Certified Jikiden Reiki Teachers (Shihan & Shihan Kaku) Training Information

Let The Journey Begin!

Further study in Jikiden Reiki

Shoden and Okuden seminars will give you all you need to know in order to treat yourself and others with Jikiden Reiki. However, if you wish to go on to teach others how to use this wonderful gift we all have, you may want to become a teacher.

Students wishing to teach Jikiden Reiki seminars must know the contents of the seminars very well and be able to recite the gokai in Japanese.  If you intend to take the Shihan Kaku course,it is recommended that you attend several seminars as well as fulfilling the requirements below, so that you feel confident in teaching the material involved. Students are expected to prepare well to maintain the high standard of Jikiden Reiki teachers.

There are two teacher levels in Jikiden Reiki. A Shihan Kaku (assistant teacher) can teach Shoden level seminars. After a period of experience teaching Shoden, assistant teachers can become Jikiden Reiki Shihan (teacher) and may then teach both Shoden and Okuden level seminars.
