Common Questions

What is Reiki?

The word Reiki means universal life force energy. This is the energy that runs through all living things. Reiki is an ancient hands-on healing discipline that works with this energy. After going through the First Degree initiations you have the ability to work with yourself and others using this energy. Reiki will fine-tune your energy field allowing the energy to flow in a more precise manner. Once you have gone through these first initiations a 21 day cleansing period begins. This will be different for each person depending on what their body's healing priority is. Reiki will begin to heal you physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually and will always go to the deepest cause first, ultimately bringing you back to wholeness.
 

 

What is First Degree Reiki Training?
   $150 - 12 Hours of Class Time
In the First Degree training you will learn how to practice self treatment, give a full Reiki treatment, and learn the history of Reiki, how it found its way to the West, and the ways it is being practiced today. You will receive four Reiki initiations from the Reiki Master teaching the class. Each initiation will progressively open you to the Reiki energy and begin a 21-day healing process.
 

 

What is Second Degree Reiki Training?
   $500 - 12 Hours of Class Time
Learning the symbols and how to send Reiki from a distance is the main focus of Second Degree training. There is one initiation during the training, and you will be introduced to three of the four sacred Reiki symbols. These symbols will deepen your relationship to the Reiki energy, and you will use them when sending Reiki from a distance.
 
Second Degree training is a deepening of your commitment to the Reiki practice. After First Degree training one focuses primarily on healing oneself. Second Degree offers another level of working with the energy and often the Reiki practitioner will begin working with others.
 
There is a minimum period of three months between attending First and Seoncd degree trainings. If you choose to study with the same Reiki Master for Second Degree, they will help you access your level of readiness for Second Degree
 

 

Can You Hurt Yourself with Reiki?

No. Reiki is self-regulating. Your body is an intelligent system and knows how much it needs and where to direct the energy
 

 

Are There Times You Should Not Apply Reiki?

Reiki accelerates the healing process, so the only time it shouldn't be used is when a bone is broken and has not yet been set.
 

 

What Are the Benfits of a Reiki Treatment?

Reiki will help reduce physical and emotional pain and stress, promote spiritual growth and creativity, balance your energy, release energy blocks, create greater vitality, and relieve illness.
