Service Description

Level 1 certification is a practitioner's initiation into Reiki and is open to anyone. The focus during Level 1 is on opening the energy channels on a physical level, allowing the practitioner to connect to the Universal Life Force Energy of Reiki, which flows from the heavens through the crown of the head, down to the heart and hands, Through the legs and feet, Out and Down into the Earth. Many Reiki Masters emphasize self-Reiki as the goal of the Level 1 designation, encouraging students to focus on practicing Reiki on themselves, thereby working through their own obstacles, however the student also learns how to give a Reiki Treatment to others also. The Level 1 course also includes an overview of the history of Reiki, Traditional Fundamentals, and hand positions for both hands on healing for self and others. What to expect during a Level 1 Attunement: The Reiki Level 1 attunement was initially given in four separate attunements. There are some Reiki Masters who still teach using this method. However, many Reiki Masters provide the Level 1 attunement in a single session. After the first attunement, many experience physical symptoms of energy in their palms—including tingling, coolness, or heat. Anxiousness, exhaustion, and sadness are not uncommon after the Level 1 attunement. Due to the intensity of the attunement process, some Reiki Masters, as with our tradition, recommend that at least 28 days to a full three months pass between receiving the Level 1 and Level 2 attunements (Level 1 is required to participate in Level 2).
