Reiki Trainings

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands or hands hovering right above your body” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Prerequisites

We feel it is important to experience Reiki in order to fully understand, learn provide as service to others. In order to begin Level 1, you need to demonstrate having received or experienced Reiki yourself and in person. A 6-hour minimum experiential requirement can be fulfilled by attending Reiki Healing events at Be the Change or demonstrated by your attestation of time, place and Master/Teacher at another location.

You must have a Reiki 1 certification in order to attend Reiki Level II.  You must have a Reiki 2 certification in order to attend Reiki Level 3. Your Reiki Level training must have been taken with a Reiki Master Teacher in person. We regretfully do not accept online, mail order, DVD or other distant Reiki training for qualification.

Level 1 Reiki Training

This 1-day beginning training is one of the most thorough and comprehensive available. It includes both a combination of the Japanese style as taught by Dr. Usui and Western style as introduced by Mrs. Takata. In Level 1 of this course you will be introduced to Reiki. We concentrate on opening the physical body to accept energetic life force energy channels. An attunement of First Degree Reiki raises the vibratory rate of the energy centers in the both body and in the hands. The channel is then sealed. Once you are attuned to the Reiki energy, it will never go away and you will retain it for life. Upon receiving the Level 1 attunement, you will be able to channel Reiki for healing self and others.
