This small-group (max of 5 students) Reiki I training takes place over two days: Sundays, February 20 & 27 from 1-4pm (EST) via Zoom.
The week in-between the two classes provides time for students to internalize the foundational ideas of Reiki and start a mindful Reiki practice with emphasis on Self Care and deep, embodied listening.
Reiki I is presented here as a gateway into a mindful method of engaging with the complexity of the world, an engagement that ultimately increases the health of mind and body.
Students will receive:
An historical overview of Reiki and its transmission into the United States, including a critical interpretation of the way it has been “Westernized”
A primer in the Buddhist and Shinto philosophies that support the Reiki practice
Clear instruction on how to practice Reiki, with special emphasis on using Reiki as a technique of Self Care
Guided assignments for the week between the two classes based on the premise of “deep listening”
