I, Roberta R. Barnes (Shihan/master teacher), teach Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai in all four levels/degrees as I learned in-person from my Japanese teachers who live in Japan and honor the original Usui Reiki Ryoho founded by Mikao Usui. <Read what are Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai>
My Reiki in-person Classes in all four levels, and Healing sessions take center stage in healing mind, body, and spirit to achieve the natural wellbeing of the whole person or other life form.
In classes I explain 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.
You are an integration of body (physicality), mind (mentality), and spirit (spirituality). The piece of universal energy called Reiki flows to the whole life as needed, healing at a profound level. Life can come with unexpected challenges; the balance and harmony of Reiki, as created in Japan, can be the solution.
You can enjoy the healing of mind. body and spirit through healing sessions and classes in Gendai Reiki Ho and Komyo Reiki Kai as I learned in-person from the founder of each style created in Japan. I honor my Japanese teachers by teaching and practicing as I learned from each teacher. Knowledge is gained through experience. I give my students enough time in classes to gain that experience. Because I teach as my Japanese teachers taught me in-person, one of my students described me as the real deal. <Learning Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai>
Reiki is simple, yet it is everything. <read simple yet profound>
Some of the most beautiful and helpful things in life are simple. The universal vibrations of Love and Harmony, which we call Reiki, flow to the core of what is causing symptoms in mind, body, and spirit. At the core Reiki creates balance and surrounds 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. <read what is Reiki>
My in-person classes, and healing sessions can heal mind, body, and spirit, the whole person or other life form,.
In my Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai in-person classes you can learn to weave balance and harmony into all areas of your life. Your health and happiness can affect the health and happiness of all around you; from Shoden on it is a journey that continues to give. <learning Original Reiki>
I also offer original guided meditations into your past for discovery and healing; Reiki flows through me during the guided mediation to add that extra. <healing sessions>
The first question asked when he or she hears the word Reiki is,
“What style of Reiki do you practice or teach?“
I, Roberta R. Barnes, teach and practice Gendai Reiki-ho in the essence in which I earned the Master teacher’s certificate in-person in 2002 with the 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 classes I explain the reason the society was created and why what happens within the URR Gakkai is kept sacred; as was shared in class by my teacher Doi-Sensei.
I also teach, and practice Komyo Reiki Kai, in the essence in which I earned the Master Teacher certificate in-person in 2003 with its founder Rev. Hyakuten Inamoto. Hyakuten Sensei is also a Buddhist monk.
Doi-Sensei and Hyakuten-Sensei each live in Japan, and each has only two Japanese Shihans (Master instructor/teacher of high standing) 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 only available to my students. The same as other Reiki masters, I have hung my certificates on the walls of my healing studio in Maine.
Sometimes on this site you will see Shihan and other times teacher or Master. 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. <read learning styles of original Usui Reiki Ryoho>
The original spiritual healing art, Usui Reiki Ryoho, founded by Mikao Usui in Japan in 1922 is best described in Mikao Usui Sensei’s words.

The © training manuals my students receive for backup are a combination of my Japanese Shihans’ training manuals (in English) and the notes I took in their classes. While I have a close lineage to Mikao Usui the founder, most importantly I honor Doi-Sensei and Hyakuten-Sensei by teaching in the essence that embraces the original spiritual healing art created by Usui Sensei. <read more>

Each style that I teach in-person and practice, was created in Japan and embraces Mikao Usui-Sensei’s original Japanese spiritual practice/healing art, in which he introduced the key to health and happiness .
During my in-person classes you can learn how to use that key. Each level is important, and completion of the level can result in a positive healing shift as balance and harmony flows through you at all times, and in 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 in mind, body or spirit. Healing begins or is enhanced at the core of what is causing symptoms, resulting in the wellbeing of the whole person pr other life form. As was said in the Patch Adams 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 bring healing balance and harmony to the whole person. <read healing sessions>
Each life is born with the right to live with the health and happiness that is right for him or her, and Reiki as created in Japan heals that to happen.
Regardless of which way you say it, at the core of each cell is energy. While there are countless forms of energy, Usui Reiki the piece of positive universal energy/the source to which Mikao Usui connected can heal in such amazing ways that they sometimes go unnoticed. <scheduled 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. Reiki 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 allow enough hours in classes to guide you to weave the healing balance and harmony of universal energy into all areas of your life. You can also uncover one of life’s most precious treasures, the true universal you <learning Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai>
Healing is your birthright. Through healing sessions, and during Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai classes you can experience healing of the vibrations of haunting traumas of all types. You can 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>
“All people and other life forms have an inner healer.” © Usui Mikao international 2002. Nevertheless, that inner healer sometimes needs help, and the original spiritual healing art Usui-Sensei created can provide that help.
Some of my, Roberta R. Barnes, recent students wrote:
” I love the fact that Reiki can be woven into your entire life. I use the techniques and practices at work and at home. You will definitely feel a sense of peace and calm if you practice.” – Cindy
“The principles/teachings really are priceless and something that can be beneficial in all areas of life.” Josh.
“The classes were planned and organized well. They evolved at a good pace, with time to practice and incorporate into daily life.” Ashley

My workshop ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’ that I offer throughout the year is a series of guided meditations into your past that I offer at different times during the year. 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’.
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 ofenergies. 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. These vibrations of balance and harmony can enhances all positive medical care in mind, body or spirit. My students who are licensed healing professionals that add Gendai Reiki-ho or Komyo Reiki Kai into their practice have told me how it gives that little extra, and because the universe offers freewill it will not flow if not wanted.
If the patient does not want to receive Reiki, because the universe allows freewill it simply will not flow. When the original Reiki Usui Sensei created is combined with, or following, medical treatments/therapies/surgeries the receiver can heal faster and better, and takes less pain medication. <Simple, yet profound>
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 and self-growth, expand your awareness, increase mental clarity, allow Reiki to flow to others as needed, and uncover the true universal you. When you are in balance and with harmony you naturally touch others in a positive way.
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. <Learning Gendai Reiki-ho/ Komyo Reiki Kai>
Usui Reiki Ryoho 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 more 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 the spiritual arts of 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>
When every corner of this world is in-balance and with harmony
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 the original Usui Reiki Ryoho as created, such as Gendai Reiki-ho & Komyo Reiki Kai, are health and happiness.
Mind, body, and spirit are not separate from each other. When mind, body and spirit are in-balance and surrounded with harmony they are in alignment and the quality of life can improve.<healing sessions>
“Usui Reiki is light, in its true nature it is pure light”. translation international © 1999
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 healing sessions, the life receiving lays or sits, fully clothed if a person. Common side-effects are health and happiness.
You might hear or read the words describing Usui Reiki Ryoho, but when you experience the healing that continues healing for two to four days, you can understand the true meaning within the original spiritual practice/healing art that Usui Sensei created.
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 . <read more healing sessions>
Gendai Reiki-ho has a much deeper meaning than the English translation of ‘Modern Reiki method for healing’.
Hiroshi Doi Sensei, founder 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 you on the ground. 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,
are integrated healing
that can improve the quality of your life and lives around you.
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”.
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 have helped other people uncover abilities hidden within you.
Enjoy the simple healing balance and harmony of the profound original spiritual practice/healing art that Mikao Usui founded in 1922. <learning Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai>

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 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, which has had a pathway opened by a qualified Usui Reiki Ryoho Shihan/teacher. <learning Gendai Reiki-ho–Komyo Reiki Kai>
As Hippocrates said, “The physician treats, but nature heals.” Reiki is a form of nature form the highest dimension.
