Reiki Workshop - Level I
Teacher: Reya Mellicker
Price: $200*
Date: Saturday, March 13 from 12:15-3:15pm and 4:30-7:30pm
In addition to receiving the Usui attunements and techniques such as traditional Reiki hand positions and body mechanics to help make Reiki treatments easeful for the practitioner as well as the client, you will learn a variety of gentle healing techniques in this workshop. We will practice sensing, shaping, moving and clearing energy, chakra balancing and shamanic extractions. Using healing symbols accompanied by visualization and guided meditation, we will create healthy boundaries for ourselves that will help us practice Reiki compassionately and mindfully in order to keep us from merging or falling into codependence with clients. We will practice the art of light-hearted, focused awareness and explore techniques to increase the elusive but important human discipline of patience. We will contemplate and work with the connections between physical and etheric anatomy, and take time to talk about the ethics of healing. We will likely have a lot of fun, too.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a hands-on healing technique developed by Dr. Mikao Usui during the 1920’s. It is one of the most highly respected energetic healing traditions even within modern western medicine. Popular among M.D.’s and nurses, it is a practice that can be used by everyone.
