Jikiden Reiki Shoden & Okuden training on 9 & 10 July,and 31 July 2022
I completed both Shoden and Okuden levels with Chieko and participated in a Reiju-kai between the two courses as well.
All three weekends were wonderful! We were gently immersed in Japanese culture, which makes so much sense when you remember Japan is where Usui Sensei was from and where Reiki originated.
Chieko has great integrity and a deep dedication to both Reiki and to her students. She thoroughly explained concepts that may be foreign to English-speaking students from a Western cultural background. There was time for discussion and for questions, and Chieko walked with us every step of the way as we learned the techniques and practices and practised on one another.
All in all it was a beautiful experience, and I highly recommend the courses to those who would like to learn Jikiden Reiki.
I am looking forward to meeting with Chieko and my fellow Reiki students again at future Reiju-kai!

Jikiden Reiki Shoden training on 12th & 13th January, 2021
Hi Chieko
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed your Shoden class and feel it was rich and rewarding and will not only deepen my practice but me personally also.
Your unassuming and humble way of teaching inspires.
I have seen the lady who I mentioned to you on the course twice now and have been practicing and using Kekko. This lady also sees an occupational therapist and a Physiotherapist. One of them mentioned to her the other day how impressed that she was healing so quickly and asked her what else she was doing. She mentioned the Reiki 🙏.
I have also just written an introductory piece introducing myself and bits of my journey as I have accepted the secretary position on the committee of Reiki. I actually cited that I attended your course and highly recommended you.
Love and hugs

Jikiden Reiki Shoden training on 26th &27th September 2020
Dear Chieko,
It was a great pleasure learning Jikiden Reiki Shoden with you and your knowledge of the Japanese culture gives this workshop an extra special touch.
When I was first told that the original teachings of Mr Usui had been kept from the Western World,
I knew instantly that this was the knowledge I’d been seeking in my own healing practice and that the teachings that came with Jikiden Reiki would take my Reiki journey to greater depths.
During the course of the work shop it was very evident that the Reiki energy was building and intensifying and this was especially felt during each Reiju and during the practice sessions.
I would highly recommend this workshop to those wanting to take their Reiki practice to the next level.
Thank you again Chieko for a wonderful and enjoyable workshop.

I am originally from Bangkok, Thailand, my age is 63 years old and I reside in Perth. In 2017 I was diagnosed with lung cancer which transformed to stage 4 level. There have been some operations to increase chances of cure but in addition to the mainstream medical practice I wanted to reach out to alternative ways, when my daughter in law recommended Jikiden Reiki treatment for my condition through Chieko san who has helped her with other well-being treatments before with positive result so I wanted to give it a try. I saw Chieko at least 10 times, in Midvale. I can say that I do feel better and have more energy after each treatment, both physically and mentally. From this, I decided to take up the Reiki course that Chieko san offered in July 2019. That course was valuable to me as it made me feel well and improved my lifestyle, such as finding waking up fresh and breathing better.
I appreciate Chieko san’s energy and work very much through all the treatment and course which seems to help my condition to not get any worse. It is currently under control from last doctor's scans in September. I will continue to practice using Jikiden Reiki techniques to help strengthen my health for the future.
Thank you, Chieko san.
Sincerely,
D.G.

Hello Chieko,
I would like to thank you for inviting me to learn Jikiden Reiki with you.
The weekend was very intense but the fact that I was 1 of a few limited students meant that you could spend quality time with each of us.
Your passion for Jikiden Reiki was evident and your patience with your students very much appreciated.
Although I had already studied Reiki to Level 3, I feel this traditional method is a more in-depth practice and teaches us to be more in tune with our bodies and those of our clients.
Your teachings of how to recognise Byosen were clear and informative and your instructions regarding the different levels of Byosen were very descriptive and easy to understand.
I especially appreciated the exercises where our group energy was recognised and utilised and thank you for ensuring we had lots of practical experience in giving and receiving Reiki.
I believe this in particular, has allowed me to harness and strengthen my Reiki energy. 😊
My Husband and I run a combined Guided Meditation & Reiki session once a fortnight and I am able to utilise these new skills and knowledge.
I am receiving lots of positive feedback about the intensity of the Reiki I am providing, which is very encouraging.
I am working towards one day being able to provide Reiki treatments as my main occupation.
With kindest regards,
D.S.

Jikiden Reiki Course on 9th &10th Mar 2019
Teacher - Chieko Moriya
Over the past few years, I have read about Jikiden Reiki and I was curious to learn this Japanese Reiki treatment modality, as I have been practicing Reiki (Western style) for approximately 16 years. Thus, I was delighted to learn that I could participate in a Jikiden Reiki course in Perth Western Australia, rather than go to study it in Japan.
I met Chieko Moriya for the first time on Saturday 9th March 2019 .When we arrived, we were given a booklet explaining the course content. The booklet itself was clearly set out and easy to read. At the end of the second day we had covered all topics outlined in the curriculum index, for Shoden level. In addition, the teacher gave us additional notes such as the explanation of Japanese words, “Byosen” and notes concerning the “Body’s Detoxing Process.” These printed learning materials were very much appreciated.
The teacher conducted a “Reiju” on the first day and gave us two more “Reiju” (activations) on the second day. We also learnt about the Gokai (five principals) and practiced how to chant the words in Japanese. We were encouraged to listen to the chant on audio available on the internet, practice the chant and recite it twice daily.
A large part of the course was centered around “Byosen.” Chieko explained that during treatment, a practitioner can feel sensations in the hands that indicate the severity of the level of blockage/disease in a person’s body. We had ample opportunity to practice feeling for “Byosen” on each other under the guidance of the teacher. A great deal of discussion and questioning centered around aspects of feeling for “Byosen” in the body. Chieko answered all our concerns and questions with knowledge and experience. We had a good deal of time to practice giving and receiving Reiki . On the final day, we were each given a 60 minute Jikiden Reiki session.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and felt that Chieko was a very competent teacher. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of Jikiden Reiki was evident and she appeared confident and experienced in her teaching. Chieko also stressed the importance of self-care throughout the course.
I am keen to continue to practice Jikiden Reiki on myself and others, to gain further experience in this healing modality. In addition, I intend to continue studying Reiki and do the next level of Jikiden Reiki in the near future.
With thanks
M.P.

