Simply put, attending a seminar and learning Jikiden Reiki is just the star of your Reiki journey. Like many endeavors, learning is the first step. To get good at something, it is necessary to practice what you learned in the seminar. I like to say that "Reiki, is a 'doing thing'." As practitioners of Reiki, we can gain confidence in our skills and deepen our understanding of the teachings through practice.

 

In traditional arts, a teacher's job is not to just teach a class and send the students off into the world to fend for themselves. A teacher should support their students, even after the original training. In Jikiden Reiki, we call this Reijukai. This is a special post-seminar support and practice meeting for students of Jikiden Reiki to come together, ask questions, listen to the experiences of their fellow practitioners and to be kept up to date with any news from the Jikiden Reiki Institute. Reijukai participants also have the opportunity to receive reiju (a.k.a. attunements) once again.​

​

As a shihan in Jikiden Reiki, I offer two opportunities for reiki practice. I offer reijukai (reiju meeting) and koryukai (reiki share meeting). At Reiki with Jotaro, I offer both of these together as a single combined event.
