in Reiki community requested her to teach what she had learned from Hayashi. She started teaching with her son Tadao Yamaguchi in 1999 with the name Jikiden Reiki. ”Jikiden” means “direct teaching" (of Chujiro Hayashi). Now, the activity has been continued by Tadao Yamaguchi. Jikiden Reiki seminars teach original simple yet powerful Japanese Reiki without all the "New Age" influences from the West.
