You have most likely come to this page because you are not familiar with Reiki.  Or you may simply be curious as to my thoughts on this aspect of Reiki Ryoho. 

Usui Reiki Ryoho, also known as Reiki-ho or Rei-ho, is better known in the West as "Reiki."

Reiki is a Threshold to a higher part of your own existence. With this connection you can allow the flow of very high vibrations of energy through your auric field and into your physical body. This energy works to harmonize, or bring into balance, the total you: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

You can easily learn to give Reiki treatments to yourself, family and friends. It will help create and maintain close bonds, as well as enrich your sense of giving and receiving. The Reiki energy treats and energizes you even while you are treating others. You can start your own Reiki practice. The use of Reiki as a relaxation and stress reducing technique is becoming accepted and widespread; and it can enhance other bodywork techniques.

H.What is Reiki?	My explanation of Usui Reiki Ryoho, with an analogy to help you grasp how it works.  Includes: What is a session like? / What can be helped? / Who can learn Reiki? / Can children learn Reiki? / How does Reiki work? /  An Analogy of Reiki / Am I Already Using Reiki? /Reiki Research
The Reiki Levels  Explained	Reiki is usually taught over several classes, although you are able to make use of it immediately during the first class.  This explains why some schools teach a different number of levels or degrees. Also there are comments on the time between levels, what you should pay, and who is the best teacher for you.
H.Why So Many  Reiki Styles?	How did we end up with so many  versions of Reiki, and how do they differ?
H Activating Your  Own Reiki Energy	are you really just awakening your Highest Ki?

What Do I Teach?	information about all my classes
H Sample Reiki 1 Class	Here is a sample what you can expect to cover in your first Reiki class.  Well, at least my version, as there is no standard method in the Reiki world.  This is usually at the discretion of the teacher, or the style of Reiki they follow.
Finding a Local Reiki  Teacher	Some ideas on locating a Reiki teacher in your own area.
Is Distant / Home Based Training For You?	A bit more detail on what Distant Training involves in order to help you decide if this is a good option for you.
H Do Distant Attunements  Work?	Most schools of Reiki do not cover the concept of distant Reiki attunements since the internet wasn't around in popular form until the mid 1990's.  Since I have been teaching some students this way since 1997 and have received verification over and over, I thought I would share my thoughts on this.

Reiki Healers List	Looking for a local healer?
The Distant Healing  Network	FREE distant healing service. I'm a founding member from 1996.
Disclaimer	A note to remind the reader that you probably shouldn't run right out and drop your reliance on your doctor just because you are now a Reiki practitioner or are receiving Reiki.
Mikao Usui's  Message	Mikao Usui is the originator of Usui Reiki Ryoho and Shihan or Sensei of the dojo where Reiki began.  In 1998 a student workbook used by the original Reiki society reached the West and this is the opening message.
Intensive Reiki  Experience	Experience an on-line Reiki transmission from over 200 Reiki Masters.
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.

. Threshold Reiki  Training . Scheduled Classes . My Calendar	Interested in Distant Training or In Person Classes, or are you just curious as to what you can expect in each of the Reiki levels? You can look at my list of course outlines and fees, and use them to gauge what others are offering.  This gives you someplace to start as you begin to search for a teacher. (I realize I may not be the best or most appropriate teacher for everyone.)
	Make sure you visit the Miscellaneous Topics to find some additional topics that might interest you. Includes information on ME (who I am, and my Reiki training background), as well as some additional notes of interest like the Light Technique.
	Just because you may be new to all this, doesn't mean that you won't find some of the other topics at the Reiki Threshold interesting.  Have a look at some of these if they grab your attention.  I recommend you explore the Usui Memorial, The Usui Gainen, the Saihoji Temple, Reiki in Japan, among others.
