“Reiki Is Love”- Mikao Usui
To choose to learn Reiki is to say ‘yes’ to the Universe that you are ready for a spiritual awakening. It is saying yes that you are ready to connect with your true self on a deeper level than you may have felt was possible.
Usually when we people hear the term Reiki, what comes to mind is the hands on healing or energy healing that Reiki Practitioners may advertise or offer. However, this practical application of Reiki for healing ourselves and others, is just one face of Reiki. Reiki is a Spiritual path of its own which draws upon the mysteries of nature, the universe, the human spirit, life force energy and ultimately, the discovery that we are all one.
Reiki is a Japanese healing system that promotes wellness across all for planes of healing. These being; the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes. This is why Reiki is known as a holistic system, because Reiki and the Reiki practitioner approach all beings as a whole system where mind, body and spirit are inextricably linked. This is where many Eastern approaches to healing differ from twentieth century allopathic Western approaches, with the latter looking to treat tangible symptoms of an ailment rather than looking to promote wellness across the four planes of healing.
If you are at a place in your life where you are feeling disconnected from your true sense of self, your path or a purpose, or if you are feeling that its time to listen to your soft inner voice that says it’s time to discover these things, then the Reiki path if practised over time will lead you home to your truth. Reiki is a healing path which enables us to turn our lnner light on and shine it bright and proud! When attuned to Reiki, we get to demonstrate this light and compassion,which are so needed on this planet.
I am currently holding courses which teach and attune to Reiki Level 1. I teach this course in Brighton and London. I will be teaching from the two main Reiki lineages which originate from Japan and from the West. These are called Usui Reiki Ryoho and Usui Shiki Ryoho. Incorporating both lineages into your practise will give you a very comprehensive tool box of theories and techniques which will help develop your own Reiki practice.
As a Reiki Master Teacher, I whole heartedly believe that the best way to understand Reiki and energy is to experience it yourself. You could read a thousand Reiki books (and there are some fabulous ones out there!), research online, watch online attunements, but this will not be an authentic experience of how Reiki feels like for you, how it manifests as sensation in your physical body and energy body. For this reason, I teach Reiki Level 1 over a full weekend course (16 hours) so that you can feel the energy, practise technique such as breathing and meditations, and begin to learn to work with Reiki for yourself as path of self-development. Some Reiki 1 courses happen over one day or even a few hours online, but I have learned from my own experience as a student that an immersive yet relaxed course with more contact hours with a light-hearted teacher (like myself!) is a more helpful, enjoyable and experiential way to learn Reiki.
This course will be compliant with the Reiki Core Curriculum and National Occupational Standards. Some shorter courses do not meet with these requirements.
This Reiki Level 1 course is the first step on the Reiki journey. It will be held over a weekend (10am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday) and will initiate and introduce you to the system of Reiki. You will be attuned to Reiki in a ceremony so that you can receive universal energy and connect to its flow. Reiki Level 1 is a course which primarily focuses on personal development, Reiki for self healing and sharing Reiki with family and friends.
***The Covid 19 situation is a fluid one with restrictions and changes being made almost every few weeks. This event will take place subject to COVID-19 social distancing still being at one metre between people. The course will still run if this measure is in place and absolute minimum contact will be made from teacher to student when the attunement ceremonies happen, and students will not touch other students but follow the hands-off Reiki protocols. If a lock down is enforced again, you will be refunded.
