Level 1: Practitioner Training
This introductory Reiki workshop provides the fundamental skills and knowledge required to become a Reiki Level 1 practitioner. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive, energy-based healing modality that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being.
Reiki is based on the belief that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is the source of our vitality. When this energy is low, we are more likely to become stressed or ill. Reiki aims to activate the natural healing processes of the body and restore physical, mental, and emotional well-being by facilitating the flow of this life force energy.
In this training, participants will learn:
The history and principles of Usui Reiki from both spiritual and scientific perspectives.
The fundamental Reiki hand positions for self-treatment and treatment of others.
How to perform a complete Reiki treatment session.
Techniques for clearing, balancing, and aligning the body's energy channels.
The importance of self-care and daily Reiki practice.
Ethical considerations and guidelines for Reiki practitioners.
Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, participants will receive an attunement to the Reiki energy and gain the necessary skills to begin their journey as a Reiki Level 1 practitioner. Upon completion of the training, students will receive a Certificate of Completion and be able to provide Reiki treatments to themselves and others safely and effectively.
No prior experience with energy healing or Reiki is required. This workshop is suitable for those new to Reiki, as well as those looking to deepen their existing Reiki practice.
