Reiki Jin Kei Do
At the present time there are virtually no resources available specifically designed for practitioners and Masters within the tradition of Reiki Jin Kei Do. This will change as time goes by and new materials are developed.
I will continue to add items to this list as they become available and I would also suggest that you check the official lineage website at: www.reikijinkeido.net from time to time for new materials and publications.
If you are a practitioner or Master trained within the RJKD tradition and you have developed professional quality materials that might be of use to others within the lineage and want me to place a link for them here, then please let me know.
'Reiki Jin Kei Do: The Way of Compassion & Wisdom' by Steve Gooch, O Books 2006. Paperback.
'Reiki Jin Kei Do: The Way of Wisdom & Compassion' by Patricia Warren, 2005. CD.
(A great teaching tool for RJKD Masters, often used on my classes as an alternative to me taking students through a meditation. It is also useful for students to take home and work with on their own. Patricia has a fantastic voice and gives her own interpretation of some standard RJKD methods on this excellent CD).
Magazines - Reiki
The following two magazines are worth reading to stay abreast of new developments in the global Reiki community:
'Reiki News Magazine' Published by William Rand's 'International Centre for Reiki Training'. Often some very interesting articles on all aspects of Reiki and Reiki Therapeutics.
'Reiki Magazine International' Not as good as 'Reiki News' but worth reading for the interviews with leading Reiki figures. Very much aligns itself with the Takata tradition of Reiki as represented by her granddaughter, Phyllis Furumoto.
Books - Reiki
Below are listed some of the books that I have found useful over the years in broadening my understanding of Reiki in general that you also might find of interest. Do be aware however that the history of Reiki that is presented in these books reflects the general understanding of the subject at the time that the books were written. This history is still very much a work in its early stages and new information is coming to light all of the time. Some very useful and interesting material to aid your work in Reiki Therapeutics however.

Books - Meditation
The following books whilst not specifically aimed at a Reiki audience will be of interest to those involved not only in meditation as a discreet healing practice, but also to those that see this as an essential part of their Reiki practice.

Books - Energy Work/Cultivation
There are many books on Energy Cultivation in its various forms on the market. These are just a few that I have found useful either as a guide to practice or in providing background understanding. The types of practices described here are again not aimed at a Reiki audience but in the context of RJKD do provide some useful support material to the energy work undertaken within this tradition.
