Course Outline
Once attuned by a Reiki Master, Reiki is like a form of first aid in your hands that will never leave you. Energy will flow through your hands whenever you touch with intent. Following a series of attunements, Reiki 1 will enable you to treat:· Yourself · Others (adults and children) · Animals, plants and trees · Food and water Reiki can safely be used in combination with medical advice and treatment as well as other complementary therapies. The Reiki 1 course can be delivered as a one or two-day course and will cover the following:
In First Degree training you will receive two attunements. These attunements are focused mainly on opening up the physical body so that it can then accept energy. During Reiki 1 training, you learn how to feel energy and many practical exercises are used throughout the course. You are also taught the general principles of Reiki and become familiarised with its history and roots. On a practical level, you will also be taught how to give a treatment, firstly to yourself and secondly to other people. This part of the course assists the integration of the energy and gives you the tools to become a Reiki Practitioner.Following the attunement is a 28 day period called the cleansing period. During this time, you are encouraged to give yourself a treatment every day and many students find themselves undergoing positive personal changes and spiritual growth which can be a very powerful and very rewarding time. On completion of the course, you will receive an illustrated Reiki Manual, First Degree Reiki Certificate, on-going support and advice.
You have identified that Reiki, including its principles, is something that you wish to embrace in your life. we always ask our students to prepare themselves to receive this wonderful gift in the most appropriate ways they can and in doing so, you will have a wonderful experience over the one/ two days of your initiation process.
During the week prior to your initiation you should get as much quality sleep and rest as you can. Avoid alcohol and red meat as alcohol affects your brain and your body systems causing de-hydration and red meat is very difficult to digest and can clog up and slow down the energy in your stomach and abdominal areas.
The night before your first attunement you should bath using Epsom salts (1 cup to a full bath of water) and make sure that your whole body is covered including your head which you should put under the water. This cleanses your energy centres and prepares them to receive new, vibrant energy. You will need to repeat this on the second night when your attunements have been completed. This will again clear off any negative energy and cleanse your aura.
Please drink plenty of water during the week – 2 litres per day- as this will ensure that you are adequately hydrated. Take water with you over the two days of the initiation to make sure your levels are maintained.
Please no recreational drugs during the week. We would ask that you let your Reiki Master know if you use drugs on a regular basis as this is likely to interfere with the Reiki energy you intend to channel. Prescription medicines should, of course, be continued as instructed by your GP.
