Reiki First Degree (Shoden) Training Course

The Reiki ‘First Degree’ course is equivalent to a two day training course as it consists of a home study pack and a practical training day. Before the course, you will spend approximately 9 hours working through a home study pack and then attend a 1 day practical training day where you will focus on practical energy work in the company of a few other students. This approach provides you with a complete training in the basic Reiki technique. I teach original Japanese Reiki and use energy exercises and meditations that come from the original Japanese method.

The Home Study Pack
The study pack consists of a compreshensive ‘Shoden’ Manuel and two audio cd’s which cover everything you will learn on the day of the course.

The first cd contains 70 minutes of commentary which summarises the main themes of your manuel:

– What is Reiki and where is comes from (History, background and development)
– What Usui taught and how we can follow the original system in the modern- world
– The Reiki ‘precepts’, mindfulness and the use of empowerments
– How to benefit from daily energy exercises and self-treatments
– How to use Reiki on other people

The second cd contains guided meditations:

– Hatsu Rei Ho (energy exercises)
– Self teatment meditation
– Distant healing session
– Symbol meditation

You will only need to use the first two meditations at first degree level. The other two meditations will be used later at second degree level, if you choose to go on.
