Reiki is an ancient form of hands on healing, with its origins in India and the East. It was rediscovered by the scholar Dr Mikao Usui in the late 19th century.
Reiki, a two-syllable word meaning:
Rei – spiritual consciousness, God’s wisdom or the Higher Power + Ki – life force energy = Universal Life Force.
When hands are placed on the body for the purpose of healing, the energy is activated. The wisdom of Reiki then goes to work to bring about healing.
There are three degrees of training in Reiki.
Reiki 1
The student receives the first Attunement and guidelines of how to use Reiki.
Reiki 2
The student receives the second Attunement and learns three of the five Reiki symbols, what they mean and how to use them. These symbols help practitioners to be able to do Absent/Distant Healing.
Reiki 3
The student receives the third Attunement and the final two of the five Reiki symbols.
In this level one learns how to be able to teach and give Attunements.
As a Level 3 trained Reiki teacher, I offer individual and collective classes in the three degrees of training.
I look forward to sharing with you this simple healing modality.
