One course · a complete progression

Reiki isn’t collected in levels.
It is lived in stages.

Depth comes from practice, reflection, ethics and real experience—not from rushing toward a title. Your next stage opens only when the work behind it is complete.

Begin with your own relationship to Reiki, build the skill to offer thoughtful sessions to others, then refine advanced techniques for real-world practice.

The Five Reiki Principles

Standards, not shortcuts

Your certificate reflects
work you have actually done.

Reiki has no single government licensing body in the United States. That makes transparent requirements, thoughtful feedback and ethical practice especially important.

01

Documented practiceSelf-treatment, work with others and reflective session logs.

02

Demonstrated understandingModule assignments, knowledge checks and technique application across all three stages.

03

Meaningful integrationTime between milestones to practice what you learn.

04

Clear scope of practiceNo diagnosis, cure promises or replacement for medical care.

Three ceremonial milestones

An attunement practice you can
meet in your own time.

In Reiki tradition, attunement is a spiritual initiation received through intention and focused practice. The Academy’s distance method lets prepared students enter that ceremony wherever they are, once each stage is complete.

01

Prepare

Complete the stage requirements, preparation lesson and quieting practice.

02

Receive

Enter a self-guided ceremony held within Master Tanaka’s prepared intention.

03

Integrate

Follow a 7-, 14- or 21-day practice and reflection period before advancing.

A spiritual tradition, described with care. Attunement is presented as an Academy belief and ceremonial Reiki practice—not as a scientifically established energy transfer. Individual experiences vary.

Questions, answered clearly

Before you
begin.

Still wondering whether the course fits? Write to the Academy.

Is this one course or three separate levels?

It is one Stripe enrollment for a 24-module, 83-lesson program with three progressive stages. Each stage opens after its lessons, module assignments, practice, assessment and attunement requirements are complete.

How long does the complete program take?

The guided curriculum is approximately 89 hours. Plan for about 16–24 weeks, plus the time needed for self-practice, real-recipient sessions, assignments and integration milestones; the pathway is intentionally not compressed into a weekend.

How do the distance attunements work?

After completing each stage, you follow a preparation and self-guided ceremony within Master Tanaka’s prepared intention, followed by a 7-, 14- or 21-day integration practice. This is taught as an Academy spiritual tradition; experiences are individual.

Is the certificate accredited?

Reiki is not governed by one central accrediting or licensing authority in the United States. You earn a private Reiki Master Academy completion certificate backed by defined coursework, practice, assessment and attunement—not a healthcare license.

Do I need to practice on other people?

Yes. Practitioner and Master Practitioner milestones include documented sessions with consenting adult recipients and independently observed competency work. The course teaches hands-on and hands-off options, traditional techniques, complete session structure, positioning adaptations and accessibility modifications.

Can Reiki replace medical or mental-health care?

No. The course presents Reiki as a complementary spiritual and wellbeing practice. Students are taught not to diagnose, promise cures or advise anyone to delay qualified medical or mental-health care.

What do I receive when I finish?

Stage Two completion records the Academy’s Reiki Practitioner milestone. Completing all 24 modules and 83 lessons, every module assignment, the required recipient sessions, observed competency assessments, final practicum and Reiki Master attunement automatically issues a downloadable, publicly verifiable Master Practitioner completion certificate.
