“Everyone is born with the right to be healthy and live with happiness, and the path of Usui Reiki Ryoho helps you to fulfill that right.”–Roberta R. Barnes © 2002
The photograph at the top of this page is my, Roberta R. Barnes, Natural Healing & Learning Cemer snuggled in nature where I most commonly teach Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai, styles that embrace and honor Usui Reiki Ryoho as originally created, and offer Reiki healing sessions and my original guided meditations.
Healing of the mind, body, and spirit happens through the healing sessions, Gendai Reiki Ho classes, Komyo Reiki Kai classes, and original guided meditations that I, Roberta R. Barnes, teach and practice.
You are an integration of body (physicality), mind (mentality), and spirit (spirituality), with the mind influencing both the body and spirit. Healing Sessions and classes in either Gendai Reiki Ho or Komyo Reiki Kai are integrated healing that can help you to improve the quality of your life and the lives around you. The universal vibrations of love and harmony that we have come to call Usui Reiki flows through me, or another Shihan (master instructor) or practitioner, to where is needed in mind, body, and spirit.
These universal vibrations flow to what is causing an illness or symptoms in mind, body, and spirit to bring cells into balance and surround with harmony. What is in balance and with harmony heals in the way that is best for the life receiving at that junction in time. <what is Reiki>
The first question everyone asks when he or she hears the word Reiki is, “What style of Usui Reiki Ryoho do you practice or teach?”
I , Roberta R. Barnes, teach and practice Gendai Reiki-ho in the essence in which I completed the teacher’s level in-person in 2002 with its founder Hiroshi Doi. In 1993 Doi Sensei (honorable teacher) joined the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, the society in Japan that Mikao Usui-Sensei founded. In my lasses I explain the reason the society was created and why what happens within the URR Gakkai is kept sacred.
I also teach, and practice Komyo Reiki Kai, in the essence in which I completed the teacher’s level in 2003 in-person with its founder Rev. Hyakuten Inamoto, Hyakuten-Sesnei is also a Buddhist monk.
Doi-Sensei and Hyakuten-Sensei each live in Japan, and each has only two Japanese Shihans between himself and Mikao Usui-Sensei, the founder of the original Usui Reiki Ryoho, My energy and technique lineage in each style is shown in the copyright training manuals for those styles, only available to my students. Any style honoring Usui Reiki Ryoho cannot be learned from a book, DVD, or online, training manuals given out by teachers to their students are for back up as needed.
Sometimes on this site you will see Shihan and other times teacher. Shihan translates as either teacher of high standing or master instructor. No one can master universal energy, but after many hours in classes completing all four levels, and many hours of practice a person can be a master instructor. <learning original Usui Reiki>
The original spiritual healing art, Usui Reiki Ryoho, founded by Mikao Usui in Japan in 1922 is best described in Usui Sensei’s words.

My training manuals are a combination of my Japanese Shihans’ training manuals (in English) and the notes I took in their classes. Like my Shihan’s manuals, not all exercises shown in classes are in the manuals, but there are several pages of history coming directly from Japan, the birthplace of Usui Reiki Ryoho. I have a close lineage, but most importantly I honor Doi-Sensei and Hyakuten-Sensei by teaching in the essence in which each of them taught me. My teaching embraces the original spiritual healing art Mikao Usui created. <read more>
Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai focus on the well-being of the whole person, or other life form. Each style was created in Japan and embraces the essence of Mikao Usui-Sensei’s original Japanese spiritual practice/healing art, in which he introduced the key to health and happiness.
During in-person classes through Japanese exercises, techniques and meditations I guide students how to use that key. Completion of any level can result in a positive healing shift as balance and harmony flows through you at all times in, and all places. When you are in balance and with harmony the healing that is best happens, which then naturally touches those around you.. <learning original Usui Reiki Ryoho>
Your mind, body and spirit being pain free while having a clear head is a beautiful way to live each present moment.

Usui Reiki, flows to the core of what is causing pain. or other symptoms. Healing begins or is enhanced at the core of what is causing symptoms, resulting in the wellbeing of the whole person or the other life form receiving. Having regular in-person Reiki healing sessions is a way to maintain your health; you then are better able to heal from accidents, etc. <healing sessions>
Regardless of which way you say it, at the core of each cell is energy. While there are countless forms of energy, Usui Reiki is a piece of universal energy/the source. <classes with roberta Barnes>
The essence of the original Usui Reiki Ryoho as Mikao Usui created is Spiritual.
The healing that than happens in mind, body, and spirit is a byproduct.
Universal energy does not discriminate. Styles honoring Usui Reiki Ryoho as created by Mikao Usui, can bring healing balance and harmony to all people, animals, birds and other life forms. It flows to all cells in need, which can include the energy field (aura), meridian lines, chakras, light body centers, and more. <healing sessions with Roberta Barnes>
You can read about something or watch it being done, but to know requires experience.
In-person classes give you the experience required for knowledge.
During Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai in-person classes I guide you to weave the healing balance and harmony of universal energy into all areas of your life. Each style also helps you to uncover the true universal you, one of those treasures that can include your innate skills. <learning Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai>

