Course overview

Reiki encourages your body’s natural ability to heal itself, and is channelled through the practitioner’s hands. The Reiki energy will then go as deeply into your body as it needs, gently helping it to restore itself. Reiki is particularly good for treating stress and anxiety but there is no health problem – physical, mental or emotional – for which Reiki cannot offer relief and frequent release. Reiki is a method of healing which enables you not only to heal others but particularly encourages you to use what you learn to heal yourself. This course is in three separate and distinct sections being levels 1, 2, and 3 (Master/Teacher).

This first level examines the background and history of Reiki and how Reiki heals. It looks at the different forms of treatment – self-healing and treating others – and describes the required hand positions. This level also covers the preparation for the attunement process.
