Grow Your Vision

Japanese Reiki Techniques

This workshop presents techniques from the teachings of Hiroshi Doi - member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai and founder of his own Reiki style, Gendai Reiki ho.

These techniques are practiced in the same manner as they are done by members of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (the original Reiki learning society, started by Mikao Usui the founder of Reiki). You will learn techniques for both personal development and for use during your reiki treatment sessions.

Jotaro has been regularly using these techniques in his Reiki practice since 2002. All of these are amazing additions to your already existing Reiki practice that will help you grow as a Reiki practitioner.​

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THIS WORKSHOP

 

Since this workshop contains both theoretical and practical elements, time will be evenly spend in listening to lectures and hands on practice. Participants will also have ample time for discussion and asking of questions. This is a full day of training, starting at 10AM - 6PM. There will be a lunch break around 1pm and regular breaks for using the restroom.

It should be pointed out that this workshop will NOT contain intimate details of Dento Usui Reiki Ryoho such as shirushi (symbols) and NO reiju (commonly called an attunement in Western Reiki) will be given. This workshop does not transmit the lineage of Dento Usui Reiki Ryoho, but is intended to serve as an introduction to traditional concepts and practices that can be added to the participant's already established Reiki practice. This workshop does NOT provide authorization for participants to use the lineage of Jotaro Kashihara or Dento Usui Reiki Ryoho.
