Reiki Meditation (Reiki-hō) is the foundation of the entire Reiki system. Hatsurei-ho‍ ‍発霊法 translates as “the method for generating spiritual energy.”

A form of energy cultivation and mindfulness drawn from the meditative heart of Reiki practice. It unites the breath (kokyū-hō), awareness (seishin tōitsu), and intention (reiji) to awaken the innate healing force within. Daily meditation was central to Usui-sensei’s original teachings.

At the New York Reiki Academy, we honor these roots by offering guided group and private Reiki meditations.

Each Hatsurei-hō session includes:

Breathwork & Stillness – to calm the nervous system and focus the mind.

Energetic Cleansing (Kenyoku) – a traditional dry brush self-purification technique to clear stagnant energy.

Joshin Kokyū-hō – Reiki cleansing breath for energy refinement and purification.

Gasshō Meditation – a centering practice for gratitude and unity.

Seishin Toitsu – a zazen or samyama focusing spirit in oneness

Gokai Mantra – a recitation & mindful embodiment of the Reiki Precepts

Reiji-hō – cultivating intuitive awareness and inner alignment.

Our meditations trace directly back to Usui Sensei’s original methods taught at the Usui Reiki Gakkai in Japan.
These include Hatsurei-hō, the daily spiritual cultivation practice taught by Usui and later preserved by Hayashi Sensei.

At the New York Reiki Academy, we uphold these authentic teachings while integrating modern Western Reiki practices and Ayurvedic science — creating a bridge between East and West, tradition and evolution.
