Course Description
Reiki is an Eastern healing philosophy, combined with basic universal spiritual principles, which ultimately serves its practitioners very well. It is a practice which honors the holistic needs of the body and spirit and integrates healing principles to ultimately enrich the entire being.
In this course, you will learn the basics of Reiki, as it is generally taught and practiced by Reiki Masters, and you will have a foundational understanding necessary for self administering its healing principles. We will touch on the history of Reiki as well as its different Eastern and Western branches, principles that govern the practice of Reiki, and both the basic and more complex philosophies concerning the body's energy and how it impacts the healing process.

Course Lessons
Lesson 1: What is Reiki?
Experts in Reiki could easily agree that Reiki is a healing art. Reiki involves the same "laying on of hands" as so many practice in all parts of the world for the transference of healing power.
Lesson 2: The History of Reiki
It is clear that Reiki Healing was born in Japan, through the efforts of Mikao Usui, but thankfully it and other similar healing methods have been exported to the world at large.
Lesson 3: Common Sources of Disease in the Body
In Reiki philosophy, the notion of Disease should first and foremost be reclassified as "Dis-Ease", a state in which the body should be in its natural state of biological 'ease', but isn't.
Lesson 4: Health Issues and How They Respond to Reiki
Reiki is the simplest of the healing arts; beyond hand positioning and faith in the Ki energy, there is really nothing else to learn. This simplicity is simultaneously Reiki's largest drawback.
Lesson 5: The Five Reiki Principles
The five Reiki principles are principles based on universal truths for daily experiencing a happy and successful life.
Lesson 6: Chakras and Meridians in Your Body
Although practitioners of Reiki distance themselves from "religious philosophies", especially in the West, Mikao Usul's personal religious background as a Japanese Buddhist cannot be ignored.
Lesson 7: Colors, Purposes and Functions Associated with the Chakras
Reiki healing energy tends to be absorbed by whatever Chakra needs it the most.
Lesson 8: Choosing a Reiki Master
Many who discover the healing potential of Reiki are naturally fascinated and seek to gain further knowledge of it, even mastery.
Lesson 9: Preparations, Grounding and Meditation
Before a Reiki session, refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Eating very spicy foods or wearing strong perfume or cologne is inadvisable as they can be distractions.
Lesson 10: Healing Yourself
With Reiki, you can (and should) use healing on yourself wherever possible.
Lesson 11: Learning to Heal Others
A Reiki healing session should take approximately one hour from start to finish, as it includes approximately 17 hand positions requiring three minutes each.
Lesson 12: Group Healing and Special Cases
Reiki healing can also be performed by a group, as long as all practitioners have First Degree Reiki experience (the original healers of the Hayashi Reiki Center in Japan worked as teams, and still do).
