What is Reiki Training?

Everyone can do reiki. All you need to be is open, willing, guided and attuned 

 Reiki Training

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. This is where reiki training comes in…

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

You do not have to have any religious or spiritual beliefs to perform or receive reiki. It is a natural universal force open to everyone. Simply wanting to heal on your own personal level or to help others heal is very helpful and can boost the healing/enlightenment process.

What is involved in Reiki training?

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an “attunement” given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve one’s health and enhance the quality of life. Being attuned to the elemental healing rays, accelerates your personal and spiritual development.

Tera-Mai ä is a system of standardised attunements so as to ensure the quality of the energy transfer. Only a Master who is entitled to use the Tera-Mai attunement process can pass on full energy and purity of these attunements. Tera-mai reiki was discovered by Kathleen Milner, passed down to my master and then passed to me. So the lineage is strong.

The 3 Degrees of Reiki Training

In order to assimilate the energies, the attunements are taken in four stages, called degrees. At the first degree, you will be individually attuned to the healing energies and taught how to work on yourself and others. Many people take this as part of their journey of self discovery and enlightenment and have found it very helpful alnong their path.

The second degree attunement enables you to channel stronger energy more quickly. You are introduced to the use of symbols and taught how to send healing through time and space. This is the practitioner level. So the energy can be used on yourself, friends and family as well as in your healing practice.

The third degree is Mastership level and is a very powerful initiation. Many experience greater spiritual and psychic awareness as a result.

The forth stage is master teacher. So you can teach and attune others.

Training and attunements are held over 1-2 days depending on the levels. Then further knowledge can be obtained in the healing workshops that I run once a month. Many of my students have found this very helpful as there is a lot to learn and this can take months. So joining in the workshops is recommended but not essential.

I have small groups between 2-4  and in the Reiki attunemment days all the students will be at the same level. In the workshops levels vary and this is a great help to new students as it boosts their experience, knowledge, confidence and learning.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and any personal requirements. I look forward to welcoming you on a wonderful journey. A journey of peace, joy and contentment.
