Usui Reiki 1 Workshop

During a Western Usui Reiki 1 workshop you learn everything you need to know to focus and transfer your own natural healing energy for your own benefit and for the benefit of others. Reiki 1 is the first level of Western Usui Reiki. Western Usui Reiki 1 is essentially a hands-on workshop where you receive basic instruction in the Western Usui Reiki technique from the Western Usui Reiki teacher and immediate hands-on practice using Western Usui Reiki. Reiki 1 is the first practitioner level that teaches you everything you need to know to give yourself and others Western Usui Reiki treatments.

During the Reiki 1 class, your own natural healing ability is awakened through Western Usui Reiki initiations. This innate ability is reinforced through practicing Western Usui Reiki on yourself and others. In each session, the Reiki teacher also shares personal knowledge and experience in Western Usui Reiki with the students and encourages and mentors each student's practice of Western Usui Reiki. I typically teach Reiki 1 in a weekend day workshop with 8 hours of instruction, practice and 4 Western Usui Reiki initiations with breaks for discussion, lunch and tea. I have been a traditional teacher in the Usui System of Natural Healing since 1988.

To join our next Western Usui Reiki 1 workshop Sat & Sun: Sep 18 & 19, 2010  Contact me at 206-725-8591 , by email, or by registering online. The fee for Western Usui Reiki 1 is usually $150.00, but no one should ever be discouraged from participating Western Usui Reiki 1 because of a current financial shortfall. Exchanges are welcome. Make a proposal! Cancer patients and cancer health care providers and staff are especially invited to any Emerald City Reiki Center Reiki 1 workshop. What is essential in Western Usui Reiki 1 is the coming together at a class of student intention and an initiating master capable of transmitting the energetic essence of Western Usui Reiki 1.

How do you choose a Reiki master for Western Usui Reiki 1? We suggest that you can rely on Reiki masters who trace their lineage with integrity back to Hawayo Takata, masters who offer straight-forward, stand alone, single level no-nonsense, Western Usui Reiki 1 classes, and whose commitment to Reiki is long-standing. I have been a Western Usui Reiki master since 1988. In Western Usui Reiki 1 class, each student's own natural healing ability is awakened through four Reiki initiations. This innate human healing ability is then reinforced through practicing Reiki on self and others.  During each of the four Reiki initiations, the primary role of the Reiki master is providing a forum for sharing and opening up each student's innate ability to transmit healing energy. In each Reiki 1 session, the Reiki master also shares her personal knowledge and years of experience in Reiki with the students and encourages and mentors each student's practice of Reiki.

Western Usui Reiki 1 begins student and teacher sharing and with the first Western Usui Reiki initiation. After the first initiation, the history of Western Usui Reiki is discussed and the head to heart positions are taught. After the second Western Usui Reiki initiation the remaining front of the body positions are taught along with their effects and uses. The students then practice giving and receiving Western Usui Reiki using the traditional treatment positions. The back positions are usually taught in the third session after the third Western Usui Reiki initiation. And after the fourth Western Usui Reiki initiation, the basic self-healing hand positions are taught and the students practice self-treatment. By the end of the Western Usui Reiki 1 training, each student receives four Western Usui Reiki initiations, gives and receives at least one full traditional Western Usui Reiki treatment, and is certified as a Western Usui Reiki 1 practitioner by the Western Usui Reiki teacher. By the end of the Western Usui Reiki 1 training, each student receives four Reiki initiations, gives and receives at least one full traditional Reiki treatment, and is certified as a Western Usui Reiki 1 practitioner by the Reiki master.  See our Reiki 1 Class Schedule.

The second level of Western Usui Reiki is for those 1st Degree Western Usui Reiki practitioners who wish to deepen their experience of and commitment to using Western Usui Reiki in their lives. Typically in traditional Western Usui Reiki there is a wide range of 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and even many years between Western Usui Reiki 1 and Western Usui Reiki 2 training, as readiness for Western Usui Reiki 2 is individual. I myself took Western Usui Reiki 2 training one month after my 1st Degree Western Usui Reiki Class and I recommend the intensity of this particular timing for Western Usui Reiki 2 to my students and generally schedule my Western Usui Reiki 1 classes so that a Western Usui Reiki 2 training is available within a month after completion of 1st degree.

When asked which version of Reiki is better Western Usui Reiki or Jikiden Reiki, I always recommend both. Their positives to both methods. Call me at 206-725-8591 or 866-897-7296 to talk about both methods.
