Class Descriptions

(Gendai Ho and Komyo Reiki Do each have their own class and manuals).  Students can choose to study their preferred system or both systems in separate classes. I teach these Reiki systems as stand alone classes. 


Introduction and Level One: 

Three days of in-person teaching and practice.  Class includes (20 hrs).  Post class practice is required as prerequisites for the next level.

  • History of Usui Reiki Ryoho to present systems (Gendai Ho or Komyo Reiki Do)
  • Gokai (Reiki Principles and Precepts). Introduction to their role and wisdom in spiritual development
  • Level One attunement
  • Techniques and meditations to improve spirit-body health and peacefulness
  • Hands on self healing
  • Hands on healing for others (safely and respectfully) — emphasis is on surrender and allowing flow
  • Spiritual teachings and philosophy that guide our life and uplift our vibrations
  • Hands on healing or developing healing presence for animals
  • Class discussions in a personalized small group to develop understanding, receive step by step guidance and space to share grounded and heart awakening experiences
  • The opportunity to connect with like-hearts
  • Post class practice and development activities

“The path of Reiki attunement and healing takes us on a journey deeper into our hearts,  towards the true nature of our spiritual mission in life and the gift of sharing this healing vibration with others. It’s a path that evokes gratitude and joy.” 

—Shirley Lynn Martin

“Live in joy, in love,
Even among those who hate.
Live in joy, in health,
Even among the afflicted.
Live in joy, in peace,
Even among the troubled.

Look within, be still,
Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of the way.”

(The Buddha)

Level Four (Goikukaiden) 

Shihan Candidacy and Certificate 

18 hours minimum
This level includes in person training to become a Shihan (teacher)—a readiness must be discerned by both student and Shihan (me).

Prerequisites include all other levels with me and participating in Reiki community.

Post class requirements as determined by Shihan.  

The student must attend all levels again with me (Gendai Ho and Komyo Reiki Do)

 OR  (Komyo Reiki Do only)

Attend a Training with Inamoto Hyakuten Sensei conducted over 4 days. Fees to  be determined by the host and agreed to by Inamoto Sensei.

The title of Reiki Master/Teacher awarded at this level does not imply that Reiki mastery has been achieved. Reiki masters are simply students who feel called to teach and who continue to learn through teaching. True mastery is the result of a life committed to practice and active engagement in life with Reiki.

The ideals of this Reiki Master/Teacher practice become the work of a lifetime:

“Go forth into the world
for the good of the many, for the happiness of the many,
with compassion for the world;
reveal the spiritual life, complete and pure in spirit and in form.”

(The Buddha)
