Welcome to the home of the Jikiden Reiki UK Association, an organisation set up to support UK based Jikiden Reiki teachers and students, to give a platform for self-regulation in cooperation with the UK Reiki Council, and to promote both professional standards of practice and the original Reiki teachings from Japan.

Reiki therapy is the art of hands on healing, originating in Japan in 1922 and established by a man named Mikao Usui (臼井甕男1865-1926).

Reiki itself can be described as the universal energy of existence, which flows through all life and matter. It is therefore completely natural and non-invasive, and when Reiki therapy is received from a trained practitioner it can assist in the healing of both body and mind.

Treatment is carried out with the practitioner placing hands directly on the recipient who remains fully dressed throughout the session, normally laying on a treatment couch. In this way the practitioner effectively acts as a conduit for Reiki energy to pass through him or her (in greater abundance?), assisting and boosting the natural healing ability of the recipient’s body
