Reiki I Attunement / Certification
Discover a modality of easing discomfort, restoring balance and sustaining health through this refined, ancient art of hands-on healing. Reiki is both relaxing and rejuvenating.

You will learn to treat yourself, family members, loved ones and friends.
Reiki I is open to all; no prior experience is necessary. This is a prerequisite for Reiki II and for learning the healing symbols.

Reiki Master Level
In the Reiki Master Level Class, you will learn the Master symbols for grounding, bringing the highest energy into a session and for use during the attunement process (spiritual ritual of passing the Reiki energy from the master to the student). Those seeking the Master Level usually either want to enhance the healing energy they are currently using, since the Master attunement increases the energy tenfold from Level II, and/or they know they want to teach Reiki to others. The class includes training on how to do an attunement, information on starting your own practice, and instruction on how to teach all three levels of Reiki. A packet of information will be provided.
This is a special class for those seeking a higher level in their healing journey.
Requirements:

- Have worked on at least 5 different energies in that time period. (This can include friends, family, pets, etc).
- Have been doing distance healing on a regular basis.