‘Down the Rabbit Hole’ a series of guided meditations into your past, which will be offered in December 2024. It begins with a guided meditation to release subconscious blocks precenting you from knowing your past. From there it is a series of guided meditations guiding you into positive forgotten times in your current life, or a past life that are right for you to see at that time. It is two and a half hours of positive discoveries.
The question you will be answering that day is ‘how far down the rabbit hole can I go’. The fee is only $80.00 in cash or check. You can also register for private guided meditations into your past, which can explain many things in your life today.
Healing sessions, and the healing experienced as you learn Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai can help you heal vibrations of haunting traumas of all types, increase mental clarity and emotional balance, and release negative karma. Gendai Reiki-ho translates as Modern Reiki Method for Healing, but the meaning goes much deeper. <What are Gendai Reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai>
As Mikao Usui said, all people and other life forms have an inner healer. Nevertheless, that inner healer sometimes needs help, and the original spiritual healing art Usui-Sensei created can provide that help.
Your life force energy, your Ki/Qi energy, or energy within your meridian lines can become stagnate, or your inner healer can malfunction. Exercises from the in-person Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai classes, and healing sessions can restore the flow of energies. They can also help to get your inner healer back on track and keep it on track.
Styles such as Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai, which honor the original Usui Reiki Ryoho as Mikao Usui created, are complementary to other positive healing modalities.
If you are a medical care provider in a hospital or other medical facility, or in your own practice, learning Gendai Reiki Ho or Komyo Reiki Kai can benefit your patients. Usui Reiki subtly weaves into and enhances all positive medical care. Many licensed healing professionals add Gendai Reiki-ho or Komyo Reiki Kai into their practice to give that little extra healing. Note that if any person does not want to receive Usui Reiki the universe allows freewill, and Reiki will not flow. No one can force Usui Reiki on any life form .
Through the hours in Gendai Reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai in-person classes you can learn to feel inharmonic and harmonic vibrations, experience self-healing, self-growth, expand your awareness, increase mental clarity, and uncover the true universal you. <Learning Gendai Reiki-ho/ Komyo Reiki Kai>
Each level is important, and requires time in classes and practice after classes. I offer my students enough time in classes to allow each student to know through experience how to resonate with the universal vibrations of love and harmony flowing through him or her. Because I also offer private and semi-private classes you can learn at your pace and with a friend or relative who can practice with you after classes.
Usui Reiki forms a restorative healing rhythm within the entire life form. Integrated healing at its best!
How my, Roberta R. Barnes, classes are best described by my students, which you can read below and on other pages:
“To those of you who are thinking of enlightening your lives for the better, I would recommend taking classes from Roberta R. Barnes. I have taken . . . <read more>
Another of my students wrote — “She is truly the Real Deal, unpolluted and pure, a fountain of love and harmony. If you are truly looking for a pure honest and factual learning experience then you need to spend time with Roberta <read more>
Because each life is unique, and each illness/injury in mind, body or spirit is unique, healing through Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai, as created in Japan, is unique to the receiver at that present moment. <What are Gendai Reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai>
The gentle noninvasive healing vibrations of universal love and harmony, which we have come to call Usui Reiki, bring balance & harmony to where is needed in mind, body and spirit. When combined with, or following, medical treatments/therapies/surgeries the receiver can heal faster and better, and takes less pain medication. <Simple, yet profound>
When every corner of this world is in-balance and with harmony
there will be World Peace.
You can begin changing your corner of the world Today.
Each person/life form is unique, and each Usui Reiki healing session is unique. Side effects of styles that embrace Usui Reiki Ryoho as created, such as Gendai Reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai, are health and happiness. Healing often happens faster and better than expected. If an imbalance has been present for a prolonged period, multiple injuries exist, or the life receiving has experienced numerous traumatic events multiple sessions may be required. When multiple sessions are best, I offer a discount on each fifth session. <healing sessions>

