Reiki is a healing art and a spiritual evolutionary practice, passed on from Master to student flowing from the esoteric teachings of Tendai Buddhism. The mainspring of Reiki is an initiation called a “Reiju” which empowers and amplifies the energy of the individual.
In this series, students learn the Japanese Healing Art of Usui Shiki Ryoho, the Usui System of Natural Healing, from Beginner to Master and finally Master Teacher level. This form of energy healing was founded in Japan approximately 100 years ago by Dr. Mikao Usui. It is used in the United States at most major hospitals, including The Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, The Cleveland Clinic, and many others.
In the Art of Reiki Collective, we use evidence-based approaches in a clinical setting, including Biofield Imaging and Biofield and Auric Field Reading, to work with our clients and ourselves.
The Art of Reiki Collective teaches with respect to the original Tendai Buddhist view. From that view, Reiki I is known as "Shoden" and covers:
Mudras for focusing and intension power
Precepts derived from the Tendai Buddhist sect of Shungendo
The invocation of “the secret method to invite happiness” and “the spiritual medicine for all diseases of the body and mind”
Poetry as Path
Cleansing Techniques
Meditation Techniques
Balancing Energies
Sensing Energies (Subtle Energy Body)
Daily Practice
The Reiki I - Shoden course is a prerequisite to Reiki II - Okuden teachings.
Friday Evening will be recorded for international students. Saturday and Sunday involve live healings, and participants need to be in attendance for certification.
