Course Description

Discover the foundations of Reiki, a gentle Japanese energy-healing practice that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. This Reiki Level 1 course is designed for beginners and introduces students to the history, principles, and hands-on techniques of Reiki healing.

The word Reiki (pronounced "RAY-kee") is made up of two Japanese words:

  • Rei: Meaning "universal," "soul," or "spirit." It represents the higher, boundless intelligence or divine power that connects all things.

  • Ki: Meaning "life energy." This is the vital, nonphysical force that animates all living beings—often referred to as qi or prana in other cultures.

During the course, students will learn how to channel Reiki energy for self-healing and to support others through non-invasive touch techniques. Emphasis is placed on personal growth, mindfulness, and developing confidence in using Reiki in daily life.
