We only take a maximum of four people per class. Working with Reiki is simply working the energy of the life force of the Universe. We use Reiki to transmit healing through the hands, based upon simple, ancient healing techniques. Reiki uses specific hand positions on or above parts of the body that correspond to major organs and energy centers, such as the heart or adrenal glands. The purpose of learning Reiki is to increase your own self-healing abilities; and it is helpful for any sort of ailment - whether it be physical, mental or emotional. We can use Reiki for any situation; the effects of stress on our health, from skin rashes to migraine headaches and pain relief. It is also helpful for people who have experienced emotional, physical or mental trauma. Reiki works within all religious or spiritual beliefs and cultures and can be used in conjunction with all mainstream approaches to healing. First Degree Is about self healing and invites the student to begin working towards wholeness, exploring the healing of mind, body, emotions and spirit, inner peace and energy balancing. Students will receive healing and four attunements during the day Reiki Second Degree Builds upon the experience of Reiki I. Students are introduced to three Reiki symbols and will practice using them over the two days. More healing exchange is given and students are introduced to ways in which Reiki works with other traditions of healing and the ways in which our energy systems work. There will be opportunity to work with Reiki for healing in nature and in the home. Students will be encouraged to give each other treatments and to discuss their experiences of giving and receiving treatments.
