Reiki Level – I is for those new to Reiki, wishing to heal oneself in
a new and profound ways; and/or help friends and family improve their
health & wellness. Shoden is the Japanese word for 'first teaching'
as this is the first step one takes in the ongoing journey toward
self-realization through Reiki. By studying Level I Reiki, you are
taking the initial step of initiation into a sacred and powerful
Japanese healing practice. First degree lays the necessary groundwork in
creating the open channel for Reiki to flow. The First degree
initiation includes the first attunement. Each attunement is directed at
raising the vibration frequency of your energy field and activating the
energy centers in your body. Reiki Level – I is considered the
introductory level to developing therapeutic Reiki skills. This level is
ideal for any individual desiring to achieve an advanced level of
higher consciousness.
During this class, you will learn how to use the simple and natural
method of healing that treats the whole system—yourself, others, plants,
animals, the earth and the universe. The energy transfer will vitalize
your body’s cells. By the end of a Reiki treatment, all body systems
(glands, blood supply, nerves, and organs) are operating in a stronger
and more sup portative way. Delivery of the energy is standardized.
Reiki energy is transferred throughout the body in three patterns: the
first pattern covers the front of the torso, the second pattern is
applied to the head and neck, and the third pattern covers the back. The
Reiki practitioner need not know anatomical details, although continued
learning is encouraged. Viewmore
