Shoden Level 1 Class, Japanese Usui Reiki Ryoho – 16 hrs

This spiritually-based taught class will provide you with insight and wisdom to assist you throughout daily life as you connect with Reiki. You will learn about the origins of Reiki, what Reiki is, how to use it, and how to create a strong connection with this spiritual energy. Japanese Usui Reiki Ryoho includes many beautiful meditations which help strengthen the Reiki connection.

Reiki supports spiritual growth while delivering healing on emotional, mental and physical levels. It also delivers feelings of peace, compassion and unconditional love; it increases ones clarity and self-assurance; and encourages a more balanced lifestyle. You will feel supported in endless ways by inviting the healing gifts of Reiki into your life. Because of these many positive attributes, Reiki is offered in many hospitals.

Shoden, or Reiki 1, is primarily thought of for self-care. In addition, you will learn how to deliver Reiki to your loved ones, pets, plants, food and more.

Each class is unique based on student input and questions. You will feel deeply connected to Reiki after this class. In class you will learn about the following:

  • Mikao Usui Sensei and the origin of Reiki
  • Reiki Principles
  • History of Reiki
  • What Reiki is
  • Benefits of Reiki
  • Several Japanese meditations to build and support Reiki energy
  • Several Japanese Reiki techniques to build and support Reiki energy
  • How to conduct a chair Reiki treatment
  • How to conduct a table/bed Reiki treatment
  • How to establish a good personal Reiki routine

You will receive four individual Reiki attunements during class, as was done by Chujiro Hayashi Sensei (Usui’s last attuned Reiki student). These individual experiences allow you to go deeper and deeper within the inner heart of Reiki.

The value of a two day Reiki class is that it gives you additional time to create a strong Reiki foundation. The second day is for review, to have questions answered, and to go deeper within your Reiki practice.

I offer monthly Reiki Circles at the Community Church of Durham, NH which provides the opportunity to practice Reiki while serving the public. Reiki study groups are offered as well.

This class is also good for all level Reiki practitioners to learn about and incorporate the beautiful Japanese traditions of connecting with Reiki.)
