Usui Reiki Ryōhō
Okuden – Level Two (Guided)
👺
Why the Tengu emoji? In Japanese folklore, Tengu are the mountain guardians of Mt. Kurama in Kyoto — the place associated with Mikao Usui’s training. I use the tengu mark here as a small signpost for essentials: discipline, protection, and clear seeing in practice, and as a sign of respect to all that the Tengu teach us on our journey.
Welcome to Okuden - The Inner Teachings - of traditional Usui Reiki Ryōhō! Okuden takes your Reiki practice one huge step further as we begin to turn inward, incorporating the Reiki symbols, and working further on the nature of our mind, which deeply facilitates healing.

Train in a living Japanese lineage
Your Usui Reiki Ryōhō courses at Roots of Life connect you to the living lineage of the practice from Kyoto. I return to Japan yearly to work with Reiki, at the very roots of the practice - and I bring that understanding directly back to my students.
- I’m a 4th-generation teacher — three teachers removed from Usui Sensei.
- Complete Shoden, Okuden, and Shinpiden with me to step forward as a 5th-generation practitioner.
- If you’re transferring in, we’ll review your background and fill any gaps with mentoring and materials.
Read the full lineage & requirements here. You’ll receive a certificate of completion after each level.
Level Two · Inner teachings
Okuden — depth, symbols, and integration
We refine stillness, introduce the symbols as living tools, and bring practice into daily life with clarity.
- Use symbols in real sessions without feeling mechanical or forced - the opening of "Being" not "Doing".
- Exploring the full and complex depth of each symbol.
- Learn what "Okuden" really asks of us - turning inward to begin to feel the same journey Usui Sensei took.
- Forming a deep connection to the stories, myths, and presence of Mt. Kurama (the birthplace of Reiki) and begin to see how the mountain is a mirror for your own journey inward.
