Reiki Classes & Workshops

Reiki Classes

I offer instruction in Usui Reiki Levels I and II, following the teaching curriculum set by the International Center for Reiki Training.  The tradition I follow is that of the ”Western” form of Reiki, which was brought from Japan to America by Reiki Master Hawayo Takata in the late 1930’s and passed down by a succession of Reiki Masters, with some additional Level II practices incorporated by Reiki Master William Lee Rand.  I also explain some of the original Japanese techniques and their context for Reiki practice.  Each Reiki training session is a single-day workshop with plenty of opportunity to practice channeling Reiki to yourself and others.  Along with the necessary Reiki energetic attunements, students will receive all the information, tools and ongoing guidance to practice Reiki with confidence.

Topics and techniques to be covered in the Reiki I training include:

  • History of Reiki
  • Discussion of “Ki” (”chi” or life force energy) and how Reiki practitioners channel it
  • Hand positions for Reiki treatments (treating yourself and others)
  • Discussion and demonstration of traditional Japanese Reiki techniques, including the Gassho meditation, Reiji-ho (process used to prepare onself for a Reiki treatment), Chiryo (using one’s inner guidance when giving a Reiki treatment) and Kenyoku (cleansing one’s energy before or after a treatment)
  • Spiritual protection and “grounding” techniques

Topics and techniques to be covered in the Reiki II training class include:

  • History of and theories behind the use of Level II symbols
  • Learning to use  Level II symbols
  • Distance healing
  • Discussion and demonstration of traditional Japanese Reiki techniques, including the Gassho meditation, Reiji-ho (process used to prepare onself for a Reiki treatment), Chiryo (using one’s inner guidance when giving a Reiki treatment) and Kenyoku (cleansing one’s energy before or after a treatment)
  • Spiritual protection and “grounding” techniques

Class sizes will be kept small (no more than 3-4 students) in order to ensure sufficient time for the attunement process, teaching hand placements and discussion.  Students will also have an opportunity to practice their skills in the classroom setting, which is essential for developing sensitivity and confidence in your ability to channel Reiki to yourself and others.  I hold ongoing Reiki circles specifically for my students so that I can provide ongoing guidance, and to encourage students to practice on and with each other in community.

Workshops

Reiki Techniques - Byosen Scanning

Byosen is a Japanese word for the energetic frequency emitted from a body part that is sick, injured or stressed. This is what Reiki practitioners feel when they are channeling Reiki to themselves or others.

Learning to effectively perceive and work with byosen will help benefit an existing Reiki practice and also increase sensitivity to energetic changes in the body as Reiki is being channeled.

This workshop is designed for Reiki practitioners, primarily Reiki I& II, who would like to learn how to increase their perceptiveness and sensitivity in their hands to enhance their healing skills.  However, other energy healers or those interested in learning more about how this works are welcome to attend.

The five different levels of byosen will be discussed, how it manifests energetically and there will also be training in the scanning technique using the chakras to help increase awareness and sensitivity in the hands.  Participants will have the opportunity to practice byosen scanning on each other.

Cost: $25  (Dates TBA)
