Reiki

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) means universal life force energy.  It is a healing method which was rediscovered in the late 1800’s by a Japanese Christian minister named Mikao Usui.  It was brought from Japan to the United States in the 1930’s by a Japanese-American woman named Hawayo Takata.  Reiki is now practiced and taught in every country in the world.

 

Alaya is a Reiki Master of the Usui tradition, trained by Libby Barnett, international Reiki Master, author, and Reiki teacher.  In addition to offering Reiki treatments, she teaches Reiki Level 1 (hand-on Reiki), Reiki Level 2 (distance Reiki), and Reiki Master (for those who wish to also teach Reiki) classes for those who would like to do self-Reiki or become a Reiki practitioner.

 

A Reiki treatment provides a wealth of benefits and is now being incorporated into traditional medical practices where doctors and nurses in hospitals and hospices throughout the country are trained to provide Reiki for their patients.

 

A Reiki treatment …

 

· Is deeply relaxing and comforting

· Catalyzes the body’s natural ability to heal

· Stimulates the immune system

· Has continuing effects for hours and even days after treatment

· Reduces stress, pain, and inflammation

· Is non-manipulative, non-invasive, and non-intrusive

· Supports all other forms of healing, including traditional medical treatments, by bringing your body to a place of balance where healing can occur.

· Supports your body in releasing physical symptoms

· Can reduce/relieve pain, especially chronic pain

· Reduces the frequency and/or severity of opportunistic diseases that often occur in immune compromised conditions

 

After a Reiki treatment, it is important to listen to your body.  Reiki supports your body in functioning more efficiently and may influence the way food, drink, and medications affect you.  If you are on medication, be aware to notice any changes you experience and consult your physician.  Your medical doctor is the only person qualified to make any changes to your medication.  In addition, your body will be releasing toxins after a Reiki treatment, so it is important to drink plenty of water afterwards.

 

Reiki is easy to learn and is a great way to support your well-being as well as those around you.  The (W)hole Point Institute offers classes in Reiki I and Reiki II.

 

Reiki Level I

Participants will learn hands-on training in Reiki.  Through instruction and lively participation, students will have first-hand experience in giving and receiving Reiki.  Reiki attunement empowers students to give Reiki to themselves and others through direct hands-on contact.  MSW’s and other professionals can earn 7 NASW-approved CEU’s for this Reiki class.

 

Reiki Level II

Participants will be trained and attuned in Reiki II.  This involves a non-hands-on approach to Reiki, allowing participants to send Reiki through time, space, and distance.  Learning the Reiki II symbols empowers the students to activate this potential held in all people.  Through instruction and participation, students will have experience as givers and receivers in this advanced Reiki training.  MSW’s and other professionals can earn 7 NASW-approved CEU’s for this Reiki class.

 

Reiki Master Program

The Reiki Master Training Program is a 9-month program that requires a serious commitment to learn and deepen your Reiki skills.  Participation in the Reiki Master Training Program is not a guarantee of becoming a Reiki Master.  Your willingness to dive deeply into your process is essential.  Your Reiki Master journey will be fully supported by Reiki Teaching Master Elizabeth “Alaya” Chadwick as well as by a Reiki mentor, your fellow Reiki Master Trainees and by Reiki itself.

 

The greater part of Reiki Master training is done individually with specific suggestions and methods for deepening your Reiki skills and practice.  About three quarters of the way through your training, a 2-day group class will be held at which time you will learn the Reiki Master symbols.  You will also receive instruction on how to teach Reiki I and Reiki II classes as well as receive a Reiki Master manual and other materials.

 

Once you have received the Reiki Master initiation, teaching Reiki I and Reiki II to others will complete your Reiki Master Training.

 

The Reiki Masters of The (W)hole Point Institute are available for individual Reiki sessions as well as traveling to your site to teach Reiki classes.
