*etho" to achie!e a miracle *t is belie#ed that the aim of &sui+s teahings was to pro#ide a method for students to ahie#e a mirale! What sets &sui+s teahings apart from other handson healing methods is his use of rei$u or attunement to remind students of their spiritual onnetion! *t seems that all students of &sui reei#ed - preepts and those with a further interest in the teahings beame dediated students! There does not appear to ha#e been a distintion between lients and students in the beginning though this may ha#e hanged at some point! .eople began oming to &sui )ikao possibly for different purposes / some for healing and others for the spiritual teahings!
Activity in the 1920s During the early 0123s, &sui did a 20day pratie on )ount Kuramayama alled disipline of prayer and fasting, (aording to translator 4yakuten *namoto! 5ommon belief ditates that it was during these 20 days that &sui de#eloped 'eiki! As )ount 4iei is the main Tendai omple6 in 7apan, and is #ery lose to Kyoto, it has been surmised that &sui would also ha#e pratied there if he had been a lay priest! This teahing inluded selfdisipline, fasting and prayer!

Traditions There are two main branhes of 'eiki, ommonly referred to as Traditional +apanese "eiki and estern "eiki! Though differenes an be wide and #aried between both branhes and traditions, the primary differene is that Westernied forms use systematied handplaements rather than relying on an intuiti#e sense of handpositions, whih is ommonly used by 7apanese 'eiki branhes! Both branhes ommonly ha#e a threetiered hierarhy of degrees, usually referred to as the %irst, Seond, and )aster;Teaher le#el, all of whih are assoiated with different skills and tehni
Traditional Japanese Reiki The term Traditional +apanese "eiki is normally used to desribe the speifi system that formed from &sui+s original teahings and the teahings that did n ot lea#e 7apan! During the 0113s, Western teahers tra#eled to 7apan in order to find this partiular tradition of 'eiki, though found nothing! They therefore started to establish 'eiki shools, and started to teah 'eiki le#els 0 and 2 to the 7apanese! Around 011=, a >erman 'eiki )aster, %rank Ar$a#a .etter, also started to teah to the )aster;Teaher le#el, and as a result, the 7apanese started teahing their knowledge of Traditional 'eiki! Sine then, se#eral traditions of Traditional 7apanese 'eiki ha#e been established, the main traditions of whih are listed below!

This soiety remained seret for many years and at present, the shihan (master, )asaki Kondoh, is the president of the >akk ai! Though many of their teahings still remain seret, little by little, members of this assoiation suh as )aster 4iroshi Doi ha#e been sharing their knowledge with the rest of the world! *n spite of this, it ontinues to be a hermeti soiety, nearly impossible to aess!

The 7apanese 'eiki hand positions presented in the /sui "eiki "y0h0 Hikkei (臼井靈氣療法"# , /sui "eiki Treatment Hand&ook as used and ompiled by &sui are onsiderably more e6tensi#e than the hand positions used in Western 'eiki!
estern Reiki Western 'eiki ($%レイキ , eiy0 reiki is a system that an be aredited to 4awayo Takata! The prinipal differene between the traditions is the use of set hand patterns for internal treatments instead of "eijih0, the intuiti#e skill of ?knowing where to plae the hands!? This style of 'eiki plaes more emphasis on the healing of ailments, and asension to higher le#els of attunement is more formalised!
After being trained by 4ayashi, Takata went bak to 4awaii, taking 'eiki with her! After setting up linis there, 'eiki then spread to the rest of the Western world! As a result of the seond world war, Takata deided to modify the Traditional 7apanese 'eiki system in order to make it more understandable and redible to the mentality of the West!

