Reiki 1/2/Master/Crystal Level Courses and Developmental Workshops
1-Day Reiki Level 1 (Shoden) ~ £150
Anyone can learn Reiki as it takes no special gifts, just training and attunement. We have taught Reiki to people of all backgrounds, and both men and women are welcome on all our courses.
Reiki 1 is an introductory course and on completion of your training you will be able to treat yourself, friends and family. Reiki 1 (Shoden) explores what Reiki is and how to treat yourself and others. Some students learn just this level of Reiki and find it a blessing in their daily lives as well as a good way to help their families and loved ones.
During the Reiki 1 course we look at the background and history of Reiki and focus on the Japanese and Buddhist roots of this beautiful practice. You will learn lots of fascinating facts about the life of Dr Usui, the founder, and about Buddhist and Japanese meditation, mindfulness and healing. You will hear the wonderful story about how Reiki made the journey from Japan to western countries and how Reiki has grown in its homeland.
You will learn how to work on your own healing needs. The Reiki standard hand positions are demonstrated and we practise together until you are confident with them. We explore methods of connecting to Reiki, and you will learn techniques such as hatsurei ho, gassho, the 'Reiki shower' and much more. During the course you will receive several Reiki empowerments and attunements and will have the opportunity to share your experiences and feelings.
When you are ready, we start working with each other. You will learn to focus on your intuition and feel the movement of energy (Byosen) which tells you where and how to place your hands. There is time for discussion and reflection. We take the time to meditate and explore our own experiences with Reiki.
You will need to take Reiki 2 Okuden in order to practise Reiki on the public. The first level is suitable for working on your own healing and spiritual development, and on your friends and family.

1-Day Reiki 2 (Okuden) ~ £180
Reiki 2 (Okuden) is the Reiki Practitioner level, and at the end of the course you will be confident in the use of the Reiki Symbols and the different levels of ki that they represent - physical/earthly, mental/emotional/heavenly and energetic connections. You will complete the course with a much deeper understanding of Reiki, confident in your own intuition and able to offer healing sessions to others.
We recommend that all students entering professional practice take the full A&P and Professional Standards package alongside your Reiki 2 training. This gives you the knowledge to carry out a client consultation, keep and manage client records and organise your therapy room so that you are ready to become a skilled and effective practitioner of Reiki.
The A&P course is written to National Occupational Standards at Level 3 and it will give you a comprehensive understanding of Anatomy & Physiology. The combined theory package is designed to develop your confidence and gain credibility with clients. A&P with Professional Standards is the foundation for all professional therapy training, and so it will act as a solid base to move into other therapies such as massage or reflexology if you wish to do so.
During the Reiki 2 course you will receive several empowerments (reiju) and attunements at level 2/Okuden, and there will be time to share your experiences and feelings about Reiki.
Topics covered on the course will include:
Background to Japanese medicine theory (meridians, tsubos, the different levels of ki and their functions in the person and nature, the five elements, and the 24-hour cycle of ki through the meridians)
Revision of the standard hand positions
Revision of techniques such as hatsurei ho
Meditation and mindful techniques and practice
Delivering Reiki intuitively using byosen (sensing the movement of energy)
Distance healing techniques for others and healing the distant self (e.g. past life issues you wish to resolve or moving forward in a difficult situation)
Visualisation and meditation
Making a crystal grid and using it
Japanese Reiki techniques e.g. Ketsueki Kokan
Throughout the course the emphasis is on developing your sensitivity to the energies of the symbols and developing your skills in balancing the energy flow and achieving optimum health for yourself and others. You will receive your certificate on the day, ready to insure as a practitioner of Reiki directly through us. You can do either online straight after the course.
Duration: One Day
Entry Requirements: Reiki 1
2-Day Reiki Master/Teacher Level 3 (Shinpiden) ~ £695 including the Award in Education and Training | £500 if you are already a qualified teacher
The Reiki 3 Master/Teacher level is a two-day course and we require all our Reiki Master/Teacher students to take the Award in Education and Training in order to gain a recognised teacher training qualification. This will offer you the skills to plan and teach courses with confidence and you will need a recognised teaching certificate if you wish to work for colleges or private training schools. Insurers will ask for evidence of teaching skills before granting a teaching extension. The AET is generic, which means that when you have it you can use it to teach any subject you have qualifications in. Most of the work is done online and the teaching practice element can be done in person or using video. If you are already a qualified teacher, then you do not have to take the AET.
The energies and symbols of the Master level are taught during your Master/Teacher training course. There is lots of opportunity to practise using them in healing work and develop your understanding of what they represent. There are several new healing techniques to learn to use and develop at this level, such as the Healing Attunement. Emphasis is placed upon learning to trust your intuition and listen to your higher self.
This level is also about learning to teach Reiki and time is spent on learning how to give attunements and empowerments, and on planning and presenting Reiki classes for Reiki 1 and 2. You will be given plenty of information about where to find teaching resources and I have loads of books and materials for you to browse to give you a flavour of what is out there for you to use in your own teaching. We all develop our own style - I open the door and show you where the path is but you will follow it in your own way.
When you have finished your training you will need to gain insurance which includes a teaching extension. You get your Reiki 3 certificate on completion of your 2 days' training and once your AET is complete you can register online with a teaching extension straight away, so you are ready to start planning your first course.
Duration: One Day
Entry Requirements: Reiki 1 & 2
