Reiki Training - What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also encourages healing. It is given by "laying on hands" and is based on the belief that an unseen "energy life force" flows through us. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Universal / Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy.” Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like wonderful glowing warmth that flows through and around you. Treating the whole person including body, mind and spirit creating many positive and beneficial effects like relaxation, peacefulness and wellbeing.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It also works in union with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

A simple technique to learn and with attunements allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy"

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion, there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from Source, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

Jennifer is a member of The UK Reiki Federation and follows their suggested guidelines for Reiki training. There are four levels of Reiki Training:

Reiki workshops are run throughout the year for groups of up to 6 only to allow for individual attention.
