Reiki Level 1 Training in Oakland


What: Learn the basics and receive your first attunement for hands-on healing
When: Sunday, Octber 24, 2010 — 10am - 5pm, plus a follow-up gathering
Where: Private Address in Rockridge, Oakland (half-block from BART)

Description:
Reiki is a Japanese word, meaning "universal life force energy." A Reiki practitioner channels healing energy through light touch. A practitioner is enabled to channel Reiki through a process called "attunement". (You can liken it to receiving the key to open an energy gate.) Reiki is gentle, safe, powerful and empowering.

Reiki training opens you to profound, positive life transformations — physical healing and well-being, mental and emotional purification, spiritual growth and deepening. Through the training and attunement process you encounter new levels of possibility for personal empowerment and magical expression. Reiki training brings an ease and grace to other transformative practices. The healing that takes place within Reiki practitioners creates a framework of well-being that is especially beneficial for those who channel, heal, counsel, priestess, give readings, make magic, or work within other holistic domains.

The first level of Reiki training initiates the process of becoming a truly clear channel for Universal Life Force Energy. Level 1 gives you a foundation for well-being, prompting a release of blocks within your physical being. The potential for healing is limited only by your imagination, intention and willingness to lay hands on.

  • Learn the history and principles of Reiki
  • Receive your first degree attunement
  • Learn the hand positions for Reiki treatments
  • Practice giving treatments to yourself and others
  • Take home reference materials and your certificate

Who's It For:
People who want foundational hands-on healing tools and/or who want to "upgrade" their energy system and experience greater well-being.

Investment:
$150

Registration:
Register by email or by phone: (650) 575-3799.




Reiki Level 2 Training in Oakland


What: Ground your magical/healing practice in effortlessness and abundance
When: Sunday, April 24, 2011 — 10am - 5pm, plus a follow-up gathering
Where: Private Address in Rockridge, Oakland (half-block from BART)

Description:
Reiki is a Japanese word, meaning "universal life force energy." A Reiki practitioner channels healing energy through light touch.

The healing that takes place within Reiki practitioners creates a framework of well-being that is especially beneficial for those who channel, heal, counsel, priestess, give readings, make magic, or work within other holistic domains.

The second level of Reiki training opens you further to the power that you ARE as a channel for Universal Life Force Energy. Level 2 tunes your awareness to other dimensions of spiritual support. This potent threshold marks a purification of your emotional/mental bodies and amplifies your capacity to channel Reiki.

  • Develop further ease and trust in the process
  • Learn the Reiki symbols for increased power, mental/emotional healing, and distance healing
  • Receive your second degree attunement
  • Practice channeling Reiki across the boundaries of time and space
  • Discover applications for Reiki in all areas of your life
  • Take home reference materials and your certificate

Who's It For:

$200
