Reiki

There are 3 levels of Reiki to learn. Here is an example of what a typical course could cover:
  • Reiki One - usually covered in a one day workshop, and can include the history of Reiki, grounding and protection and self-healing.  Attunements are generally provided, a certificate validated by the UK Reiki Federation and a detailed manual.
  • Reiki Two - usually covered in two days. Here you should learn how to give treatments to others with confidence, possibly learn how to use all Reiki symbols for your own use and how to send Reiki over distance and time.
  • Reiki Three - is the 'master' level, where you learn to teach others about Reiki and how to give healing attunements. Can last from one to two days.
Expect to pay from £400 for the all three levels (2004). For further information on training see the UK Reiki Federation: www.reikifed.co.uk
