New Usui Reiki
Manual written by
Jens Söeborg, DK
System founder
Ole Gabrielsen, DK
Foreword:
I have received transmissions from Ole Gabrielsen from back in
1996. From his booklet “A Complete Course in Healing” from
about year 2000 I have leaned how to channel the initiations
myself. But this attunement I did not get from Ole Gabrielsen,
nor did I channel it myself. After reading about the story, which
you can read below, I was thinking of channelling the attune-
ment, but did not. I few days later I received the attunement
directly from Usui.
I give it for free – so please do not charge any money for this attunement. I was a
gift from Usui to me. I give it as a gift from me to you. Please pass it on to your
Reiki family, Reiki friends and Reiki students for free.
You are welcome to pass this mini manual on for free too – if you try to sell it you
could be fined according to copyright laws.
Welcome my friend!
It is with much pleasure and warmth in my heart, that I can now present to you
a new “upgraded” version of Reiki Ryoho. Much have been said and written
about Reiki, Much focus has been given to what is right and wrong, how the
hands should be placed, which correct symbols to use etc. But let me tell you,
what Reiki Ryoho really is: Reiki Ryoho is simplicity!
You should relax more and trust your intuition, because that is the road to true
healing! Do not dwell on to many techniques – just do it! My child (Fuji Usui,
who died July 10th. 1946, 38 years of age) has always been using this parable in
his teachings:
If you threw a bucket of water onto a path filled with potholes, what happens?
The water gathers in the potholes. You don’t need to go to each individual hole
and fill them one by one; the water will run into the holes and fill them all one by
on; the water will run into the holes of its own accord. This is how energy works.
Start the energy flowing, and it will gather in the places it is needed of its own
accord.
You se – Reiki energy is intelligent. You cannot force it – do less and you will
gain more.
The original “system” did not have any levels or grades. (They were made by the
navy officers after creating Usui Reiki Ryoho and adapting the system of grading
from Judo and other martial art systems). Nor did it have symbols. These have
been added later on. (Symbols seem to have been added by Chujiro Hayashi). I
have though decided to keep the 3 level system for better adaptability. I have
added nothing, so you can keep on doing what you have done previous, with the
only “side effect”, that the energy has been refined.
Some claims that they have channelled the “highest frequency or wavelength” of
the Reiki energy. But I say to you, nothing stops the evolving process! Everything
evolves into a finer frequency – and this process is infinite!
1. Visualize Usui Sensei – you can use the front picture if you please.
2. Ask him to help you in this attunement procedure.
3. Now imagine or visualize, that you are surrounded by life force (Reiki) that
is slowly becoming stronger and stronger. Do this for 2-5 minutes.
4. Say directly to the accumulated life force. Reiki will be generated
continuously and you will not fade until this attunement is completed”
5. Say mentally or loud (to your higher self and Usui) “I ask that (Name) may
be attuned at (time - and time zone if different) on (date – if not the same
day) to New Usui Reiki, in the strongest transmission the receiver can
handle.”
6. The attunement will then start (at the time stated) and after around 10
minutes, it will stop.
Self initiation is also possible if you know how to do it.
The teachings today do not take so long time any more, and many people learn it over the Internet. Some
teachers are very good – others not that good. Some manuals are very good – others lack something.
Some manuals are stating a lot of things as a truth, which it is absolutely not. I am not talking about the
lovely story Mrs. Takata told about me, but of a lot of other misleading things. There is now a tendency to
mix everything else with Reiki – and here the problems start.
There is really no problem if you call a system Shamanic Reiki, Buddhist Reiki, Christian Reiki, Crystal
Reiki, Taoist Reiki or Shinto Reiki – because then people know, that it is a mix – even though some of
the cocktails in the Internet Bar are quite amusing. It is interesting to se how many variations you can
make out of one variation.
A lot of students from Reiki classes think for instance, that treating the chakras is Reiki Ryōhō. It is NOT.
But it still is a nice western way to use the energy. Chakra, Nadies etc. are Indian and Tibetan systems,
but in China and Japan the Meridian System is used. Some teachers mix a lot of other stuff into a normal
Shiki Ryōhō or Reiki Ryōhō class. Please do NOT call it a Reiki class if you mix it with Buddhism,
Christianity, Shamanism or ANY other thing – call it something else.
Another way to keep Reiki Ryōhō clean is to follow some ethic rules, which are done by a lot of groups,
but many others do not follow such rules.
Keep it simple
Keep it simple does not mean, that you as a teacher shall come around with it the easiest way. No – it is
expected that you work hard, study a lot of material, improve your healing skills, meditate daily and so
on. But you have to make it as simple as possible for the ones you teach – whether it is in person or by
correspondence.
In Reiki Ryōhō and its variations a lot of symbols are used. They are really not necessary; your intention
is of much more importance. But they are useful as focusing objects. Using the Reiki energy and during
meditations many people see symbols, that they can use for healing. Some of those symbols are
personally other can be used by all. But beware of the number of symbols in the systems – the more
symbols – the more complicated.
Money is always a problem. Having too many or too little is a problem. What should a treatment cost?
What is the correct price for a Reiki class? Nobody expects you to use time and energy without any
exchange – but nobody wants to get ripped off either. The Reiki energy is given free from the guides,
angels, ascended masters etc. You DO NOT pay for the energy. You might pay for the time used, for the
classes that your teacher has paid for e.g., but you have never paid for Reiki (the energy). Keep your
intentions clear, Reiki Ryōhō should not be a money making issue, but everyone have to survive and
nobody tells you work for nothing.
Reiki Ryōhō is not an ego polishing issue either. Many people who have taken a correspondence course
in Shiki Ryōhō 1-3 or Kundalini Reiki 1-3 tend to call themselves “masters”. What do they master? Mr.
Hayashi and the other teachers did not call themselves masters. Their students called them “sensei” of
respect for them and their learning. They could call themselves “shihan”, which means teacher, but never
“master” or “grand master”. In Germany they tell people, that they can become “grand masters” over a
weekend by taking a Reiki 5th. and 6th. grade class. You were told to make it simple – but not that simple.
Keep meditating
A lot of Reiki Ryōhō practitioners and teachers do meditate regularly, and that is really a good thing for
you. Meditating you can connect to many healing energies and you can learn a lot. Some Reiki Ryōhō
practitioners and teachers do not use meditation so much. They should do it more often.

Usui and the different new forms of Reiki – here the authors I have read the most:
James Deacon, Light & Adonea, Rick Rivard, Taggart King, Vincent Amador and William Rand.
Also thanks to the many work-groups, which are doing a tremendous work to spread out
