The Five Reiki Principles
I was first initiated into Reiki in 1998, and have been my privilege to teach as a Master since the Millennium. Since that time I have developed and expanded my Reiki practice and experience by working and sharing with numerous wonderful people. Highlights have included attending Reiki Events organised by the Reiki Association in 2000 at Buckland Hall with The Grand Master, Phyllis Furamoto, and in Coventry with Paul Mitchell (Head of Discipline).
The year of 2005, was a really amazing Reiki journey which began in April with a wonderful weekend of instruction led by Phyllis here in Nottinghamshire, and culminated in participation of the Usui Reiki World Network Conference in Paris, in November, after having been initiated into Gendai Reiki by my friend and Reiki Master, Barbara Reid. The Conference was led by Hiroshi Doi, a Japanese Reiki Master from Dr. Usui's original Gakkai and Inamoto Hyakuten. The generosity of their spirit, of their teaching, and of the international community there present was a truly amazing experience.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing. The word Reiki means Universal Energy - The energy that flows in and around every living being.
The Usui System of Reiki is a the most simple and natural healing method known to man. The Reiki practitioner is a channel for this energy, for it is not his / her own. Reiki is directed through the hands to wherever it is needed. Developed by Dr Usui after his enlightenment on Mount Kurama, Reiki has spread throughout the world as a respected form of healing used by many millions of people.
A Reiki workshop is quite unlike any other course you will have ever experienced because the Reiki attunements connect you to the universal energy and you are given the amazing gift of healing yourself and others. It is a wonderful, life changing experience. By promoting deep healing it can bring new awareness helping to release the past in order to make way for the future. By trusting in the guidance of Reiki you will find a greater sense of harmony in your life.

What are Reiki Attunements?
Reiki attunements are adjustments made by the Reiki Master to the student's energy body to connect to the Source of energy and allow the flow from the Universe into the student. This allows the student to heal, using the Reiki energy, and to develop themselves on every level, to accompany them, and to fulfil their higher destiny. Once attuned the student retains this connection for life.
The gift of Reiki can be attained in two consecutive days.

What are the Benefits of Reiki?
With regular use Reiki has a multitude of benefits, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Once attuned the student has continuous access, on every level of their being. Regular self- healing increases the flow, and the beneficial effects of the Reiki energy. Generally people feel less stressed, more energised and far more focused. Life often seems clearer, and life's purpose is often more apparent. Reiki is life changing - the beginning of self-discovery, a spiritual journey towards enlightenment.
Reiki treatments are given usually given lying down and the recipient is fully clothed no massage is involved. The practitioner gently places their hands non- intrusively in a sequence of positions, which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms.
Reiki gives deep and powerful healing, working on all levels. Reiki can be used to treat any condition, whether it is physical or emotional.
The most common thing experienced during treatment is a sense of peace and relaxation, often with a pleasant sense of security. Clients may fall asleep but this makes no difference to the treatment. On other occasions, old and unresolved experiences may become conscious again. A release of emotion can occur and tears may flow or a laugh of relief will be released. No Reiki session is ever the same, since every individual is unique and in constant change.
Reiki cannot promise a complete cure, but it will help, whether physically or emotionally. In some cases a physical problem is caused by an emotional trauma and once that is healed the physical pain dissipates also. In some cases such as terminal illness, there is not enough time for the progress of the disease to be reversed. However, in such cases there is usually great benefit and enhancement of quality of life giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining.

Reiki Training
What can I do with Reiki and how do I progress?
Reiki teaching is structured into levels (or degrees)
Reiki I, II, and Masters
REIKI I is used primarily for self-healing and for use with friends and family. This level is complete and self-contained, many people find this is enough for them. The important thing is to remember to use and enjoy the energies
top
REIKI II, THE PRACTITIONER LEVEL, can be taken a minimum of three months later.
The two day course introduces students to the sacred symbols of Reiki. We will work with the energy, sending it to others through time and distance. The symbols aid in mental and emotional healing.
You will receive a further attunement, which will amplify the amount of Reiki energy channeled through you. As a result of this attunement students normally develop both a greater sensitivity to energy, and to their own psychic awareness. Reiki II enables the student to gain their practitioner certificate and obtain insurance to practice Reiki professionally.
top
REIKI MASTER/TEACHER DEGREE, allows the student to teach Reiki. Some people become Reiki Masters solely for the personal and spiritual growth, which results from this powerful experience. Others see it as a major commitment to others. Either way it is advisable to consider this step very carefully, as you will learn to attune people on all levels bringing great responsibility. As a Master you must be a living example for your students and be able to support them in their growth.