Gendai Reiki $ō (.代靈氣法, meaning ?)odern Spiritual "nergy )ethod? is a system that inorporates elements of both 7apanese and Western 'eiki, and was established by 4iroshi Doi! Doi was first trained in Western 'eiki by )ieko )itsui, a )aster of the ?'adiane Tehniakkai!
Teachin%s 'eiki teahings laim that 'eiki is ine6haustible and that it an be used to indue a healing effet! .ratitioners laim that anyone an gain aess to this energy by means of anattunement proess arried out by a 'eiki )aster! 'eiki is desribed by adherents as a holisti therapy whih brings about healing on p hysial, mental, emotional and spiritual le#els! The belief is that the energy will flow through the pratitioner+s hands whene#er the hands are plaed on, or held near a potential reipient! Some teahings stress the importane of the pratitioner+s intention or presene in this proess, while others laim that the energy is dra'n by the reipient+s in$ury to ati#ate or enhane the natural healing proesses! %urther to this notion, the belief is that the energy is ?intelligent?, meaning that the 'eiki knows where to heal, e#en if a pratitioner+s hands are not present in the speifi area!
Trainin% The teahing of 'eiki outside of 7apan is ommonly di#ided into three le#els, or degrees, the most ommon of whih are desribed below! Traditional 7apanese 'eiki was taught intensi#ely un der &sui+s guidane, with weekly meditation meetings where 'eiki was gi#en and used to san the body in order to supply an energeti diagnosis, whih is known in 7apanese as yosenh0, as a 7apanese 'eiki treatment is intuiti#e and speifially direted in omparison to a Western 'eiki treatment, whih tends to generally treat the whole body instead of speifi areas! &irst de%ree
The first degree 'eiki ourse, sometimes gi#en the 7apanese name of hoden (?/0? in 7apanese, meaning ?"lementary;"ntry Teahings?, teahes the basi theories and proedures! A number of ?attunements? are gi#en to the student by the teaher! Students learn hand plaement positions on the reipient+s body that are thought to be most ondui#e to the proess in a whole body treatment! 4a#ing ompleted the first degree ourse, a 'eiki pratitioner an then treat himself and others with 'eiki! 5ourse duration is dependent on the 'eiki )aster TeaherF some hold four sessions spread o#er a number of days, others hold two sessions o#er two days! !econd de%ree
*n the seond degree 'eiki ourse, sometimes gi#en the 7apanese name of 5kuden (?10? in 7apanese, meaning ?*nner Teahings?, the student learns the use of a number of symbols that are said to enhane the strength and distane o#er whih 'eiki an be e6erted! This in#ol#es the use of symbols to form a temporary onnetion between the pratitioner and the reipient, regardless of loation and time, and then to send the 'eiki energy! Another attunement is gi#en, whih is said to further inrease the apaity for 'eiki to flow through the student, as well as empowering the use of the symbols! 4a#ing ompleted the seond le#el, the student an work without being physially present with the reipient a pratie known as ?distant healing?! Students in 7apan sometimes only attained the Seond Degree after a period of 03, sometimes 23, years of pratie under &sui+s tutorship, and the ma$ority of student ne#er attained the Third Degree!
Third de%ree
Through the third degree, or ?master training?, sometimes gi#en the 7apanese name of hinpiden (?2 30? in 7apanese, meaning ?)ystery Teahings?, the student beomes a 'eiki )aster! *n 'eiki terminology, the word ?master? does not imply spiritual enlightenment, and is sometimes hanged to ?)aster;Teaher? in order to a#oid this onfusion! Aording to the speifi branh of 'eiki, either one or more attunements an be arried out and the student learns a further symbol! 4a#ing ompleted the master training, the new 'eiki )aster an attune other people to 'eiki and teah the three degrees! The duration of the master training an be anything from a day to a year or more, depending on the shool and philosophy of the 'eiki )aster gi#ing the training! There are ommonly two types of )aster: 3aster Tea!her and 3aster 6ra!titioner F a )aster Teaher is a )aster of 'eiki and also has the ability to teah 'eiki (i!e!, attune others, though a )aster .ratitioner is a )aster of 'eiki but does not teah 'eiki!
'ariations
There is muh #ariation in training methods, speed of ompletion (i!e!, attunement, and osts! Though there is no areditation and entral body for 'eiki, nor any regulation of its pratie, there e6ist organiations within the &nited Kingdom that seek to standardie 'eiki an d 'eiki praties, suh as the &K 'eiki %ederation and the 'eiki 5ounil (&K! 'eiki ourses are also a#ailable online, although traditionalists state that attunement must be done in person in order to take effet, as the 'eiki )aster;Teaher doing the attunement must be able to atually touh the energy field of the person being attuned! A distane 'eiki attument is not always reognied by ertain 'eiki federations, suh as with the &K 'eiki %ederation, who state, ?-all trainin# must ha$e &een 7inperson7 or 7fa!e to fa!e7 (distant attunements are not a!!epted)!? Some traditionalists also hold the ideal that methods that teah 'eiki ?

Aording to authors suh as 7ames Deaon, &sui used only fi#e formal handpositions, whih foused on the head and nek! After 'eiki had been gi#en first to the head and nek area, speifi areas of the body where imbalanes were present would then be treated!

*t is reported that the reipient often feels warmth or tingling in the area being treated, e#en when a nontouhing approah is being used! A state of deep rela6ation, ombined with a general fee ling of wellbeing, is usually the most notieable immediate effet of the treatment, although emotional releases an also our!
As the 'eiki treatment is said to stimulate the body+s natural healing proesses, instantaneous ?ures? of speifi health problems are not normally obser#ed! A series of three or more treatments, typially at inter#als of one to se#en days, is usually reommended if a hroni ondition is being addressed and regular treatments on an ongoing basis an be used with the aim of maintaining wellbeing! The inter#al between suh treatments is typially in the range of one to four weeks, e6ept in the ase of selftreatment where daily pratie is ommon!
@oal treatment
A 'eiki treatment in#ol#es the pratitioner+s hands being held on or near a speifi part of the body for a #arying length of time! 'eent in$uries are usually treated in this way, with the site of in$ury being targeted! There is great #ariation in the duration of suh treatments, though 23 minutes is typial! Takata desribed ?loalied treatment? as +handson work,+ ompared to distant or ?absent healing!?
Some pratitioners use loalied treatments for ertain ailments, and some publiations ha#e tabulated appropriate hand positions, 4owe#er, other pratitioners prefer to use the whole body treatment for all hroni onditions, on the grounds that it has a more holisti effet! Another approah is to gi#e a whole body treatment first, followed by a loalied treatment for an y speifi ailments!
&sui used speifi hand positions to treat speifi ailments and diseases (disomfort,I whih inluded disorders of the ner#ous system (suh as hysteria respiratory disorders (suh as inflammation of the trahea, digesti#e disorders (suh as gastri ulers, irulatory disorders (suh as hroni high blood pressure, metabolism and blood disorders (suh as anaemia, urogenital trat disorders (suh as nephritis skin disorders (suh as inflammation of the lymph nodes, hildhood disorders (suh as measles, womenJs health disorders (suh as morning sikness, and ontagious disorders (suh as typhoid fe#er !
