Tags: Full Day
Limited to 20 participants. No additional discounts or certificates may be used. This class is for social workers, mental health practitioners, creative arts therapists, marriage and family therapists, counselors, nurses, doctors, clergy and others who are interested in incorporating Reiki into services to support individuals with their physical, emotional and spiritual healing process.
In this class you will learn about the universal healing energy of Reiki including its history, how it works, and how to use it to promote healing for your clients and yourself. In addition to teaching you the fundamentals of Reiki, you will learn how to give a full Reiki treatment to others and yourself, and discuss how this might be integrated into your own self-care work and the current treatment of clients. While Reiki is often a hands-on technique, many practice settings do not permit touching of clients and content will include how to use Reiki without physical contact.
You will receive Reiki Level 1 certification for completion of this training.
Demonstrations and supervised practice will be a part of the class, and you will be equipped to provide a full Reiki treatment to yourself and others by the end of the day. In addition, guidelines will be provided for adapting Reiki to your specific treatment setting/clients.
