Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands to channel healing energy from the practitioner to the patient.
Health care providers, proficient in Reiki Level I, will understand the history of Reiki, be able to describe the Chakra system and the specific Reiki hand positions.
They will also be proficient in grounding and centering themselves before offering Reiki to others. Reiki II practitioners will have a more complete understanding of the Reiki symbols, meaning, and uses, Reiki distance healing techniques, and treatment guidelines.
Experience the gentle, healing practice of Reiki in this workshop focused on self-care and personal well-being. You’ll learn the foundations of Reiki and how to use this energy healing modality to nurture yourself and cultivate balance in your daily life.
