Practise With Intention. Support Calm and Balance.
Learn Reiki through its guiding principles, self-practice, hand positions, energy awareness, distance work and ethical boundaries. Build a calm, consistent practice grounded in respect, consent and realistic expectations.
Build a Calm and Consistent Foundation
Reiki learning begins with personal practice, awareness, respectful touch, clear boundaries and an understanding of what Reiki can and cannot promise.
Grounding
Learn to settle attention, notice the body and prepare for practice without rushing or forcing an experience.
Self-Treatment
Develop a regular self-practice using comfortable hand positions, breath and quiet awareness.
Energy Awareness
Notice warmth, tingling, relaxation, emotion or stillness without treating any single sensation as proof of a result.
Hand Positions
Learn traditional and adaptable hand placements for self-practice and sessions with appropriate consent.
Distance Reiki
Explore the principles and structure commonly used for Reiki practice when people are not in the same location.
Boundaries and Consent
Learn to explain the practice, obtain permission, protect privacy and remain within appropriate limits.
Daily Reflection as Part of the Practice
Reiki traditions often include five principles used for reflection, self-awareness and personal conduct. Wording varies by lineage and teacher.
Just for Today
Bring your attention to the present day and approach it one moment at a time.
Do Not Be Angry
Notice anger without allowing it to control your words, choices or actions.
Do Not Be Worried
Return your attention to the present rather than becoming consumed by fear about what may happen.
Be Grateful
Recognise the people, lessons, support and ordinary moments that bring value to your life.
Do Your Duties Fully
Approach your work and responsibilities with honesty, effort, attention and integrity.
Be Kind to Others
Treat other people, yourself and all living beings with compassion and respect.
From Self-Practice to Responsible Sessions
Reiki is often learned in stages. Students begin with personal practice, then gradually explore working with others, distance practice and professional responsibilities.
Lineages, symbols, attunements and course structures may differ, so each class should clearly explain its approach and requirements.

- Avoid diagnosing conditions or promising cures
- Encourage appropriate medical and mental-health support
