The Usui Reiki Handbook: A Practical Guide to the Founder’s Teaching (Koshin Reiki Instructional Series) Paperback – April 12, 2026

The Usui Reiki Handbook presents the core teaching materials of Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, in full, with careful translation, historical clarity, and direct guidance for modern practice.These writings are drawn from booklets published in 1926 by Usui’s organization, the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, while he was still alive. They represent the closest available materials to the teachings as they were formally presented within his own lineage.This volume brings together the four original texts of the Hikkei—the Reiki Precepts, the Public Explanation of Transmission, the Treatment Outline, and the original selection of 100 Meiji poems—and returns them to the context in which they were meant to be used: daily practice and lived experience.This is not a book of theory or reconstruction. It is a practical guide showing how these concise early writings function together as a complete training system rooted in self-cultivation, hands-on practice, and the refinement of kokoro.Inside, you will find:• Complete translations of the four foundational texts• Guidance for applying these teachings in modern practice• Historical context grounded in primary sources• A clear understanding of how the system functions as a wholeRooted in both lineage practice and historical research, this handbook returns Reiki to its original orientation: simple, grounded, and human.Companion Workbook AvailableA structured companion workbook is available for this volume and is used by students as a study aid in class and personal practice.
