Courses

I run Reiki courses for individuals or small groups as and when requested, I usually have no more than four students at a time so as to give each student more personal attention. I generally prefer to see all prospective students as clients at least once before accepting them onto a course. The attunement can be a very powerful process, and it's important to make sure that the student is at the right place in their lives to integrate the changes it can bring.

Every Reiki teacher (sometimes called a Reiki Master) will bring through different aspects of the energy depending on their individual experience and level of personal and spiritual development. So it's important that students feel that I am the the right teacher for them and they are comfortable with the energies that I am bringing through. I have been training students in Reiki since 2006 and previously had five years experience as a University lecturer.

Next Shoden Reiki 1 Courses

The next two courses that I have planned are as follows:

Sunday 11th March (with follow up day/afternoon to be arranged)

Sunday 29th April (with follow up day/afternoon to be arranged)

Please apply early as there is a few weeks preparation to do beforehand. If you cannot make these dates I can organise another course to suit your requirements, so please get in touch.

"I found Jane's Reiki 1 course remarkable and informative, it has been a significant event in my life. I have great confidence in the tools Jane has given me as a valuable means of care for my own health and wellbeing."

Reiki is unique among healing systems because of the attunements or empowerments that are passed from teacher to students during the training courses. The attunements help connect the student to the Universal life force or Reiki energy. I teach Reiki as a cultivation practice, so the courses are merely the beginning of the student's development with Reiki, which will be intensified over time through their own meditation and practice of connecting with the energy on a regular basis.

I am trained in western Reiki through the William Lee Rand lineage and traditional Japanese Reiki through the Chris Marsh lineage. My courses combine elements of both the western and the traditional Japanese lineages, as this gives an authentic system of Reiki which is also relevant to the world we live in today.

Shoden Reiki 1 - Self-Healing and Personal Use
This course focuses on self-healing and cultivation of the connection to the Reiki energy, as well as the basics of healing others. Without self-healing and developing our connection to the energy, we will always be limited in what we can do for others. Even those who seem to be physically, emotionally and mentally robust, can benefit from healing to strengthen and deepen their inner spiritual connection.

The course includes:
The history of Reiki and its development
The five Reiki precepts
The concept of mindfulness
The three energy centres and exercises to develop them
Traditional Japanese exercises to cleanse and to protect
Different techniques for self-healing and healing others
Practicing a full supervised Reiki treatment

The cost of the course is £140 per person. A reduced rate is available for those who have already trained in the Western lineage. The course usually takes place over two days for two or more people or a single day and an evening for one to one students.

Okuden Reiki 2 - Reiki Practitoner Level
This is a practitioner level course, but can also be taken purely for personal spiritual development purposes. I generally recommend that students wait at least six months before moving from the first to the second level, in order to have time to integrate, and work with the energy.

The course includes:
The traditional Reiki symbols and their use
Techniques for distant healing, including practice
Healing our own emotions, in order to work more effectively with others
Further traditional techniques for working with others in a more intuitive manner
Practicing techniques during a supervised Reiki treatment

The cost of the course is £170 per person. A reduced rate is available for those who have already trained in the Western lineage. The course usually takes place over two days for two or more people or a single day and an evening for one to one students.

Shinpiden Reiki 3 - Reiki Teacher Level
This is the teacher level course, but can also be taken for purely personal spiritual development purposes. I generally recommend that students wait at least a year before moving from the second to the third level, and if students do intend to teach that they have had sufficient practice of giving Reiki treatments either professionally or as a volunteer.

The course includes:
The Master symbol
Advanced techniques for meditation and healing
The attunement and empowerment process
Structuring courses and training others

The cost of the course is £450 per person. The course is usually taught over two days, but can be arranged to suit your personal requirements.

A Reiki Teacher is sometimes referred to as a Reiki Master, but it is important to realise that the title does not necessarily reflect a particular level of spiritual attainment or mastery, it merely indicates that a person is qualified to teach Reiki to others. Reiki was originally conceived as a spiritual path, rather than a healing system and, if approached in the correct manner with dedication and perserverance, it can be a powerful aid to spiritual growth. I encourage all my students to integrate and embody the energy within themselves, and to see it as part of a broader spiritual growth which goes beyond the limitations of any one system.