Feedback of Jikiden Reiki seminar at Geraldton 17th &18th Nov 2018
Learning Jikiden with you that weekend was amazing in all ways, so a big thank you for that 😊 my experience there won’t be forgotten. The 2 days of learning was full on and tiring but I really enjoyed it, and hopefully I will be able to learn the next level with you sometime in the future.
I have done the 5 day practice and learnt gassho and the gokai is now my daily practice. I have been very committed to continuing what I learnt with you, and will continue to do so, as I really want to use it to help others.
In relation to the treatment to one of the participants on 2nd day, that was amazing and I have never seen or experienced anything like that before. There was so much happening with her body. Her stomach/mid section was constantly moving, and rising. I remember she was saying that it felt like something was moving round her body, like a snake.
It was so worthwhile you coming to Geraldton to do the Jikiden and I know that I am so grateful, as I do feel that it has set me on a new path in life. It is one that I have wanted to take for some time. Going into the 2 day seminar I didn't know what to expect and I was a bit worried because I hadn't done any Reiki prior to this, and knew that other participants had, but the whole 2 days I did not feel that I was disadvantaged. You taught us all as equals and I loved that you delivered the seminar with theory and practical. You ensured that we had lots of practice in giving and receiving Reiki, which for me, someone who had no prior experience of giving Reiki, found so beneficial! I also appreciated the personal stories you shared of your experiences with Reiki, so thank you for that, as it was really inspiring and it made me feel more keen to learn :)
I really want you to do the training for Okuden as I would love for you to teach me this level in the future. :)

Jikiden Reiki – Shoden Level Reiki Training 10th & 11th Nov 2018
TO WHO IT MAY CONCERN
This is to confirm I took this level of training under Chieko Moriya in a small class of four students. The seminar was a combination of theoretical and practical elements of Jikiden Reiki.
I chose to do Jikiden Reiki as it is extremely steeped in tradition and because this teaching is traditional and has not gone through Mrs Tarkata and considered one of the purest forms of reiki. I am already a Master in Western, Seichim Reiki and Komyo Reiki Kai (Do) so undertaking Shoden in Jikiden style Reiki allowed me to experience a difference in approach, technique, attitude, and ideas.
Chieko presented the training seminar with credibility and clarity with teachings from this original and authentic Japanese lineage learned from Dr Usui to Dr Hayashi to Mrs Chiyoko Yamaguchi. Through Chieko, I was able to experience Reiki in its original beauty and simplicity as it was originally taught.
The seminar was communicated clearly and decisively with a well presented manual and located in a lovely bushland setting in amongst nature.
Chieko covered Japanese Reiki History and the Jikiden lineage and the story of Mikao Usui the founder of Reiki and how Jikiden Reiki came about. We touched on kanji and katakana. She taught us the five principles of Reiki in the Japanese language which was very powerful. We learnt them by heart for the next day and chanted them before each Reiju. She stated that the gokai was at the very core of the Usui Reiki system and to sit mornings and evenings in gassho position and repeat the principles out loud and in your heart to improve our mind and body.
She explained the Japanese characters for Reiki and the meaning behind it including how reiki works and how to give treatments using the Byosen method and understanding the Kekko Technique stimulating the detoxification process. We also learnt the tool to develop sensitivity in our hands.
We learnt the first traditional Shirushi reiki symbol and what it meant including how to use it.
We had several practice sessions to learn the new technique and feel Byosen energy in our healing treatments and underwent 3 Reiju attunements over the two day seminar.
On completion of the second day of training we each received an English Certificate and a beautifully presented Japanese style certificate to be framed issued by the Jikiden Reiki Institute in Japan.
I look forward to completing Jikiden Okuden seminar with Cheiko in the near future.
Kind Regards.
G.C.

Jikiden Reiki – Shoden Level Reiki Training 10th & 11th Nov 2018
Dear Chieko
Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn Jikiden Reiki Level 1 under your guidance on the 10th and 11th November 2018.
It was such a wonderful experience and I encourage any volunteer to learn Jikiden as I feel it enhances our Reiki practice.
You are a very good teacher and explained everything in the book really well and gave us a good understanding of the history and origins of Jikiden Reiki.
It was a lot of information to learn and I realise practice will take me to a new level. I believe that you being Japanese made it easier to learn the Japanese names and words used. I felt the hand positions you demonstrated were easy to follow and implement.
I enjoyed the exercises where we harnessed the energy and our group energy was amazingly strong. I was fascinated in how we can find and treat “Boysen”.
I was impressed with your knowledge of ailments and treatments and stories you gave to explain.
I really liked the Ketsueki Kokan Ho – Reiki technique to enhance blood circulation. I have been practicing this technique on one person and he really found it beneficial and energising.
I really enjoyed learning Jikiden and I look forward to practicing more often to get better with my treatments and “feel” or become “more sensitive” to the energy.
Thank you Chieko and I wish you all the best in your future teachings and practice.
Best wishes
P. Y.
