How to Use This Course

Take your time. Explore deeply. Practise honestly. Allow your Reiki journey to unfold.

Before You Begin

Deepening Reiki is a self-paced online programme. There is no need to rush from one lesson to the next.

The course has been designed to give you space to learn, practise, reflect and return to the material whenever you need to.

Some lessons may introduce ideas that you want to sit with for a while. Others may inspire you to spend more time practising. Allow yourself that space.

Your experience of the course is just as important as the information contained within it.

“There is no race to the end. The practice itself is part of the journey.”

How the Course Works

Work Through Each Module

Begin with Module 1 and progress through the nine modules in order. Each module builds on themes explored earlier in the programme.

Read & Explore

Take time to read the teaching material carefully. Where historical, cultural or lineage differences are discussed, approach them with curiosity and discernment.

Practise

Whenever a practice is introduced, step away from the screen where possible and experience it for yourself.

Reflect

Use the reflection questions and your own journal to record what you notice, what you experience and what you are learning.

Complete the Knowledge Check

Each module contains a short six-question knowledge check, designed to reinforce the key learning from that module.

Continue Your Journey

Once you have completed the module, continue to the next stage when you feel ready.

What You Will Find Throughout the Course

📖

Teaching

Carefully structured lessons exploring Reiki history, philosophy, Japanese context and personal practice.

✓

📊

Progress Tracking

🏆

Final Assessment

A 20-question final assessment brings together the knowledge explored throughout the nine modules.

Learn at Your Own Pace

You can complete the course in your own time.
You can revisit lessons and practices whenever you wish.
You may find it helpful to spend several days practising before moving to another module.
There is no requirement to complete a module in a single sitting.
Consider creating a regular time in your week for your Reiki practice.
Keep a dedicated notebook or journal alongside the online course.

Your Module Knowledge Checks

At the end of each module you will find a short interactive knowledge check.

How they work:

Each question has one best answer.

Select your answer and submit it. You will receive immediate feedback before moving to the next question.

Your score is then recorded as part of your Deepening Reiki progress.

Modules 1–9 contain individual knowledge checks.
Your results are stored within the course progress system.
The knowledge checks are designed to reinforce learning rather than create pressure.
If you make a mistake, use the feedback as an opportunity to revisit the material.
Understanding is more important than simply achieving a score.

The Final Assessment

20 Questions · 80% Pass Mark

Once you have completed the nine learning modules, you will be invited to complete the final Deepening Reiki assessment.

80%

Recommended pass mark
You will need at least 16 out of 20 correct answers to achieve the recommended 80% pass mark.

The assessment brings together learning from across the entire programme, including Reiki history, Japanese context, Ki, Kotodama, Gasshō, Hatsurei Hō, the Precepts, Misogi, Reiju, intuition and integration.

If you do not achieve the pass mark on your first attempt, use the opportunity to revisit the relevant modules and deepen your understanding before trying again.

Reflection Is Part of the Learning

Don't Just Ask “What Did I Learn?”

As you move through the course, also ask yourself:

What did I notice?
What did I experience?
What challenged my existing understanding?
What feels familiar?
What would I like to explore further?
How might this influence my Reiki practice?

These questions can transform the course from something you simply complete into something you genuinely experience.

Approaching the Course Well

🌿 Do

Stay curious.
Practise regularly.
Reflect honestly.
Respect different Reiki lineages.
Take your time.
Return to material when needed.
Keep an open but discerning mind.

🍃 Don't

Feel that you need to rush.
Compare your experiences with others.
Feel you must experience something dramatic.
Treat every interpretation as historical fact.
Chase unusual sensations or experiences.
Use Reiki as a substitute for appropriate healthcare.
Feel that completion means your learning is finished.

Respecting the diversity of Reiki

Reiki has developed through different teachers, schools and lineages. Terminology, practices and interpretations can therefore vary.

Where this course discusses traditional Japanese concepts, historical context or lineage-specific practices, you are encouraged to approach them with both respect and discernment.

The aim is not to tell you that your previous Reiki training was wrong. The aim is to invite deeper exploration.

Create Your Own Learning Rhythm

One of the most valuable things you can do during this programme is establish a simple Reiki rhythm that feels realistic for you.

Choose a regular time for personal Reiki practice.
Begin with just a few minutes if that is what feels sustainable.
Use Gasshō as a simple way of arriving.
Practise Hatsurei Hō as appropriate to your experience and lineage.
Return to the Reiki Precepts throughout your day.
Keep noticing rather than forcing.

Personal Responsibility & Wellbeing

Reiki practice within this course is presented as a complementary wellbeing and personal-development practice.

It should not be used to diagnose, treat or replace appropriate medical or psychological care.

If you have a health concern, seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

When working with others, always respect consent, personal boundaries and the individual's right to make their own healthcare decisions.

About your completion certificate

Successful completion recognises that you have completed the Deepening Reiki online programme.

This programme is a deepening and personal-development course. It is not Shinpiden or Reiki Master Teacher training, and completion does not qualify you as a Reiki Master Teacher.

Before You Enter Module 1

Take one final moment before beginning your journey.

Put aside distractions where possible.
Take a comfortable breath.
Bring your hands together in Gasshō if appropriate.
Notice your body and your surroundings.
Let go of the need to know exactly where this journey will lead.
Bring curiosity with you.

You don't need to have the answers before you begin.

You simply need to be willing to explore.
