LINEAGE: ? - Gary Jirauch...
ORIGIN: According to the information provided this branch of Reiki claims to be "Tibetan Reiki in the Medicine Buddha Tradition". The information goes on to say "Jinlap Maitri, a powerful healing and self-development modality, is a five-level energy healing system, for those who have attained Karuna Reiki mastership and wish to continue their development as healers even further. At each level of Jinlap Maitri, initiates receive powerful empowerments, or attunements, in the Tibetan Medicine Buddha tradition, providing a wide range of flexibility and depth in both healing and spiritual development practice."
DEGREES/LEVELS: 5 Levels: 1 attunement to each level. 25 symbols. Training is said to include; the Tibetan concept of the five elements in relation to initiation, purification and healing; Meridian Therapy, information on the energetic body including 8 wondrous channels, micro/macrocosmic orbit, psychic pathways and etheric template expansion; distant healing, psychic surgery, trauma release, self-empowerment, and clearing the emotional body. Tibetan Five Element attunement/mantras; said to manifest the positive and for healing past and future conditions. Initiations and special empowerments of the Medicine Buddha, Six Lokas and Bija mantric chakra method and teach how to create Glum-Mo Tibetan healing.

LINEAGE: Andrea Mikana-Pinkham…
ORIGIN: This system of Reiki was started by Andrea. It is a combination of Usui Reiki for first and second degrees and Johrei Reiki for Mastership (see Johrei Reiki for more information). Andrea calls herself a Reiki Grand Master. The traditional 3 symbols are given in Second Degree and Johrei Master Symbols given in mastership. No Usui Master symbol is given. The attunements are quite different in form and the student sits on the floor throughout the attunement. There is also another simple procedure which is called a Heart Attunement developed by Andrea. The Heart attunement addresses only the Heart Chakra and is similar to procedures other masters do to attune a chakra or chakras. The Johrei calligraph (White Light symbol) is also given as is the Antahkarana which is called the male/female master symbol.
DEGREES: 3 degrees/4 levels. First Degree; 4 attunements, 2 day class. Teaches history and positions for hands-on treatment self and others. The hand positions are quite different and the back is not treated during a self treatment. Second Degree; 1 attunement, 1 day class. Teaches 3 symbols with name and use, how to do distance treatments and a mental healing technique. Master Practitioner Level; 1 attunement, 1 day class. For those who do not wish to teach, but a prerequisite for those going to teacher level. Teaches Johrei Raku master symbols and heart attunement. Master/Teacher Level no attunement, per hour until attunements are learned. Teaches how to do attunements to all three levels and the breath of the Fire Dragon. Usui Master Symbol is not given or used in any attunement.
LINEAGE: Wade Ryan...
ORIGIN: Originally came from Jorei Reiki. Vajra Reiki® was founded, named and trademarked by Wade Ryan who revised the Jorei Reiki system and created this hotter, more focussed, and “coarser” energy which seems to effectively address the more catastrophic bacteria and viruses which are appearing on the planet at this time. Wade was initiated into the Vajra Reiki Master Mantra as well as the Om-Ah-Hum Symbol/Mantra in India, in the 1970’s; he also trained in ChakrAgni Tattva Vidya. He believes this training in conjunction with Robertson/Ishikuru’s revision's combining the Johrei Energy with Usui Reiki created an energy melieu, which set the groundwork for the manifestation of the Vajra Reiki energy.
DEGREES: Includes 3 levels: 1) Shokuden (comparable to Levels I and II in Usui Reiki) - three Attunements, and four symbols. This empowers the Practitioner to give a treatment to self and others, both “hands-on” and absentee. Due to the complexity of the Vajra Reiki energy 7 system, this level of Vajra Reiki is only available to Usui Level II - or higher - Practitioners. There is a specific Sanatana-dharmic (“Hindu”) Mantra given, which connects the Practitioner with their Vajra Reiki Master - a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara (not the student’s instructor). The Vajra Reiki® hand positions actually reverse the poliarity of the recipient, while covering the entire body. This is an important facet of a Vajra Reiki Treatment. (Note: Raku Kei Reiki also claims that the poliarity of the body is reversed by use of the "Master Frequency Generator Plate" and a treatment which covers the entire body is done in many other Reiki systems). 2) Shinpiden (Master Practitionership) - is attained after one year or longer experience in Vajra Reiki Shokuden. An additional Attunement is passed, which expands the Vajra Symbol-energy. The Shinpiden is empowered to teach Vajra Reiki Shokudens. There is a “Master Exercise” - similar to, but different from the “Deer Exercise” which is required, in order to maintain the integrity of the Master’s subtle body energy system - as well as to ensure safe, consistent attunements. 3) Vajra Raku-Kei Reiki Master®. (This term is also trademarked to differentiate it from “Raku-Kei Reiki”). The student is initiated into the Vajrayana Om-Ah-Hum Mantra/Symbol - and there’s a Meditation involved, which must be consistently practiced at this level of attainment. A final Attunement into the Param Agni Symbol Energy is given. The Vajra Raku-Kei Reiki® Master is empowered to teach and attune all levels of Vajra Reiki. This level is only available to Vajra Shinpidens with a minimum of one year experience.
This system is taught by Wade and other Vajra Raku-Kei Reiki® Masters.
The list continues to grow, as more and more people develop their own "healing system" and call it "Something or other" Reiki. We will no longer add to this list of Reiki Branches
