Reading list

Some days I dream of slipping off to a Reiho den on Mt Kurama again… or finding a quiet spot to just sit and immerse myself in my favourite Reiki books… Bliss! 

When you look online or in a book shop, there are So Many Reiki books out there… but which do you choose?

Which ones will help you grow and understand traditional Japanese Reiki more? 

After reading “Light on the Origins of Reiki” by Tadao Yamaguchi in 2009, I left behind the new age style of Western Reiki I’d previously learnt and became a Jikiden Reiki practitioner… Almost within weeks of reading this! 

The purity and simplicity of the original Reiki techniques, along with the credibility and clarity of the teachings passed down to and on by the Yamaguchi family, have truly transformed my life for the better… which led to me wanting to pass all this on to you... In 2011 I began teaching traditional Japanese Reiki after further training with Tadao Yamaguchi, head of the Institute.

Here are some of my favourites, filled with amazing facts and accurate historical background. Have you noticed how we see new things each time we re-read a book?

Books are great for deepening our understanding, but they can't make you into a practitioner... that only happens in person, teacher to student... just as in the days of the founder Mikao Usui. 

Anyone can join Jikiden Reiki Course…  Then you will receive Reiju and feel Reiki flow through your hands…
