Reiki Training, Level I

Reiki (universal life force energy) is a natural form of healing which originated over 2500 years ago. The Reiki system is a gentle “laying-on of hands” healing process which helps to restore balance and harmony in our hearts and lives as well as promoting stress reduction. Reiki supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself, balances life-giving energy and fosters mental and spiritual well-being.

The First Degree Reiki Training includes:

• An overview of the meaning, purposes, effects and history of Reiki
• Procedures for giving a complete Reiki treatment to others and oneself
• Supervised practice sessions: giving and receiving a full Reiki treatment using over thirty hand positions
• First Degree Reiki Certificate

Receiving at least one Reiki session prior to the training is recommended.
