Link: First Degree - Second Degree - Master Practitioner - Master Teacher
Once you have experienced Reiki treatment you may wish to learn to use this gentle energy to treat yourself or other people. Anyone can learn how to do this. It requires no special qualifications or abilities at all, only an interest and an open mind.

First Degree Reiki Training is about connecting to the Energy, developing your sensitivity to the flow of energy, beginning your own healing and expanding your mindset to allow you to channel the energy effectively. It is also an introduction to the spiritual aspects of Reiki practice. Reiki is essentially a spiritual practice - the healing which occurs is an inevitable result of an altered spiritual perspective.
This 2 day course provides an excellent introduction to Reiki healing and is open to anyone age 16 or over who is interested in learning this gentle therapy. A course is a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 students to allow personal attention and adequate time for practice.
Other dates for this course may be available as required. Please phone or email for details.

- After the Attunement course you will be encouraged to self- treat on a regular basis, keep a log of your self- treatment progress and your treatments of other people. This is not a formal Case Study requirement but an aid to your Reiki journey. It is intended to help you to highlight areas of practice you are not clear on and to act as a basis for discussion in subsequent training. For those who intend to go on to Practitioner training this log will form part of the recorded activities which are necessary to complete Practitioner training according to the NOS for Reiki.
You are encouraged and very welcome to attend the Reiki shares that I run and I offer advice and support to all of my students for as long as they require it.

Second Degree Reiki Training is about reinforcing and enhancing your connection to the Energy, learning the symbols - what they really represent and how to use them, learning to establish and trust a strong distant connection for remote healing and opening up your psychic awareness for intuitive work.
Training at this level will give you:
- Personal Attunement to higher levels of Reiki so that you have the ability to hold and channel more energy than before
- The ability to consciously activate this increased level through the use of Reiki symbols
- The ability to choose which aspect or quality of the energy you wish to use for a particular situation
- The ability to send Reiki through time and space for absentee healing
- An increased intuitive and psychic awareness if you choose to use it
- More advanced techniques to use
- More on the Energy system of the body
- Advice and guidance on ethical and legal issues
- Advice on all aspects of setting up in practice
- A Certificate of Attendance to show that you have been attuned to Reiki at Level 2.
If you intend to use Reiki for self-help purposes or just to work with other people on a casual basis this is as much as you need to do but if you intend to move into professional practice you will also need to complete Level 2 training and receive Practitioner Certification which allows you to gain professional insurance.
To complete Level 2 training:
- You are required to keep a log of your self- treatments and your treatments of other people or animals. These sessions form part of the minimum 75 sessions which need to be logged before Practitioner certification can be awarded according to the Reiki NOS. Your experiences may prompt questions that you may raise with your Master Teacher. This constitutes part of your Continued Personal and Professional Development (CPD).
- You are required to submit at least 3 case studies for assessment. Each case study should consist of at least 4 treatments on the same person or animal. These sessions are also part of the requisite 75 sessions but need to be reported in more detail so that you can demonstrate that you are capable of delivering a session to a professional standard.
- You are required to continue to read widely to expand your understanding of Reiki and swap experiences and insights and to attend appropriate courses and Reiki shares. This all forms part of your CPD and each item should be documented.
- You are asked to maintain contact with your Reiki Master for a minimum of 6 hours post-course mentoring and support. This may be done via attendance at Reiki shares or group or private tutorial sessions in person or by phone. This also contributes to your CPD.
- You are required to gain a basic qualification in First Aid techniques if you do not already have one. We can offer advice on sourcing this training-it is widely available.
- You are required to gain a working understanding of Human Anatomy and Physiology if you do not already have this. It may be done by attending a college course or by home study as preferred.
- You are required to take training in other areas of expertise if you do not already have these skills e.g. Listening skills or basic counselling skills, Practice management and business skills. We offer some of these topics as extra training days 2-3 times per year or you can find them elsewhere. We can offer advice on suitable courses.
Reiki Practitioner certification is awarded when all of these criteria have been met and you may then obtain professional and public liability insurance.
Guidance on how to comply with these requirements is given as part of the Level 2 course
Generally it is expected that it will take a minimum of a year to move from complete beginner to competent practitioner.
Please phone or email for more information.

The Balance Procedure is very simple to use and so is perfect as a self-help tool. If practiced regularly, it can gradually alter old, stuck or harmful patterns of thought and behavior and so help you to find your place of personal peace and live a happier, fuller life.
