REIKI BENCHMARKS
Asia Pacific Reiki Institute adheres to copyrighted Reiki Benchmarks in its teaching of Usui Reiki classes at all levels. These Benchmarks cover the identification of Reiki, the content of Reiki training courses at three levels - Reiki I, Reiki II and Master – and the use of Reiki in a range of contexts.
The Benchmarks are intended to provide guidance to Asia Pacific Reiki Institute graduate Reiki channels, teachers and practitioners in the context of increasing regulatory action by Australian State and Federal Governments directed to ensuring national registration of healthcare providers and to developing a registration scheme for unregistered alternative healthcare practitioners – including Reiki practitioners.
These Benchmarks are specific to the western tradition of Mikao Usui’s Reiki which has been transmitted through the teachings of Hawayo Takata. They may also provide a useful reference for forms of Usui Reiki transmitted through other lineages.
