Reiki Level 1

Reiki Level 1 traditional training is the ideal start to self-discovery, self-care, personal development, and spiritual growth. This certification course is accredited by IGCT & CThA and offers the first steps towards a Reiki energy healing professional practice in the UK and internationally.

What is Reiki?

Reiki means spiritually guided (REI) life-force energy (KI). It is universal; it works holistically and promotes the body’s regenerative self-healing ability. The practice of Reiki therapy is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century. Reiki is non-invasive, and we use it holistically to restore balance in mind, body, and spirit.

Course Content   

I will initiate you to both original Japanese Usui Reiki Ryoho and Western-style Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho teachings (the best of both worlds) and share with you a prestigious Reiki Lineage, its principles, philosophy, endeavors, and ways to achieve wellbeing and happiness. 

Immediately after your first Reiki Empowerment, you will be able to connect with the Universal Life-force Energy consciously at will and gain healing and intuitive abilities. Yay!

You will learn energy exercises to strengthen your resilience and regenerative capacity, special breathing and meditation techniques for aura cleansing, space clearing & purification, stress relief, self-healing, healing others (people, plants & pets – all living things), purifying and infusing energy (bring a bottle of water, your crystals and lucky charms), chakra sensing, healing and activation techniques, and much more, including an introduction to setting up a professional practice.    

Learning Outcomes (NOS)

By the end of the course, Reiki therapy students will be able to:

• understand and explain the history of their Reiki style/system; their own lineage to Mikao Usui; types of attunement/initiation; how treatment will be given.

• explain and demonstrate how to apply the practice of Reiki, including working with Reiki energy; self-treatment; working with possible different recipients of Reiki.

• carry out a full Reiki treatment safely and effectively, tailored to the needs of the individual and ensuring the comfort and well-being of the client throughout;

• demonstrate how to recognise conditions when referral may need to be made elsewhere;

• discuss the different methods of treatment, how these should be used and/or modified for individual clients or situations, and for clients with differing needs;

• show an awareness of their own and other’s emotional state and responses and know how to use self-treatment and/or meditation techniques to support their own practice and spiritual development;

• describe the potential outcomes of Reiki.

Optional further progression after Reiki Level 1 Certification

You can receive the attunements and learn Reiki just for self-help and informal practice, or become a Reiki healer. It’s fun and life-affirming. After Reiki Level 1 training, most students want to improve their skills or become Reiki therapists, so they sign up to gain Reiki Level 2 Practitioner Certification.

Later on, if you decide to practise within the NHS, you will need to pursue the Reiki Practitioner Diploma training pathway recently designed to meet the highest standards set by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) National Occupational Standards (NOS), and Skills for Health.

Either way, this is the beginning! Taking part in this training is the first step; it awards you with the traditional Reiki Level 1 (Shoden, first teachings) certificate of completion, and you can practice Reiki with confidence.
