The Reiki Association

Our Story so far...

Established in the UK in 1991, The Reiki Association’s roots lie in Usui Shiki Ryōhō, but welcomes all styles of Reiki.

The Reiki Association has a simple yet profound purpose, to unite enthusiasts and practitioners in creating a supportive global community, fostering a shared connection that spans the globe.

At the heart of The Reiki Association is the Usui Shiki Ryōhō lineage as expressed by Hawayo Takata, Phyllis Lei Furumoto and named successor Johannes Reindl. The Reiki Association acts as a hub to connect all those practitioners and students who share the common passion for Reiki.

Proudly standing as a founder member of the Reiki Council, The Reiki Association plays a significant role in supporting the public and professional practice of Reiki. The Reiki Association actively contributes to the development and evaluation of approved courses of learning, setting standards of practice, and provides professional verification services for practitioners seeking Complementary and Natural Health Council (CNHC) registration.

The Reiki Association is a ‘not-for-profit’ organisation led by an elected Council supported by a ‘Circle of Service’ who volunteer their services the provide daily administration, event organisation, communicate and engage members, and enable the Reiki healing support networks.

The Reiki Association is not just for professional Reiki Practitioners. We welcome and support all facets of Reiki, whether you are treating family and friends, or self-treating within a personal practice of healing and spiritual development, The Reiki Association is there offering guidance and community connection.

We are guided by the Reiki Principles:

‘Just for today do not worry

Just for today do not anger

Honour your parents, teachers and elders

Earn your living honestly

Show gratitude to every living thing’
