About the Jikiden Reiki UK Association

The Jikiden Reiki UK Association (JRUKA) has been set up to serve a variety of functions, which are detailed in our aims and objectives, in addition to serving as a central national organization in the UK to support students and teachers of Jikiden Reiki. The environment for professional practice is evolving and while Reiki in the UK is now voluntary regulated and The Jikiden Reiki UK Association has joined the umbrella organization of the UK Reiki Council thereby helping us to represent our heritage and assist students in doing more within the UK. We have set up a Code of Ethics/Conduct to support all practitioner and teacher members of the association. In addition, we are developing a Core Curriculum for those professional practitioner students who wish to pursue an accredited professional practitioner qualification to work or volunteer in medical settings. This confirms that Jikiden Reiki practitioners and teachers abide by the highest standards and regulations as they work, volunteer or teach.
