Elaine Hamilton – Online Presentation: “The transmission of Reiki”

Elaine discovered Reiki 30 years ago and was delighted to have found such a powerful self-healing technique. She became a Reiki Master in 1995 and juggled teaching Reiki with a busy corporate career. She stepped away from her corporate career to set up The Reiki Centre and has since dedicated her work to teaching Reiki and advocating for high quality Reiki education free from dogma.

Elaine has trained thousands of Reiki students and over 80 Reiki Masters via her vigorous Teacher training program.

She is author of “Reiki, Pure and Simple” a down to earth and accessible introduction to Reiki, and shares many resources and articles on her blog and YouTube channel. 

Her latest book "Reiki - A Path to Freedom" outlines the spiritual aspect of Reiki that is often side-stepped or forgotten. Reiki is essentially and originally a spiritual practice based on self-knowledge, as Usui (the founder of Reiki) put it, Reiki is "the secret method for gaining happiness".

Elaine takes an active interest in supporting the evolution of Reiki. She is a founding member of The Usui Reiki Association, Singapore (TURA), and has authored two global Reiki consumer research projects, the latest one published in 2020.
