WHAT IS REIKI?
Rei-ki, meaning ‘universal life-force energy’ is a wonderfully simple and effective form of hands-on healing, that anyone can learn. You can learn Reiki for your own self-healing, to help friends and family, and/or to work with clients on a professional basis.
At the subtlest level, human beings are comprised of particles and waves of energy. Slower, denser waves make up our physical body and faster high frequency waves radiate outwards to form our auric field (or ‘aura’). Unresolved symptoms, injuries, emotions or trauma show up as disruptions to the flow of energy in and around a person’s body. A person’s energy field reflects their whole state of being and working directly on an energetic level is a fast and effective way to bring about change on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Reiki practitioners learn how to connect with and channel high frequency universal energy (the vibration of unconditional love) to heal and rebalance to their own or another person’s energy field. The Reiki energy naturally flows to the areas of deficiency or blockage in a person’s field – where healing is most needed. Reiki gets to the root of a problem, as opposed to just providing temporary physical or mental relief.
THE BENEFITS OF LEARNING REIKI:
Reiki supports the receiver to deeply relax, release tension, stress and anxiety, helps reduce pain and inflammation, and gradually restores balance on all levels of a person’s being (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual).
Reiki is now increasingly used in hospitals, hospices, work places and therapeutic settings to help patients find natural relief from pain, stress and suffering – and in many cases to heal illness from the inside out.
It is gentle enough to use with babies, children and pets, and can be a great comfort for those going through the dying process – supporting a deeper sense of ease, acceptance and peace.
Once you have been attuned to and learnt Reiki, you are empowered with a healing modality (literally at your fingertips!) that will stay with you for life.
COURSE DETAILS:
REIKI LEVEL ONE (Foundation level – 12 hours.) Learn how to give hands-on healing to yourself and another person.
Can be taken as a stand-alone course or be followed later by level two for those who want to practice professionally or who are also interested in distance healing. (NB a minimum period of 21 days must be left in between levels one and two).
Reiki Level One course content:
The history of Reiki;
Four personal attunements to help you connect with and channel Reiki energy;
Learn how to perform a full hands-on healing treatment on yourself;
How to carry out a full hands-on healing treatment on another person;
Learn how to interpret insights/information you may receive during a treatment;
Time to practise, self-reflect and ask questions;
A weekend of self-healing and personal growth;
Practical information for those who are interested in practising Reiki professionally (building experience and confidence, renting clinic space, insurance, etc);
Professional certificate and manual;
Ongoing support as and when needed.
Please note: I teach Reiki Level 1 using gentle touch, which is how it was originally taught (rather than ‘off the body’). Safe, caring touch is an important part of the healing process, except in cases where it is not possible (eg when working with someone with severe burns or an open wound). After the course, you will also be equipped to work ‘off the body’ in cases where you feel that this is necessary.
REIKI LEVEL TWO (Advanced level – 9 hours) Learn three ancient symbols which enable you to send Reiki DISTANTLY across space and time, as well as work more directly on the mental/emotional layers of a person’s being.
Reiki Level Two course content:
Learn how to send Reiki healing distantly across space and time – for example, to a person who is not physically present with you, to the healing of a past situation or unresolved emotional upset, to a smooth future journey/job interview, etc.
The memorising of three powerful symbols – one to help strengthen and focus the healing energy, another for specific mental/emotional healing and the final one to enable you to send Reiki distantly.
One personal attunement to help you integrate the symbols into your consciousness so that you can use them anytime you like;
Practise sending reiki distantly to people and situations, give and receive feedback, learn how to trust in and interpret the intuitive messages you receive during sessions;
Learn how to use the first and second symbols in both hands-on and distant treatments to increase the healing effect;
Learn and practise a powerful form of targeted mental/emotional healing – both in person and from a distance;
Professional certificate and course manual;
Ongoing support as and when needed.
Prerequisites for Usui Reiki Level 2: Usui Reiki Level One (with 4 attunements). NB: if you have studied a different form of Reiki from a different lineage – eg Tibetan or Rainbow Reiki – then you will need to take Level One again in the Usui tradition before proceeding to Level Two, as each lineage has a different attunement system, symbols and quality of energy.
NB A minimum of 21 days must be left in between Level One and Two to allow time for your energy field to adjust and integrate after the attunements.
“I attended Silvie’s Reiki one and two courses, inspired by the distance healing that I had experienced from her. Silvie is an excellent teacher with a clear and light-hearted approach to learning, accompanied by a great healing presence during the practical work. The course gives an fluent grounding in this healing art form and allows the student to continue to practice and evolve in their own time. Highly recommended for anybody, thinking of pursuing Reiki as a working healing practitioner, or simply for their own personal well being and interest.” – James, Oxford
