Reiki Share and Learn Group
Reiki Share and Learn Group in Derby, for Reiki Practitioners of all levels. In our June ‘Reiki Share and Learn Group’ we’ll explore some of Buddha’s teachings.

Reiki Inspired by Buddhism: 11 The Journey
The similarity between the Reiki Precepts and the Eight Fold Path although striking, is not surprising. Usui Sensei studied Buddhism and Reiki was born of Buddhist practice. This week we conclude our exploration of The Eight Fold Path. Mikao Usui, founder of Reiki, intended it to be a non-religious path to enlightenment, as well as […]
Reiki Inspired by Buddhism: 10 Right Concentration
This week in our exploration of the Eight Fold Path and the Reiki Precepts we will see how all we have learnt so far culminates in ‘right concentration’.

An intention is a thought and thoughts are often followed by words and actions. So this week we follow ‘right intention’ with ‘right speech’. In the Saccavibhanga Sutta right […]
Reiki Inspired by Buddhism: 4 Right Intention
The similarity between the Reiki Precepts and the Eight Fold Path although striking, is not surprising. Usui Sensei studied Buddhism and Reiki was born of Buddhist practice. This week we continue our exploration of The Eight Fold Path and contemplate ‘right intention’. Last week, in discussing Reiki Healing, we touched on the important role of […]
Reiki Inspired by Buddhism: 3 Right View (2)
Last week we began exploring the concept of ‘right view’ or ‘right understanding’. This involves us accepting The Four Noble Truths: All life is suffering. The cause of suffering is craving. The end of suffering comes with the release from craving. Release comes from following the Eight Fold Path. Our ‘craving’ and ‘clinging to’ causes […]
Reiki inspired by Buddhism: 1 The Eight Fold Path
The similarity between the Reiki Precepts and the Eight Fold Path although striking, is not surprising. Usui Sensei studied Buddhism and Reiki was born of Buddhist practice. Reiki is both learned and experienced. You cannot become a Reiki practitioner just by reading a book. The same is true for Buddhism: reading the suttas and actually […]
