Asociația Reiki Usui® – România (Romania)

The story of the Associatia Reiki Usui® began in the fall of 2006, when 10 friends and Reiki teachers, after 12 years of Reiki practice, would have liked to spend more time together experiencing Reiki.

Asociatia Reiki Usui® was established with the desire to support the community, to participate in improving the quality of life, and to have an organized framework for Reiki activities. The Reiki Usui Association® is a registered trademark since 2009 and provides Reiki services both to members and supporters of the organization and to people outside of the organization.

In 2012, the Asociatia Reiki Usui® established the Reiki House, with the purpose of providing a physical space for everyday Reiki practice and volunteer activities. Here they practice Reiki for both their benefit and the benefit of patients. After Reiki courses, students receive a 3-month practice subscription, so they can come to practice with the Reiki master they graduated with.

Since 2014 Asociatia Reiki Usui® has various Western and Japanese Reiki schools present: Usui Shiki Ryoho, Gendai Reiki Ho, Komyo Reiki Kai, etc. It is a coexistence based on mutual respect, with each Reiki school following the teachings of its own Reiki method and the teachings of their master or sensei. They don’t mix the teachings or groups. The goal is to offer freedom for each Reiki school, but to keep the balance between them, respecting the unique path of each. At the meetings of the Association, no single Reiki group pushes its practice or method, but they do together, as a common practice, the Reiki exercises of sensei Usui (such as self-healing, Reiki meditation on the five Reiki principles, purification of the body and mind, etc.). In this way, they stay connected to each other through Reiki and in harmony.

At all meetings, they emphasize the values on which they built the Reiki community: gratitude, modesty, love, compassion and respect, daily Reiki self-practice, and the five principles of Reiki (Gokai).

Most of the Reiki teachers within the Asociatia Reiki Usui® have also taken Reiki courses in Japan.

Today, in Asociatia Reiki Usui®:

A) can meet again in person and have Reiki sessions and practice at Reiki Houses in five cities. In addition, they also have virtual Reiki shares and circles, and they are careful to keep the balance between physical and virtual meetings for Reiki practitioners. they intend to develop the activity at Reiki House, and increase the number of volunteers in other parts of Romania.

B) has collaborations/ partnerships with other smaller Romanian organizations and Reiki groups.

C) represent the interest of both Reiki individuals and Reiki businesses. They hold space for Reiki activities, but the Association doesn’t give courses, accreditations or any over certifications, etc.

D) does ONLY Reiki (no other methods). But members, as individuals, do what they want in their private practice, and in their business, which is their responsibility. The Reiki beneficiaries who ask for Reiki sessions at the Association, seems to be happy that we do only Reiki and that they feel very safe and have the comfort that nobody does not introduce thoughts, and does not take control over their body or life, etc.

Full Circle Fund Therapies (U.K.) (Connecting Reiki with Medicine)

Their aim is to introduce, evaluate and research Reiki in clinical practice. This simple hands-on therapeutic system can be helpful to both the body and mind. There is evidence that energy-based therapies can help ease patients’ pain (Evanoff and Newton 1999; Turner et al., 1998; Baldwin et al., 2017).

The project aims to add to the understanding of how Reiki improves patients’ quality of life by collecting case studies, undertaking evaluations and supporting further research. The information they collect will then support the use of Reiki at St George’s Hospital and other clinical settings.

From the charity’s original base at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, one of London’s leading teaching hospitals, Reiki has been introduced as an evidence-based practice. In line with Full Circle’s ethos its progress will be continuously evaluated to support patient care.

Through Full Circle’s research committee, which includes medical consultants and researchers, and their established links with research institutions in the UK and elsewhere, the charity aims to disseminate findings of how Reiki may help in hospitals, including supporting families and very sick children on the pediatric wards.

It is also intended to look at how Reiki supports cancer, sickle cell and palliative care patients.

The pilot Reiki project at St George’s is just the beginning. Full Circle Fund Therapies is creating a transferrable clinical training and mentoring program which allows Reiki practitioners to work on acute and high dependency units in a way which can be accepted by the medical professions.

Training is taking place on the bone marrow and transplant wards, and is planned as well for pediatric medicine.

Reiki Healing Association, The (U.K.?)

Their story started way back in 1997 when they opened up the Reiki Store and launched the very first online professional Usui Reiki online training programs to many thousands of Reiki students around the world before organically growing and developing into the Reiki Healing Association when we saw an urgent need to support the incredible work of Practicing Reiki Professionals who were practicing and teaching Reiki.

The Reiki Healing Association was established in 2015 to provide a safe and trusted support network for Reiki Professionals. Many Reiki Associations at the time had a long list of requirements to let members access insurance and their members benefits, and they excluded those who had studied and received their Reiki attunements distantly (even though one of the core beliefs of Reiki Level 2 is that Reiki can be sent across time and space).

They didn’t think it was right to block Reiki Professionals from the business tools and insurance they need to get started. In fact, they believe that the more heart-centered Reiki Practitioners there are out there with a passion for helping others, the better the world will be! So they founded the RHA to create an inclusive International Association to give all Reiki Practitioners the chance to put their training into practice, turn their calling into a career with purpose, impact and spiritual and financial rewards.

They were the first Global Reiki Association to help support ALL Reiki Professionals across the world, from all backgrounds, schools and lineages, and strive to remain an industry leader.

If you are a Reiki Professional, looking for a community to help you grow your Reiki practice, find new clients and support you every step along the way, then the RHA is waiting to welcome you into their Reiki family.
