Course Description

Mastering Reiki: Channeling Universal Energy for Holistic Healing

Dive deep into the ancient art of Reiki and learn to harness the universal energy that permeates all living things. This transformative course will empower you with the skills and knowledge to touch lives – including your own – with a healing force that transcends conventional medicine.

Reiki, a Japanese practice with origins that trace back thousands of years, operates on the belief that unseen energy flows through our bodies and is responsible for our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This course meticulously covers not only the techniques of channeling this energy effectively but also the underlying philosophy and components that make Reiki the globally respected practice it is today.

Understanding the intricate network of chakras, or energy centers, within the body is pivotal for any Reiki practitioner. Our course delves into the seven primary chakras, elucidating their functions, the organs they govern, and the potential ailments that arise from blockages. Each chakra corresponds to specific Reiki hand placements, and as you progress, you will gain comprehensive insights into all 12 of these placements and their interconnections with the chakras.

A highlight of this course is the introduction to two quintessential Reiki techniques:

  1. The Reiki Finish - This technique is employed at the culmination of a Reiki session, aiming to balance the recipient's circulation, ensuring that energy flows unobstructedly throughout their body.

  2. The Dry Bathing Technique - A self-purifying method, this technique enables the practitioner to remain grounded, centered, and energized after a session. It serves as a reminder to be present and harness the renewed vigor that Reiki bestows.
