  • The Reiki process is a simple method of hands-on healing as developed by Mikao Usui, a monk from Kyoto, Japan. Reiki energy flows through the body to the hands of the Reiki healer and transfers into the cells of the person receiving the treatment. This energy is then used to normalize body functions and helps to reestablish balance and harmony in the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes.

Course structure

This is a two-day workshop designed to prepare students for the flow of healing energy. This process protects them from either transmitting or absorbing any negative energetic patterns.

Over two days you will learn, practice and hear the oral history of Usui Shiki Ryoho. You will receive initiations which will enable you to practice treatments on yourself and others.
