Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of 'life force energy' to improve health and enjoy a good quality of life. Accomplished through channeling energy through touch, thought, intention, and prayer, Reiki is a spiritual practice that affects health and wellness on the physical, mental, and emotional levels.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you, promoting relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being.
Reiki is a system of energy healing that explores how to use five major elements:
Each of these elements works together with the others to create a whole system for spiritual development and healing that is unique and powerful.

We like to cover all the basics, from history and theory to practice and potential, making this the perfect program for people new to Reiki or advanced practitioners. Join us to explore, learn, and awaken your healing nature. It is not so important where you begin, because where you end will be expanded awareness a commitment to healing, and a peaceful connection to self, others, and the world at large.
Years ago, Reiki teachers advised students to spread out the levels providing time to practice and slowly grow in understanding and technique. We have found that when people only are exposed to a small portion of the training at a time, they come back months later to continue to the next level, but they haven't practiced much, so they have forgotten much of what they learned in the foundation levels. When you study the levels sequentially, you get a stronger intellectual understanding of reiki and are inspired by the potential for the practice. Of course, it is up to you to practice and develop energetic sensitivity after the formal training to become a skilled master, but you will leave with all the information you need to begin your Reiki journey and to become an instrument of healing and light for others.
Yes, you can practice and be an instrument of love and light for others. That said, there are rules defined by different states regarding whether you can charge for reiki treatments as a "body worker." The list of laws in each state is offered below if you want to research your area if you want to study reiki as a business opportunity.
Yes, we do offer 24 CEUs for massage therapists needing continuing education.

Reiki Level 2 (Practitioner) training carries the foundation course (level 1) on to learn about sharing Reiki with others. This level prepares students to do Reiki treatments on people, places, animals and situations. The course covers distance Reiki, how to send Reiki through time and space, and reviews many techniques for sending Reiki to those who are not physically accessible. Reiki two covers crystal healing and dowsing with pendulums, the laying on of crystals to enhance Reiki energy and chakra clearing. Students work on others in groups and individually after receiving a level 2 attunement, and learning the symbols attached to this level.

For years, Reiki practitioners have debated the question of whether or not they are allowed to practice in public and charge for their services. Some argue that Reiki is a spiritual practice rather than a physical practice and that by becoming a minister (something you can do easily online) a practitioner is engaging in soul work rather than bodywork so they will be exempt from state rules. Others insist that if they don’t physically touch, Reiki can be allowed (and in some cases this is true, but not all.) Each state (and country) has its own rules and regulations, set by public health laws. It is not illegal to do Reiki on yourself or those close to you (without charge) but if your goal is to become a spiritual or energetic healer for others where you will provide Reiki treatments as a service, you will need to pursue the additional credentials required by your state to practice.
