Reiki Level 1: Activating Sacred Healing Energy

hosted by Sarah Rayne (Reiki Master)

Are you ready to step into a more magical reality? One where you are empowered with the knowledge and skills to heal, comfort, and care for yourself during challenging times? Are you ready to gift yourself relief from some of the stresses of your day to day life? Do you desire the ability to help yourself through your chronic pain, or simply release some of the tension and strain that your body holds? Are you ready to bolster your intuition, and become connected to something greater than yourself? Do you feel the call to be of service to others, and to learn the skills to help heal and comfort your friends and family?

Reiki can help you get there.

Reiki is a universal life-force energy, which originated in Japan in the 1920's, and was introduced to the Western world by Hawayo Takata in Hawaii in the mid 1900’s. When used with care & intention, Reiki can have the profound ability to help heal people, animals, and situations on a mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical level. Reiki can also act as a trusted guide & ally in your daily life, creative practices, in conjunction with other healing modalities, and so much more!

This Reiki Level 1 Course is an initiation and an invitation into a potent journey of self-healing and energetic awareness.

In choosing to welcome Reiki into your life, you begin a process of healing yourself in a deep way, so that you can live your truth, move towards your highest potential, and spread positive energy in the world around you.

Part group healing ceremony, part informative class, this weekend Reiki Level 1 intensive will include:

-A modern history of Reiki

-An introduction to the Reiki Principles & the philosophy of the practice

-An explanation of Qi and how it relates to Reiki

-Instruction & hands-on practice on how to activate Reiki and use it to treat yourself

-An introduction & hands-on practice on how to treat others with Reiki

-An overview of different systems to understand energy in the body (including the chakra system from India, & the energetic channels from Chinese Medicine) and how you can use them to help guide your treatments

-A private Reiki attunement

-Tips on additional & traditional techniques, how to use Reiki in all areas of your life, creative endeavors, and more!

-Recommendations on additional resources & physical practices to help you develop an awareness of energy moving through your body

-Energetic support for your 21 days of self-healing that follows, including weekly emails with optional journaling / reflection exercises

-A Reiki Level 1 Practitioner Certificate

Reiki Level 1 is a powerful initiation into this sacred healing modality, and what usually follows your first Reiki class is a deep process of self-healing. To say that a Reiki Level 1 is life-changing is not an exaggeration!

This course may be right for you if…

-You are ready to begin a journey of self-healing & self-actualization

-You have physical aches, pains, or injuries that you'd like to be able to work on yourself

-You'd like to feel more grounded and/or have more agency over your emotional experience

-You have been curious about Reiki or energy healing in general

-You are ready to dive deeper with your spiritual practice

-You are ready to welcome more magic & synchronicity into your life

-You simply feel the call!

The intention for this course is to introduce and attune you to Reiki, so that you can use it to support your own healing, and practice on friends and family. If the Reiki energy resonates with you and you feel called to dive deeper, or to begin to practice Reiki professionally, we highly recommend taking a Reiki Level 2 course after completing Reiki Level 1.

A NOTE ON REIKI:

Reiki is an energy healing method that originated in Japan. The method of Reiki I practice is based upon the Usui Reiki Method, but has been inevitably Westernized since being taught in America for the past many decades. It is not the same as Traditional Japanese Reiki (which is not largely practiced outside of Japan). Out of respect for the cultural traditions of Japan, and the ascended masters in my lineage, I acknowledge that this cultural tradition does not belong to me. I practice with reverence and gratitude for this powerful healing modality. I will be donating a percentage of the revenue from this class to the Portland chapter of the Japanese-American Citizens League.
