Usui Reiki Ryoho

Reiki is a spiritual practice of channeling spiritual energy from a never-ending Universal source that brings about healing. So Reiki can be loosely defined as being spiritual energy and the word Ryoho stands for therapy, remedy, and healing, curing method. This name is the original name given to Reiki by Mikao Usui. It is also called Usui Reiki Ryoho, Reiki Ryoho or even shortened to Reiho. The story goes that Usui achieved enlightenment (satori) on the mountain Kurama Yama and he went on to use his wisdom to develop a form of healing and path for spiritual growth that was Reiki.

Reiki as an art has always been passed on through the ages in the form of oral tradition from teacher to student that includes initiation and teachings to be able to receive and transmit the spiritual universal energy, share love and compassion to bring about healing and harmony.

Usui Reiki Ryoho is taught at 3 levels:

• The beginning level is called Shoden which teaches the student to access the Universal energy for themselves as a method of self-healing.
• The second level is the level of Attunement called Okuden which increases the power and versatility and is for directing the flow of that energy and healing others. Here the initiate is introduced to three of the four sacred symbols of Reiki namely Cho Ku Ray, Sei He Ki and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen.
• Shinpiden is the teacher level and it empowers the initiate with the knowledge of the fourth symbol of Reiki called Dai Ko Myo and the student now can initiate others to the practice of this healing tradition called Reiki.


In Dr. Usui Sensei’s words, “Reiki Ryoho is a spiritual healing technique and an energy healing technique”. This spiritual healing takes place when one’s energies are in perfect tune with the Universal Consciousness which brings about wellness and relief from pain and disturbances in the energies of the mind, body and spirit. Reiki Ryoho is an expression of Universal Love, a form of love that is Universal and Unconditional Love expands over all life and attunes with Divine Love. Reiki Ryoho also raises the vibrations of the mind, body and spirit to perfectly resonate in sync with the vibrations of the Divine thus promoting Harmony and Peace not just on a personal level but also to all whose lives come in contact with ours and in effect manifests on a global level. It is a self-help natural technique that can be safely used and can be synchronized with any other form of healing that brings about personal growth and transformation on all levels.

An important thing to note that Usui Reiki Ryoho can’t be taught by everybody, there are many Reiki schools but Usui Reiki Ryoho is a specialized branch that requires specialized training in order to teach it. Lastly, Dr. Usui used the following words to sum up the principles of Reiki: “Just for today, do not worry. Just for today, do not anger. Honor your parents, teachers and elders. Earn your living honestly. Show gratitude to every living thing.”
