Reiki (pronouced "ray-kee") is often translated as "universal life-force". Practitioners utilize this energy flow to bring health and balance to themselves and others. It is a literal hands-on approach that promotes relaxation and healing on all levels - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Anyone can learn how to use Reiki because it is not taught in the strict sense of the word, but transferred from teacher to pupil. These energy exchanges are called "attunements". With each attunement, the spiritual frequency is raised to a higher vibration and imparts the ability to transmit healing energy to oneself ad others. Reiki does not involve changing religious beliefs.
For even more information, please see The International Center for Reiki Training.
The Reiki I workshop explores such topics as the history of Reiki, why Reiki is different from other hands-on techniques, the intelligent nature of Reiki energy, and the hand positions for self-healing and healing others. Four attunements are given over two days and will allow you to use Reiki for self and others. Practice and application will be the primary focus of these workshops.
Please note: This is a two-day workshop. The second day of the workshop is held one week after the first.
Cost: $150
