If you are considering Reiki training, consider Karen Harrison at Whole Life Center. Reiki training offers a unique opportunity to amplify your healing energy using Reiki symbols. Reiki training is a journey that introduces individuals to the principles and practices of Reiki healing, empowering them to channel universal life force energy for personal and others’ well-being. In these classes, you not only learn about Reiki but also experience its benefits firsthand.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that uses gentle touch or non-touch techniques to channel universal life force energy into the recipient. The Japanese technique of using Reiki to heal the body, mind, and spirit is a ‘hands-on’ technique. Reiki practitioners use touch to bring healing and balance, drawing on universal lifeforce energy. In a Reiki training class, you learn how to give Reiki healing energy to others and yourself. Reiki training provides a structured path from basic self-healing techniques to advanced mastery and teaching skills. Each level builds upon the previous one, offering deeper insights, more refined techniques, and more significant personal and professional development.

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. In Reiki I, you will learn what Reiki is, how it heals, the history of Reiki, how to scan your body for blockages in the energy field, how to give yourself a Reiki treatment, how to scan someone else for blockages, and how to give all the standard hand placements. You also receive the empowerment for Reiki I, which is called an Attunement in some schools, and a Placement in the Reiki training that Karen teaches. There will be time for education, questions and answers, and hands-on practice with another classmate. In Reiki II, you learn the symbols for Reiki. The Power symbol increases the power of Reiki. The Mental/Emotional symbol heals emotions, thoughts, and relationships. The Distant symbol sends Reiki at a distance and can send Reiki back or forward in time. You also receive empowerment through Reiki II energy. Then, you practice giving a complete Reiki session using an intuitive method of Reiki based on your scanning.

During the 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! Being able to send Reiki with the eyes is not just a fascinating skill but also very practical for everyday situations like sending Reiki at your child’s soccer game and during meetings. At the end of class, you will learn how to send a distant treatment and will practice it on each other so that you can feel the results. Even better – on each day, you receive a Reiki treatment and get to take a nap!

Reiki is not just a practice for a select few; it is accessible to anyone, and people from various backgrounds can learn and practice it. There are no specific prerequisites for Reiki training, and individuals with different belief systems and spiritual traditions can incorporate Reiki into their lives. The practice is non-denominational and doesn’t conflict with any religious beliefs.
