Reiki Shoden (Level 1) is the introductory course into the traditional Japanese healing art of Reiki, focusing on self-healing and personal energy awareness. Shoden means “first teachings,” and this course serves as the foundational step for anyone wishing to explore Reiki for personal growth, wellness, or future practice.
What You Can Expect:
This course is a blend of guided instruction, meditative practice, group discussion, and hands-on experience. No prior experience is needed.
What Comes Next:
For those who wish to deepen their Reiki journey, Reiki Okuden (Level 2) is the next step and will be offered in the Spring. Okuden introduces the use of Reiki symbols and mantras, techniques for distant healing, and ways to work with Reiki at a deeper mental and emotional level. It is ideal for those who want to expand their practice for family, friends, or professional settings.
Whether you’re seeking a tool for self-care, spiritual development, or to support others, Reiki Shoden Level 1 is a transformative and empowering beginning.
