Reiki in the training and certification process for Reiki, a Japanese energy healing modality that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and holistic wellness. Each level builds upon the previous one, deepening the practitioner’s understanding of Reiki principles, techniques, and applications.
Here’s an overview of what is typically covered in Reiki courses:
Reiki:
- Introduction to Reiki: Participants are introduced to the history, origins, and principles of Reiki, including its founder, Mikao Usui, and the spiritual lineage of Reiki masters.
- Energy Basics: Students learn about the concept of energy, including the human energy field (aura), chakras (energy centers), and the flow of life force energy (ki or chi) in the body.
- Reiki Attunement: The primary focus of Reiki is receiving a Reiki attunement from the Reiki master teacher. This attunement opens the energy channels in the body and connects the student to the Reiki energy, enabling them to channel healing energy for self-treatment and the treatment of others.

- Self-Treatment: Students learn how to perform a complete Reiki self-treatment, using hand positions to treat different parts of the body and promote relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being.
- Ethics and Guidelines: The course covers ethical considerations for practicing Reiki, including client confidentiality, boundaries, and the importance of self-care for practitioners.
