Gendai Reiki incorporates traditional Japanese Reikiho, as taught by Mikao Usui with western techniques. It can be used for self or healing of others.
Gendai Reikho is the system of Reiki that was developed by Hiroshi Doi Sensei.
Hiroshi Doi Sensei, is the president of the Gendai Reiki Healing Association, and a member of the Usui Ryoho Gakkai, the original association formed by Usui Sensei in 1922.
Doi Sensei says,
“Gendai Reikiho is not a new school of Reiki, but a new way to practice Reiki. It does not put forth newly developed techniques or lofty theories,and its objective is not the discussion of Usui Sensei as a person or the history of Reiki Ryoho.
Gendai Reikiho is devoted to Usui Sensei’s spirit. It aims at enjoying Reiki’s benefit by practicing Usui Sensei’s teachings in a simple way, in daily life.
As it is shown in the Five Precepts, Reiki Ryoho is nothing less than a way to health and happiness.”
In the spirit of Usui Sensei, Gendai Reikiho embraces purification, a return to wholeness, of the mind and body. The sense of Oneness, of which we have glimpses, is a taste of this pure state.
The first stage of Reikiho training is hand healing (dento Reikiho).
It have four levels:
- Shoden (Level 1)
- Okuden (Level 2)
- Shinpiden (Level 3 – Master Practitioner)
- Gokuikaiden (Level 4 – Master Teacher)
At each of these levels, students will be offered Attunements, as in the other levels. These Attunements, however, are divinely guided and unique for each individual student. These are defined in Gendai as empowerment techniques. Gendai Reiki, while incorporating several techniques from traditional Reiki, challenges the concepts to move a step further and focus on spiritual methods of healing as well as methods using universal energies. By incorporating these two methods as well as using ancient types of practice, Gendai Reiki is able to help one in understanding several different concepts for healing.
Gendai Reikiho has no religious persuasion.
