JIKIDEN REIKI® SHODEN (LEVEL 1)
The journey of Jikiden Reiki starts with shoden.
The first shirushi (symbol) used in Jikiden Reiki, along with its meaning and proper usage.
Useful Reiki techniques for use as basic first aid.
Ketsueki Kokan (kekko) - a blood circulation technique used to assist the body's natural cleansing process.
Hatsurei-ho - a meditative practice that will help you develop sensitivity to Reiki movement in your hands.
Reiki Mawashi & Reiki Okuri - energy perception and building exercises for group practice.
Unique cultural perspectives that will clarify many of the teachings found in Reiki practice.
Shoden is the foundation of Reiki practice. This level you will learn basic techniques, concepts and history of Jikiden Reiki. The techniques taught have a simple approach with a focus on physical treatment. You will learn how to provide reiki treatment to others as well as to yourself, and many practical everyday uses for Reiki. This is a two day seminar that features a balance of theoretical learning and practical hands-on instruction. When the seminar is finished, you will understand the content and be confident in putting what you learned to use. There are no prerequisites for participation in the shoden level seminars.
