First Degree: Shoden
REIKI FOUNDATION: HEALING THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT.
In this immersive course, you’ll develop the confidence and skills to use and apply Reiki. Applying Reiki by the touch of your hands is one of the foundational aspects in this system.
Reiki is Cosmic Life Energy. The traditional system which empowers an individual to access and use this Reiki is called: Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho.
One aspect of this system is a hands on healing practice that can be used on yourself, on others, in private practice, and in public health settings. Another aspect of this system is a Spiritual Practice, allowing our minds and our hearts to re-connect.
Practicing allows our inner conflicts to dissolve and we enter the state of Anshin Ritsumei – absolute inner peace. The system of Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho is a complete system for unifying and healing the body, mind, and spirit.

Note: Those who register for the online class may also elect to receive the four traditional Takata Reiki initiations remotely if they choose for an additional fee. For those who have already received their First Degree initiations, this is optional. After registration, you will receive a link to register for the remote initiations.
For the online classes, the information will be taught in an eight-hour period. However, the four First Degree initiations will be given over two to four days as is a tradition in this lineage. The times and dates for the remote initiations for each class will be stated on the registration page.
There will also be optional free Questions and Answers class sessions scheduled throughout the year which students may attend if they choose. This allows for students to ask questions regarding the information taught in this course.
