Welcome!!
The mission of The Alcove-Traditional Japanese Reiki Center is to create a Sangha (spiritual community) of Reiki practitioners for the Auburn area and other surrounding regions.
Our intention is to provide a safe place where those who are devoted to practicing Traditional Japanese Reiki can gather to receive training and support in order to develop and deepen their individual Reiki practice.
To this aim, we provide regular, ongoing monthly Reiki Circles, Clinics, and Study groups on a donation basis as well as Reiki training in all degrees and levels.
Additionally, we believe we may be the ONLY Center dedicated solely to the practice of Reiki in our area.
The Alcove-Traditional Japanese Reiki Center follows in the practice and principles of Komyo Reiki Kai as developed by Japanese Buddhist Monk, Hyakuten Inamoto, from Kyoto, Japan.
Hyakuten-sensei studied Reiki with Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a student of Chujiro Hayashi. Hyakuten-sensei independently researched the original teachings of Mikao Usui, the originator and founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho. Hyakuten's system, Komyo Reiki Kai, presents Reiki as it was understood and commonly practiced in the 1930’s in Japan. Komyo Reiki Kai places emphasis on spiritual unfoldment through the practice of Reiki Ryoho, aiming for “satori” or enlightenment.
Anyone with an interest in practicing or learning more about Traditional Japanese Reiki is welcome to join our Reiki Sangha.
Thank you for visiting our website!
