Over the years, I have come to see a number of recurring themes and principles that sit at the heart of authentic Reiki practice. In this blog, I've distilled those ideas into what I call the "10 Rules of Reiki" – a practical framework inspired by Usui's teachings and by many years of teaching and practising Reiki.
These include:
