Reiki training is not just a course; it’s a transformative journey of self-healing, energy work, and spiritual development. Structured in three levels—Reiki Level I, Level II, and Master/Teacher Level—each level builds upon the previous one, guiding you towards a profound understanding of Reiki. If you are considering Reiki training, consider Karen Harrison at Whole Life Center.

Reiki training is a form of complementary therapy that originated in Japan. It involves using the practitioner’s hands to channel healing energy into the recipient’s body by touch or intention from a distance. In a Reiki training class, you learn how to give Reiki healing energy to others and yourself. Anyone can learn Reiki as it is simple to understand and use. There are no restrictions (ages 14+ for adult classes) and no health or educational background requirements to enroll in one of Karen Harrison’s classes at the Whole Life Center. We welcome people of any race, gender identity, sexual orientation, class, ability, language, or cultural background and celebrate diversity in our classes. Karen’s comprehensive training classes cater to beginners and advanced learners, ensuring everyone feels welcomed and accepted.

A Reiki Master teaches Reiki courses. Karen Harrison is a Senior Licensed Reiki Master Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) and has taught Reiki professionally since 1998. The beginning courses start with Reiki I and II, which are taught over two days. You can then move on to the Reiki master training. Here is an overview of what Reiki training classes Karen offers and what you will learn:

• Beginning Reiki Classes – Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki I and Reiki II. They are taught together during a two-day intensive session. This class is a combination of lectures, experience, and discussion. You’ll receive practice time to use all the techniques as well.
• ICRT Animal Reiki I & II: a two-day workshop where you will learn to offer Animal Reiki to all species of animals. This energy differs from human Reiki as it includes the Animal Reiki Placement. To take this Reiki class, you must complete level 2 Reiki. This class is ideal for those who want to extend their healing practice to animals.
• USUI/Holy Fire III Reiki Master: This course is for Reiki practitioners wanting to strengthen their healing energy. By the end of the 3-day intensive, you can teach Reiki I through Master. This class requires six months of practice at the Reiki II level.
• ICRT Animal Reiki Master: This 3-day Reiki class provides Animal Reiki energy, plus tools and techniques needed to practice with animals and teach Animal Reiki with skill and expertise. Upon completion of this course, you can teach Animal Reiki I & II and master classes, both in person and online. The prerequisites for this course include completing Animal Reiki 1 and 2 and the human mastery level.
• Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master: This new form of Reiki – both powerful but gentle and providing purification, healing, and guidance- was introduced by the ICRT. Karuna, meaning “compassionate action,” is a profound, peaceful healing energy. You must have six months of practice and integration at the master level.

During the beginning Reiki training, Karen will help everyone with scanning so they can feel successful with it. Another exciting part of the class is learning to see auras and sending Reiki with the eyes. Students are typically thrilled with this exercise! Reiki training is not just about learning a skill, it’s about personal empowerment, helping others, spiritual development, and building a healing practice. Reiki training offers a path to healing, self-discovery, and service to others. By progressing through the levels and practicing regularly, students can unlock their full potential as energy healers and spiritual guides, feeling empowered and confident in their abilities.

Once you have received Reiki training and can teach, you can teach others how to give Reiki healing energy to people, pets, and other animals.
