Reiki Training on Vancouver Island
 
Reiki 2 class, Saturday, October. 23rd. 2010   10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m
 
Workshops are friendly and comfortable if taken as part of a small group or individual tuition is available.  While you see women in the above pictures, be assured that men also take the Reiki classes and couples often learn together.   Everyone enjoys Reiki.  It belongs to all.
 
The traditional Usui Natural Healing System is taught with Japanese Reiki techniques integrated.  I use the traditional symbols of the Usui Reiki line and I use the attunement method I received and was taught.  Please scroll down for the class outlines for each Reiki level.
 
Where are classes held?
 
I teach in my home which is close to Campbell River.  The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable and the environment is non-smoking, pet and fragrance free. I will also work with families in their homes.  This option may be best if there is a family member who would benefit from ongoing healing energy and some of the family wish to learn how to treat with Reiki.  Workshops are offered in alternate locations with suitable site and adequate registration.  If you wish to have a Reiki class in your area please contact me.   
 
How are dates set?
 
When someone requests a Reiki class I will work out a suitable date and time with them.  Classes usually run on the weekend.  However, there are other ways of organizing the lessons.  For example, if you live nearby, you may choose to learn in the evenings.  I will work around the group or individual’s schedule.  We may need to be flexible if people are traveling distances .  At certain times of the year I am also free to teach during the week.
 
How long are the classes?
 
The exact length of the class depends on the number of participants in the workshop and the level.  Generally speaking, participants  should plan on 10 to 12 hours divided over two days for Reiki 1.  Reiki 2 may be offered in one day.  The amount of time needed can also be spread out over consecutive evenings if you live in the area.  
 
After we have set a date and time other students are welcome to join us and, if possible, we will adjust the schedule between us until it works for all.  The classes are kept small and friendly and you will have lots of hands-on practice so that you feel confident when you give Reiki.
 
Will I have follow-up help later if I need it?
 
Yes, of course!  Opportunities for follow-up practice will be provided and I am also always available to offer support.   I find my students usually keep in touch with me through e-mail and just drop by for a visit.  We also exchange Reiki and if you wish you are invited to join our weekly meditation and healing group.

After the workshop or classes I expect you will, at this stage, be keeping in contact with me for a while via e-mail, phone, or just dropping by if you are in the area to discuss how things are going for you.  I am always here to support your journey and to learn from you.  
 
 
Fourth Degree/Reiki Level 3B Master Teaching Level
 
Depending on where you live this course may be structured in different ways.   At a minimum we need to spend about 24 hours together based on four days of at least six hours each.   There are no restrictions on how much time the course takes.  I will work with you when and as you need me.  I will need to see your prior Reiki certificates if you are not a returning student.
 
Ideally I organize this course as ongoing mentoring.  To begin, we need to spend two days or about 12 - 14 hours working together in person to cover the printed course material.  If you are local we can meet frequently for less hours at a time.  If you are traveling I will work with you to make sure we have plenty of personal contact time and also manage to communicate on a regular basis via e-mail or telephone
 
Subsequent hours are for you to “fine tune”, receive feedback, ask questions, discuss ideas, and generally develop your own understanding of how to organize and teach Reiki classes.  You will be welcome to attend any classes I am organizing and I will be happy to attend your classes to help out when you are certified.  
 
I do ask that that you obtain a text for this level.  The Spirit of Reiki by Walter Lubeck, Frank Arjava Petter and William Lee Rand - Lotus Press, ISBN 0-914955-67-5 is very comprehensive - being written by three long-standing  Reiki Masters - and lends itself to in-depth discussion of many concepts.  It is also a good reference book.  We will look at other books in the course and discuss how they might be useful for students at different levels of Reiki training.
 
There are many important elements that must be covered in class  We will do thorough reviews of all previous Reiki level content.  We will discuss the symbols at all levels and you will learn how to pass attunements for each Reiki level and will practice the technique on others.  We will also discuss the various attunement methods Reiki Masters may use.  We will discuss and note aspects of the Western and Traditional Japanese Reiki methods.
 
We will discuss how you will organize and teach the content of your Reiki classes.  You will be given copies of my binder pages and certificate template and may use what you wish with your own students.  As you develop your own practice you will probably create your own printed material.  There is content which must be covered at each level and then there is the opportunity to add other elements that are personal to you.  We will discuss business issues and how and where you will conduct your practice.
 
Above all it is important to remember that there is responsibility attached to becoming a Reiki teacher and it is important to be clear about your own motivations.  This is a joyful, spiritual  journey we are on together and we will learn much from each other.  Together we can learn and work simply, with compassion and gratitude, for the highest good of all.
