Learning to be Reiki

Reiki I (1st Degree)

During this 2-day intensive course you will be attuned to Reiki energy and will learn the hand positions and techniques to enable you to heal yourself, other people, animals and even plants. 

Reiki I gives you a firm basis for all further levels of training.  When you gain Reiki I you will have the ability to utilise Reiki energy for life.  Once you have been attuned to Reiki you have, or are, Reiki forever.

A comprehensive Manual is available at the end of this - and each level - course.

Reiki II (2nd Degree)

During this 2-day intensive course you will learn to work and heal on a deeper level, amplifying the energy you already use.  Three of the sacred symbols are given to you to use; you are taught their meanings and uses, and how to activate them and their energy.  

Reiki II gives you Practitioner status; you are able to gain insurance so that you can offer Reiki healing in return for monetary payment.  Ethical guidelines for practice are discussed during this course.

Reiki III (3rd Degree)

This is taught in 2 parts, over a total of 4 intensive days.  Many people work at Practitoner level for some time before going on to acquire Master status.  If you do not want to pass Reiki on to others, you need only complete Part I.

Part I gives you Reiki III  Pracitioner status, and  enables you to work and heal on an even deeper level.  You will be given the rest of the sacred symbols and will learn their meanings, energies and uses.  This will develop and extend both your healing and your own spiritual awareness as it offers the opportunity to work on higher planes of consciousness.

Part II confers the title of Master,  and enables you to attune and teach Reiki to other people.  The use of the word ‘Master' for a teacher honours the sacred tradition of Reiki. 

Reiki IV (Advanced) 

This is an optional course, which offers different skills to take you to an even higher level of healing and consciousness.  It is taught over 2 very intensive days. 

Karuna Reiki is an option for Usui Masters, preferably also having gained Advanced Reiki status.

NB Those who have gained Reiki III Practitioner status but have no intention of teaching Reiki, can take Advanced Reiki and then Karuna Practitioner training.

Karuna Practitioner
I and II  

This course is taught over 2 very intensive days, and gives Practitioner status.  You are attuned to the eight sacred symbols, and learn their energies and complex uses.

Karuna Master  

This course is taught over 2 very intensive days, and takes you to Master level.  You learn how to attune others to Karuna energy, and how to teach to both Practitioner and Master level. 


NB Successful students are registered with the International  Center for Reiki Training in the USA. Only Registered Masters can teach and register their students.

At all levels  continuing support is offered.  My students are welcome and encouraged to contact me at any time to seek advice, and also to sit in on future courses (no fee) to refresh knowledge and skills.  

For each course  I will take individual students but, to facilitate practice (and because it is even more enjoyable), a minimum of 2 is preferable.  

All courses  can also be taught over a 10 week term, 2 hours per week.

All courses  are held in a relaxed, supportive environment.
