Reiki Classes
Of all the non-standard, non-Western healing practices, Reiki is perhaps the most intuitive and, for this reason, it has many different faces. Beginning with a historical evaluation of Reiki and its migration to the United States during the middle of the 20th Century, I honor the different forms of Reiki practice while forwarding my own approach and philosophy.
To practice Reiki is to partake of The One and, in so doing, to sense the millions of finely woven threads connecting all forms of life. My Reiki classes provide Western and Eastern philosophical insights capable of supporting students’ unique personalities and approaches to the art, as well as hands-on guidance through the practical elements of a Reiki session.
Brief Overview of Each Reiki Class
*The classes below are currently being offered as 1-on-1 courses, although we occasionally offer a small-group course. Typically, Will teaches each course in two sessions (each of which usually lasts for 2-3 hours) separated by one week. The interim week gives students time to integrate and practice Reiki. However, Will can also adapt a class to meet in one session or in two sessions over two days. Please reach out with questions!
Reiki I: In this “instant immersion” class you’ll learn about the history of Usui Reiki and approaches for applying this energetic healing practice. In his teaching, Will emphasizes the necessity of self-care and provides the first of three Reiki attunements. After completing this class, students will be able to confidently practice Reiki on themselves and begin to explore the nuances of practicing on others.
Reiki II: This class deepens students’ Reiki healing practice by delving into the spiritual beliefs that support the Usui Reiki system. Part of this deepening includes learning about and practicing Distance Reiki healing, which is an integral part of starting one’s own work as a Reiki practitioner. This class includes the second of three Reiki attunements.
Reiki III: Designed for individuals who are interested in the act of teaching Reiki and who want to explore the subtlest vibrations of Reiki energy, this class completes the cycle of three Reiki attunements and culminates in the attainment of “Reiki Master.” This term, however, is loaded with historical weight and receives careful consideration during the class. “Mastery,” as such, is not the goal of this class. Instead, students will leave with an appreciation of the art of teaching and a deep respect for the premise of not-knowing.
