REIKI LEVEL 1 TRAINING Thank you to everyone who has booked in so far, 1 week and 5 people have hopped on board. In the meantime, I am enjoying my preparations and insights I am receiving since putting this Reiki level one course out to you all.
To hold and be held. I am currently listening to parts of my PhD, and although it's not specific to Reiki. I have been listening to a part about recovering the fragmented parts of self and how, when held and holding space, this happens. It is a generous act of kindness to tend to your own hearth. And deeply listen to your innate healing wisdom. I do this and reach out to mentors and friends. I loved my Reiki training back in 1995; my teacher was incredible, bringing her shiatsu background to the Reiki training. My course offers training informed by a wealth of bodywork and somatic movement, and by the resonance work I deliver.
Looking forward to this journey.
Here's the information for anyone else considering this invitation on the 6-month journey, and the link below.
I am excited to announce a Reiki Level 1 Training called Held & Holding with me.
Step into a nurturing, restorative space created to support your personal healing and your first steps into the practice of Reiki. This four‑day training, spread over 6 months, offers a gentle, in-depth and powerful introduction to Reiki Level 1, blending a guided practice and an embodied experience.
Usui Reiki Shoden (Level 1) is the foundational level of Reiki training, focusing on self-healing, personal development, and the ability to channel energy for friends and family. It serves as the initial step in the Japanese energy healing technique developed by Mikao Usui.
This Reiki training is rooted in over 30 years of my personal and professional experience with Reiki and is deeply informed by my somatic movement, resonance, and bodywork practices. The days offer a spacious, embodied approach to learning, emphasising presence, sensitivity, and attunement.
Throughout the training, there will be opportunities to explore different qualities of touch — deep listening touch, a light touch, and resting touch — each supporting a different layer of awareness in the body. Alongside this, attending to the subtle field of the energy body, cultivating the capacity to sense, hold, and work with energetic shifts in a grounded and ethical way.
These are focused, gentle, and experiential days that invite you into a fuller relationship with your own body, intuition, and heart centered intelligence through the practice of Reiki.
