Usui Reiki Level I:

Reiki is a simple method of hands-on healing that originated in Japan. Reiki is a gentle but powerful way to access pure, spiritually guided life-force energy for self-healing, stress and pain relief. Reiki supports physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing and complements conventional medical treatment and alternative therapies. It is easy to learn and use for self, others and pets/animals. In the Reiki I class, students receive information about what Reiki is, how it works, the history of Reiki, how to do a self-treatment, traditional Japanese Reiki practices from Mikao Usui, and full body treatment session for others. Students also receive an "attunement" which is a sacred ritual that passes on the ability to access Reiki energy for healing self and others. A detailed manual and certificate of completion are provided for each student. Reiki I is open to all; no experience is necessary. This class is a prerequisite for learning other levels of Reiki.

This class is for anyone who has had Usui Reiki Master training. It is complete with two levels, two attunements, four master symbols and eight treatment symbols. Karuna Reiki® helps to heal on the emotional and spiritual levels and also can help one become more grounded. In addition, practitioners report a deeper connection to their spirit guides, angels and other ascended beings. Karuna Reiki® is a powerful therapy to include in your practice as along with traditional Reiki and other forms of energy healing and bodywork. Karuna Reiki is a powerful energy healing system that connects with the sacred and divine feminine, and the energy of compassion. Some feel that it aligns with the energy of Quan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of Compassion. Working with Karuna now and going forward will give you more tools to help yourself and others shift stuck energy, transform trauma, heal past life issues, manifest goals, bless and clear energy from spaces, and feel more grounded and focused.

Both levels of Karuna Reiki® and both attunements will be given as well as instruction and practice on the use of all twelve symbols. You will be able to teach all four levels of Karuna Reiki®, two practitioner levels and two master levels after taking this class. Practice time is included for giving treatments, using the symbols and for learning and the attunement processes. We will also be doing a Reiki meditation to be aware of and heal the Shadow Self and using chanting and toning with Karuna Reiki®.
