attunements simply as ceremonies with the whole system being driven solely by the intent of the Practitioner, who has at his/her disposal a number of “tools” that affect the way the energy is directed. There are seven levels in a similar ranking system to that in Japanese martial arts. Usui Shiki Ryoho (or Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho) This is what is usually referred to as traditional Reiki in the West, with the lineage from Usui, Hayashi and Takata to Phyllis Lei Furumoto, Mrs. Takata’s granddaughter. Furumoto and another of Takata’s Masters, Paul Mitchell, set up “The Office of Grand Master,” which has outlined what they call the four aspects (healing practice, personal growth, spiritual discipline, and mystic order) and nine elements (oral tradition, spiritual lineage, history, principles, form of classes, money, initiation, symbols and treatment) of the Usui Reiki system, all of which they believe should be incorporated into Reiki training and practice. Masters who belong to The Reiki Alliance generally follow this system of teaching at three levels with four symbols. Some independent Reiki Masters also use this system with some minor adaptations. Usui/Tibetan Reiki This system, which includes two additional symbols, was developed by William Lee Rand, an American Reiki Master, and is a combination of traditional Usui Reiki, Raku Kei Reiki and his own understandings. It is taught at four levels with a different attunement system from that of Usui Reiki, although the traditional Usui system is also taught to Reiki Masters. Levels 1 and 2 are normally taught on consecutive days. Rand set up the International Center for Reiki Training, and training with Center-accredited Reiki Masters can be counted as part of the training through The National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (USA) and the American Holistic Nurses. Vajra Reiki® This system originally came from Johrei Reiki, and was founded, named and trademarked by Wade Ryan, who trained in India in the 1970s. He revised the Johrei Reiki system and created a “new” energy that is claimed to be particularly effective with some of the new bacteria and viruses that have appeared in recent years. It is taught at three levels and includes mantras, meditation and energy polarity.
