H Threshold Reiki 
First Degree
Shoden Manual
Now you can read about a Reiki class before you attend one. Or you can use this free manual to add to your own Reiki knowledge and support.  This version is only the first section from the Threshold Reiki 1 manual, but it is more suitable to most Reiki classes.  It doesn't include some additional topics I teach in my own Reiki 1 class such as Distant Reiki and The Light Technique, but you can find these elsewhere on my site.
H.Energy Assistance
.
Can other energy workers assist you? If so, how much better than your own ability to manifest?
H Energy Influences

H.Handling Distractions 
.
Managing those negative times with enjoyable, positive, "power" daydreaming.

Reiki Energy
Aren't you really just awakening your own Highest Ki?  Where is the lineage to Usui?

With Reiki
Effecting change in your everyday life
H Reiki Origins-
Teno Hira Ryoji
An early Reiki-like system taught by an Usui senior student
H Exploring Variations

H.Why So Many 
Reiki Styles?
Why all those versions of Reiki?  Where did they come from?  Who made these changes and is his normal for Reiki?
H.The Usui Dojo The original Reiki training hall and some of the Shinto ceremony observed within.
Reiki Facts Just a sample of some of the information that I have discovered recently about the history of Reiki.  I usually make more details of this info available to my own students first via my Class Pages, but I do like to share with the Reiki community in general.
H.The History of 
Reiki Re-Opens
A look at the first article I wrote on Reiki in Japan back in 1996. It is based on material that appeared in the first modern day book on Reiki published in Japanese. 
H.1986 Japanese 
Article
This is a translation of a magazine article on Reiki that appeared in Japan in 1986. I placed this up on the web in 1997 and it was the first I had heard of the Saihoji temple and Usui Memorial.
H.1928 Mainichi 
Article
This 1928 newspaper article was translated in 2001 by one of my Japanese contacts. It contains the experiences and thoughts on Reiki by a famous Japanese playwright of the time who learned from Dr. Hayashi.
H.The Art of 
Healing
This is an excerpt from one of Takata-sensei's diaries. She talks about Reiki and the contents of the first 2 levels of training.
H.The Usui 
Gainen
This article was a result of a July 1996 translation of the original Usui Precepts done at my dining room table. It was the first time we had seen Usui Sensei's actual handwriting. It has been updated with an improved interpretation provided by one of Usui students who was still alive in 2004.
H.The Reiki Ryoho Hikkei I heard about the original class booklet attributed to Usui Sensei's in 1997, and in 1999 I received a copy in time to translate for the 1999 URRI Workshop here in Vancouver. The booklet has been a standard part of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai's training.  You can download the Japanese and English version from here. Also there is access to other language versions as I receive them.
H.Dr. Hayashi's
Healing Guide
I received a translated version of this table in my Reiki 1 class in 1992, and was given the Japanese version in 1997, not realising at the time what it was. The table matches closely the Usui Reiki Ryoho Healing Guide from the Hikkei above.
Reiki in Japan An article talking about the state of Reiki in Japan.  It is current as of summer 2000, but needs some updates based on my Nov. 2000 Japan trip.
*.Usui Reiju Gift Here is a sample of what a Distant Reiki attunement feels like. And yes, this page will connect you to Reiki, just as in a live class. 
*.Weekly Reiju
Receive A Japanese Reiju
In the URR Gakkai, members receive Reiju each week during their meetings so as to gradually increase their Reiki energy.  This page will also connect you to Reiki energy.
H.Taniai Village A pictorial account of my visit to Usui Sensei's home village in November, 2000.
H.The Saihoji 
Temple 
I began placing pictures of the Usui Memorial and Usui family grave site (in Tokyo) here in 1997, just after I received pictures.  Now that I visited the temple and graveyard, I will soon add several more, including a map to the location. 
Directions to 
Saihoji Temple
If you happen to be visiting Tokyo and would like to pay your respects to Usui Sensei, here are directions to the temple and grave site from downtown Tokyo. Also on the site is the Usui memorial.
H.Translation of 
the Usui Memorial
In 1998 one of my students took some close-up pictures of the complete Usui Memorial - this is the literal translation another friend helped me put together.  It is literal so that you can decide what the author (Ushida-sensei) was trying to say.
H.Usui Reiki 
Ryoho Gakkai
Some information on the original Japanese Reiki society still in existence, it's leaders and other students of Usui Sensei. Now includes a translation from a Japanese book on some of the important past members of the Gakkai.
H.Paired Healing This is a method of healing requiring 2 practitioners that is taught in Hiroshi Doi's Gendai Reiki Ho school and was shared at the 1999 URRI workshop in Vancouver.
H.Usui Reiki Ryoho
- the Original Meaning
One day while working with the Usui Affirmations I suddenly realised that they were the original reference for the term "Usui Reiki Ryoho." 
H.Origin of the 
Term "Reiki"
This is an article presented by Dave King at URRI 2003.  It explains the original meaning of the term "Reiki" from the Chinese characters and into Japanese kanji.
H.Reiki and 
Highest Ki
A different look at the concept of Reiki energy, and why other energies keep popping up with similar characteristics, but with a different feel to them.  An idea for discovering your own potential.

Comments
My thoughts on the use of Distant Reiki by a Reiki 1 practitioner, as well as the use (or non-use) of the symbol.
Usui Reiki Ryoho 
International
At the 1999 Workshop in Vancouver, I suggested we from an informal society, Usui Reiki Ryoho International, for the collection of original Japanese Reiki history and methods.  This was further promoted in Japan at the URRI 2000 conference, Nov. 2000, by Doi-sensei
