When considering “receiving” within the system of Reiki there are specific initiations, the Japanese term for these are Reiju, which literally translates as spiritual blessing. The initiations are often also called attunements, however the word attunement only came to be used after Mrs Takata, (who brought the system of Reiki to the West) passed away - she herself called them initiations. And then we have hands on healing on ourselves and others.

Enjoy the energetic experience of watching Frans Stiene of the International House of Reiki perform a brief demonstration Reiki treatment as we discuss the evolution of hands on healing for Reiki practitioners. This will help you understand why Reiki practitioners perform Reiki treatments in a variety of ways.
Wondering whether to join us for one of our Reiki Retreats in the USA, Europe, Australia or Bali? Check out this video where Frans explains a little more about the Retreats and what you can expect to get out of them.
