Becoming a Reiki healer: Level 1 Classes begin
July 6th, 2010 by info
We are innately provided with the tools for self-healing and the capacity to facilitate healing in others. Many of you can relate to being a good listener, holding someone’s hand during a difficult time, hugging another when grieving, soothing a child by brushing her or his head. These are all acts involving the grace of healing.
Healing is often thought of as an event stemming from physical or sexual trauma, injury, disease or emotional upheaval, that one then “heals” to get over, and move on from. Healing, in actuality, involves continual mending and reconnecting with our conscious self, higher self, and the strands of life we are all truly connected to.
None of us is immune to happenings across the globe, from tsunamis, to earthquakes, and major oil spills. These events traumatize not only the individuals, and species in the immediate areas affected, but it creates imbalances both within our individual self and our global selves, because space, time or distance from something on a planetary scale doesn’t matter.
It is easy to become overwhelmed and feel helpless in times of grave tragedy, but he value of Reiki to help heal not only our self, our loved ones, but the planet as a whole holds great promise. It is a way to do your part wherever and whenever you are needed. With Reiki, you can plug in to the source of all life’s energy and begin to help heal through the Reiki energy that moves through you. Reiki self-treatments are a gentle and powerful way to feel lighter, less stressed and more focused. You will notice immediately that you have more energy and begin to balance your life with greater harmony. You will stop sweating the small stuff!
How does one do this? Reiki can be taught in different levels. Level 1 allows you to begin the process of healing on your self and the circle of people/animals in your life. Level 1 takes about 8 hours of training and ample time is given for practice. You will also receive an energy attunement from your Reiki Master. The attunement is like a DNA Reiki imprint that enters your energetic anatomy, which then allows you to begin activating Reiki.
Reiki is passed from one person to another, sort of like a family tree. The origins date back to the 1800’s and were introduced in the United States in 1935. The founder was Dr. Usui. Each Reiki Master can be traced to Dr. Usui, and other masters that he taught and gave attunements to.
If you are interested in learning Level 1, classes will start in September 2010. Please contact Kathy at 607-210-4219 for more information. Class fees are $125.00 and include an extensive manual.
