Reiki level 1 & 2

16 Live relevant hands on CE hours 

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.

I'm Attuned Now What?

Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a “life force”, and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Once you have been attuned to the Reiki energy you can consciously influence the energy fields of others for their highest good.  But many new practitioners are still uncertain how to use their new skills.

In this class we will use Hands-On palpation with Reiki, tuning forks, and singing bowls to facilitate healing. Gain confidence in holding space and using the tools of the trade.
