History and Background
Towards the end of the 19th century, Mikao Usui, a Japanese Minister embarked on a quest seeking knowledge and understanding of healing by laying hands on people, like Jesus Christ used to do. His search took him to Buddhist monks from whom he obtained special symbols for healing. After meditating on the symbols, he experienced a spiritual awakening and felt beautiful Light and powerful energy flowing through him. When he placed his hands on sick people, they became well, and so he knew he had been blessed with the power of healing.
Usui called this healing power Reiki, which in Japanese means ‘Universal Life Force’. He passed on this healing power to Chirjuro Hayashi who in turn passed it on to Hawayo Takata. Hawayo trained several American people, and from there it spread all over the world.
Reiki energy is a very gentle force. In Indian and Hindu tradition it is known as ‘Prana’. When a trained Reiki practitioner places his hands on a sick person, Reiki energy flows through his hands into the body of the person, correcting any imbalance within that person. It heals disease from its root, which could be present in one of several places or bodies: emotional, mental or even spiritual body.
Learning Reiki
Altogether, there are 4 levels of training in Reiki:
| Level | Length | Description | Time to next level |
| 1 | 6 hrs | You will learn to heal people / animals / plants by laying your hands on them | minimum 1 month |
| 2 | 6 hrs | Your healing will become more powerful. Besides hands on healing you will be able to ‘send’ healing to people / animals who are absent, heal relationships, the Earth, situations like famines, wars, floods, etc. and much more | minimum 1 month |
| 3 Advanced Level |
6 hrs | Your healing will be even more powerful & you will be able to send to send healing to up to 4 people at a time. Your spiritual connection with your Higher Self will get stronger | minimum 1 year |
| 4Master / Teacher Level | 6 hrs | You will be taught how to pass on Reiki on to others and how to conduct a Reiki workshop. Your own healing power will increase and improve tremendously |
I prefer to teach all levels in person. However, if that is not possible, then they can be taught as a distance course.
I have been asked by Reiki healers if I could re attune them. This is a Reiki booster attunement. It is done as a distance attunement.
If you wish to recieve this booster attunement or want to know more about it, please contact me.
