 Reiki
Workshops
Reiki is taught in three levels: Reiki I, Reiki II
and Reiki III. Reiki I focuses on self healing and spiritual growth.
Reiki II prepares you to offer Reiki to others.
Reiki III prepares you to teach Reiki.
Reiki can be learned and used by anyone, regardless of experience or
spiritual belief. Once learned, Reiki can be used to facilitate healing for
yourself and for others. Reiki complements all other healing modalities, both conventional and
alternative.
Reiki Chattanooga offers Reiki workshops in the traditional Japanese branch of Reiki called
Usui Reiki Ryoho.
Reiki I, II and III are now based on this
philosophy and are called by the Japanese names Shoden, Okuden and
Shinpiden.
Shoden is a Japanese word meaning 'first teachings'. These are the
first teachings of the system of Reiki. In our practical Shoden courses you
will learn how to help yourself with a daily healing practice and how you
can also help your friends and family including your animals using Japanese
healing techniques.
Okuden is a Japanese word meaning 'inner teachings'. As the word
implies, a deeper understanding and connection to Usui Mikao’s teachings is
achieved during this course. Utilizing Japanese principles, this level
teaches how to connect to Earth and Heaven energy; the first steps to
becoming fully integrated with the universe. This is achieved through the
practice of shirushi (symbols) and jumon (mantras). This level will also
support you in becoming a professional Reiki practitioner if that is your
interest.
Shinpiden is the Japanese word for ‘mystery teachings’. It is aimed
at Level II practitioners or established Reiki Teachers who wish to continue
their personal journey, a journey that is ongoing long after you complete
the Shinpiden course. It is therefore not just about teaching and is even
suitable for those who wish to simply develop their personal Reiki practice
and occasionally teach
All workshops and
teleconferences are presented by Margaret Dexter, Reiki Teacher, Animal Reiki
Teacher and Animal communicator. Unless otherwise noted, workshops are held
at her home in North Chattanooga – details when you register.
Teleconferences are phone calls – dial in information when you register.
