Reiki

Explore Your Healing Potential, Discover the Healer Within

Life energy flows in, around, and through the body, and deeply affecting our entire being. Because these flows are at the core of who we are, blocks or imbalances in these flows can cause physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual illness. The healing art of Reiki (pronounced “RAY-key”) helps clear and balance these energetic flow patterns to support wholeness and well-being. Anyone can learn to give Reiki. We hope you’ll join us in discovering your healing potential and the healer within.

What our students have to say

The Reiki workshop gave me self confidence. It brought me to connection with source and all my guides - Awesome! - wept with gratitude. It has opened up and made real my ultimate dream of being one who heals others and alleviates a bit of the suffering in the world in a very personal one/one way.

The schedule and format were perfect. I really appreciate how Haleya & Thom helped me feel very confident that I would be able to do this! You are very instrumental for my healing path. Thank you so much, it was an amazing experience.

Reiki FAQs

What is Reiki? Expand

"Rei" means Life Force and "ki" means energy. Reiki is the Life Force Energy that we are all formed from and surrounded by - the animating energy of the Universe. Reiki is a hands-on healing modality that connects us with this universal life force energy that animates all living things. When one’s life force is low or restricted in its flow, one is more vulnerable to illness. The healing energy of Reiki flows through the hands of the Reiki practitioner.

Reiki heals by flowing through a recipient’s energy pathways (meridians and chakras), clearing energy blockages, and raising a person's energetic vibration. Reiki is both powerful and gentle. During a Reiki session, the recipient lies fully dressed on a massage table. The practitioner gently places her hands on or near different areas of the body as she channels the healing energy. People may experience warmth or soothing vibration emanating from the practitioner's hands.

A Reiki session is very calming and nurturing, and often people feel a deep sense of relaxation, similar to a meditative state. 

What is unique about Reiki? Expand
  • Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive system in which the recipient’s system chooses how much Reiki it wants to receive, and is a co-collaborator in the healing process.
  • Reiki works on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
  • Reiki is compatible with all belief systems.
  • Reiki supports and enhances all other healing methods.  
Do I have to take a class to learn Reiki? Expand

You must be attuned to the Reiki energy in order to use Reiki. There are many other forms of healing, but to use Reiki, one must be attuned specifically to the Reiki frequency. 

This can only be done by receiving the sacred attunement process by a certified Reiki Master Teacher.

Does one have to be "gifted" to learn Reiki? Expand

Anyone can learn Reiki, because we all have the capacity to share energy. We are social beings and when we reach out with positive intent to touch someone, we are naturally give healing energy. We think of this as kindness or compassion and it is. It is a non-verbal energy that is being transmitted.

Learning to channel Reiki allows you to open to more of that natural healing life force energy passing through you to others.

Why does Reiki work? Expand

At a very simple level we can understand that stress exacerbates every single medical condition. Science has proven that Reiki invokes the relaxation response or the parasympathetic nervous system response.

Therefore, Reiki helps us to relax, let go, and renew ourselves, as it helps our system operate at its optimum, helping to stabilize our illnesses or to heal. 

Why should I learn Reiki? Expand

Learning Reiki will not only help your family and friends, but it can be used with animals, elderly, children and your patients and clients. Reiki is also a wonderful self-help tool that will help you relax, restore and renew yourself! 

If I take Reiki I will I have to go on to take Reiki II? Expand

No, each class is a complete class in and of itself. Going on to take Reiki II is a matter of personal choice. An actively practicing Reiki I practitioner may have more to offer than a Reiki II or Reiki Master Practitioner that hasn’t been practicing! 

I studied Reiki many years ago but I haven’t really used it much if at all, but I want to start practicing again. Should I go ahead and take the next level or should I repeat the level I was trained in?  Expand

If you haven’t been practicing, it would be wise to repeat the course. In this way you’ll receive a Reiki re-attunement which will raise your energy vibration and help you feel more charged up with the Reiki energy. That will help you feel you are ready for the next level. 

 

What are all these different levels of Reiki? Expand

Reiki is broken up into 3 or 4 levels depending on the lineage you train with. You must take each course consecutively. In the lineage we teach from a Reiki I practitioner waits a minimum of 4-6 weeks before going on to Reiki II. A Reiki II practitioner waits usually 2-6 months before going on to become a Reiki Master. If you would like to become a Reiki Master Teacher, it normally takes 6 months to a year to complete this process.

But remember each class is a complete class in and of itself and one may feel that Reiki I gives them all the skills they need, while some go through all levels to become a Reiki Master or Reiki Master Teacher.

Can I receive professional CEs for Reiki classes? Expand

We offer AMTA, NCTMB, and MA nursing CEs for all of our Reiki classes. The cost for your CE certificate is $15.00. You can pay that fee when you sign up for the class. A certificate will be mailed to you once you successfully complete the class.
