Usui Reiki is based on five core principles, which focus on cultivating positive mental and emotional states, such as gratitude, kindness, and patience. These principles are central to the practice and guide both the practitioner and the recipient toward greater harmony and balance.

Usui Reiki practitioners use specific hand positions to channel healing energy into the body’s energy centers, or chakras. The techniques emphasize a holistic approach, treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just targeting symptoms.

The process of becoming a Usui Reiki practitioner involves attunements or initiations, where a Reiki Master transfers the ability to channel Reiki energy to the student. This process is unique to Usui Reiki and is considered an essential part of its practice, ensuring that the practitioner can effectively connect with the healing energy.

Usui Reiki maintains a strong connection to its origins, with an emphasis on preserving the teachings & methods passed down from Dr. Usui. Many practitioners & masters take pride in this lineage, viewing it as a direct link to the original source of Reiki. While other forms of Reiki, such as Karuna Reiki or Kundalini Reiki, have evolved & incorporated additional elements or techniques, Usui Reiki remains rooted in its traditional practices & spiritual foundations, making it distinct in the world of energy healing.