Your life is a journey that contains many journeys. As you advance on your Gendai Reiki-ho or Komyo Reiki Kai journey you can find yourself connecting more deeply with the piece of universal energy to which Usui Sensei connected and develop a deeper connection with the true universal you. Discovering the true you is one the great treasures in life. <Learning Gendai Reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai >
Mind, body, and spirit are not separate from each other.
As was said by Patch Adams in the movie, “You treat the disease you can win or lose, but when you treat the whole person you win every time.” Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo reiki kai being helaiong blance and harmony to the whole person.
In the hours in classes in each level I guide students through exercises that focus on the balance and harmony that comes from the piece of universal energy we call Usui Reiki. Have you ever noticed that harmonious people are often the healthiest and attract the positive?
As a person’s awareness expands through the hours of in-person classes in Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai, and practices exercises after classes, peace, tranquility, and joy can become his or her life’s internal GPS. <What are Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai>
During Usui Reiki Ryoho healing sessions, the life receiving lays or sits, clothed if a person.
- The practitioner/teacher feels where is best to hold her or his hands for Reiki to flow to where is needed. Hands are only placed in noninvasive places.
- The healing balance and harmony flows to what is causing symptoms rather than masking them.
- The life receiving is left with a feeling of well-being that is best for him or her at that junction in time.
- The life receiving is not required to drink water beyond normal need for hydration or change his or her diet.
- No material objects are used and where hands are placed is unique to each life receiving.
Those receiving may not see Usui Reiki or be able to touch it, but she or he can experience the positive effects of the healing balance and harmony flowing to mind, body, and spirit together. Common side-effects are health and happiness.
Imagine being wrapped in the calmness of a warm healing blanket of balance and harmony as pure Usui Reiki flows to wherever is needed. When added before, during or after medical treatments patients have found that less pain medication is needed, and things such as fractured bones and cuts heal faster and better than expected . <healing sessions>
You might hear or read the words describing Usui Reiki Ryoho, but when you experience and feel the vibrations, you can know the true meaning within the original spiritual practice/healing art that Usui Sensei created.
In-person classes for each level allow you to totally submerge into the universal vibrations of love & harmony.
Gendai Reiki-ho has a much deeper meaning than the English translation of ‘Modern Reiki method for healing’.
Hiroshi Doi Sensei, founder/president of Gendai Reiki-ho describes it as, “nothing fishy, nothing odd, nothing difficult“. international © 1999
Usui Reiki cannot be measured, manipulated, or touched, but it is as real as the air you breathe and the gravity that keeps your feet on the ground. You may not be able to see the force of a magnet that attracts things, but the attraction cannot be denied.
Gravity does not require symbols to bring anything down once it has been thrown into the air. Universal energy does not require Reiki symbols for it to flow. <What is Usui Reiki>
Styles of Usui Reiki Ryoho, such as Gendai Reiki-h & Komyo Reiki Kai,
that improve the quality of life.
Integrated healing is not a new idea, as we see in Plato’s words—“The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole”. <Learning Gendai reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai>
In classes you can recognize the importance of the present moment. Your life is a collection of present moments; when each moment is in-balance and with harmony health and happiness naturally follow.— Shihan Roberta R. Barnes ©2004
Mind, body, and spirit are not separate from each other.
Anxiety and worry in everyday life, and unreleased past trauma can cause physical illnesses; even allergic reactions can be triggered by stress. The first guided meditation on Finding Your Solutions guides you into meditation. The second guided meditation helps you to form the habit of looking beyond problems, enabling you to see possibilities. <Meditation & Beyond>
When you are in the habit of looking beyond a problem to see the solution life changes gears. Listening to Guided meditation Finding Your Solutions can help you to get in the habit of looking beyond problems.
An example of the power within the stillness is after years of meditation and then 3 years of daily disciplined Zen meditations Mikao Usui attained enlightenment, opened to an actual piece of Universal Energy, and created his original Usui Reiki Ryoho <Meditation & Beyond>
The natural abilities you were born with can sometimes become overshadowed by opinions of others, experiences or technology. Through Gendai Reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai classes you can regain those abilities by uncovering your true universal self. If you do not have time for classes, my original guided meditations and Reiki healing session package can help you to uncover abilities hidden within you.

Usui Sensei’s original spiritual practice/healing art brings 
the healing light of balance and harmony regardless of the weather.
Usui Reiki is like the sun that shines, plants that grow, birds that fly, and snow that falls from the sky without any symbols, material objects or human directions.
Universal energy is all around us, but the vibrations of unconditional love and harmony from the highest dimensions require a body to flow through in which a pathway has been opened by a qualified Usui Reiki Ryoho Shihan. <learning Gendai Reiki-ho–Komyo Reiki Kai>
