About
Reiki
The word Reiki describes both energy and a non-invasive healing or
stress reduction technique used to maintain health by channeling this
energy. The word Reiki means universal life energy. The practice of
Reiki originated, according to tradition, around 3,000 B.C. in what we
now call Tibet. Some suggest Reiki was the foundation of Acupuncture and
many other healing methods that aid in the flow of energy. The
difference between Reiki and other healing systems is that Reiki energy
comes through, not from, the practitioner. The Reiki practitioner does
not direct energy, but the client “draws” the Reiki energy according
to their needs.
Reiki
and Religion
Reiki works whether you believe it will or not. Also, Reiki has no dogma
to believe. It is compatible with all religious faiths and paths. Once
again, the energy is not the practitioner’s own, but the Universal
Life Energy passing through the practitioner on its way to the client.
As it passes through, it works on the practitioner, imparting benefits
similar to those the client receives.
The Degrees
of Reiki
Reiki is a complete method for activating and learning to use the
universal life energy to promote healing, personal growth,
transformation, and enlightenment. The Reiki method has been kept intact
in its essence as it has been preserved and transmitted through the
centuries. The person completing First Degree Reiki may stop at that
point and be a Certified Practitioner, or may continue on through the
series to whatever level is best suited to his/her needs. The choice to
go on into deeper levels is an individual one.
First Degree
Reiki
While each of us is born aware of the natural flow of universal energy,
most of us are gradually conditioned to fear and limitation beliefs that
block that awareness and allow us to forget our natural connection. In
First Degree Reiki training, the Master/Teacher facilitates the
reawakening of each student’s awareness of that energy flow and
his/her connection to it through a combination of discussion, light
meditation, Reiki attunements, and hands-on practice.
First Degree Reiki, the
basic course, is usually taught in one full-day seminar or two four-hour
sessions on consecutive days and includes one or two separate
energy-activating attunements per person and complete training in the
use of the hands-on Reiki technique to treat self and others.
My First Degree students
receive a handbook at the beginning of the training and a certificate
upon completion.
While fees vary with
instructors and geographical areas, it is my intention to make Reiki
training available to anyone who seeks it. My standard fee for First
Degree training is $108.00. 6 CEU’s
approved by the NM Counseling and Therapy Board and Social Work Board.
Second
Degree Reiki
The Second Degree of Reiki is available only to those who have completed
First Degree training. It is recommended that a person practice at least
21 or 30 days before advancing to this level. Second Degree Reiki grants
a person greater flexibility while increasing the effectiveness o
treatment to a considerable extent.
In Second Degree Reiki,
the student learns techniques to intensify and focus the energy flow,
deal with deep-seated emotional and mental problems, and a highly
effective technique for absentee-healing treatments. The distant-healing
technique is analogous to learning to send light energy to a specific
receiver in much the same way that radio or television signals are
transmitted.
Second Degree Reiki is
also usually taught in one full-day seminar or in two four-hour sessions
on consecutive days and includes one or two attunements. My fee for
Second Degree training is $175.00. 6 CEU’s
approved by the NM Counseling and Therapy Board and Social Work Board.
Third degree
Reiki
The Third Degree of Reiki is called, traditionally, the Master level. At
this level of Reiki training, the person is ready to learn the process
of doing attunements. The ancient process of doing these energy
activations has been preserved in a formula for tapping a higher order
of light energy. Third Degree Reiki students are then instructed in
effective methods of training practitioners. This level also includes
one or two attunements.
Class time for Third
Degree Reiki is flexible according to the number of students in the
class, but is usually taught in one full-day session or two four-hour
sessions on consecutive days. My standard fee for Master Level Reiki
training is $300.00. 6 CEU’s
approved by the NM Counseling and Therapy Board and Social Work Board.
