Beginning of Class

I begin my Reiki Level I class with a short grounding meditation that serves to help students transition from the hectic lives many lead to a calmer place.  We then do a check-in with each person sharing a bit about themselves and what brought them to take the class.  This helps connect participants and enables the group bond.  It is my goal to make the class a healing experience as students travel through the Reiki Level I class.

 

Getting into the Understanding of Reiki Level I

At this point students get a folder with lots of hand-outs I’ve created.  We talk about what Reiki is, Reiki’s history, and how it works – including a supporting unit that helps students understand how energy anatomy relates to Reiki.

 

What comes next?

After a short break for tea and snacks, (these are interspersed throughout the day) we talk about the attunement process, what it means and what students might experience during and afterwards.  I then lead the group in a guided visualization. Afterwards we move to another area for their attunements.

 

Mid-day

After the attunements and a brief check-in it’s time for lunch.  Lunch is a special time in my classes.  Students share a healthy gourmet lunch and get to know each other in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.  Many say this is a very special part of the class experience.

 

Afternoon

After lunch, we gather and practice Reiki on ourselves.  Next students receive detailed instruction about giving a Reiki treatment. They then practice giving and receiving Reiki treatments with me overseeing and facilitating.  After a brief check-in, we do Reiki as a group where one person receives Reiki from all the others.  Our Reiki Level I Class culminates with students receiving a certificate and some words of empowerment from me.

 

What students say….

Thank so you very much for a wonderful day and great class. I feel that you are very down to earth and I appreciated that.  I look forward to taking the Reiki II class in the future with you.   Chrystal

I have experienced in your class a sense of warmth and wonder and an atmosphere that promotes a feeling of love and security.  And I feel that I can share that with others. It has been delightful meeting new and interesting people in your home.  Blessings to you,  Maria

I hope this article has helped you to understand what is involved in my Reiki Level I Class.
