Reiki Level II - Elevate the Light Within

5.0(1)

By Wild Power Alchemy

Reiki II welcomes us to a whole new depth and dimension to our practice, elevating the light within. This course is a comprehensive journey designed to deepen your connection to Reiki and provide you with an array of creative tools that will expand your energy channels and empower you to harness the profound healing energy of Reiki, whilst paving the way to practice professionally. Come prepared to spend two days with like-minded people, deepening our experience of Reiki together. Course Highlights: Review of Reiki Level One and Journey so far Initiation into the three sacred Reiki II symbols Receive the Reiki II Attunement Hands-On Treatment Demonstration, with Reiki II Symbols Self-Treatment and Practical Healing Others Practice Distant Healing across space and time, allowing you to heal your past, prepare yourself for the future and help others at a distance. Give each other a Reiki Treatment using the symbols Reiki Ethics and Values Developing a foundation for building a professional Reiki practice About your Teacher Reiki courses are taught by Reiki Master Teacher: Fionn Leitch, who will guide you through everything you need to know to be able to use Reiki confidently and begin applying it effectively in your life and relationships.  This course is designed to combine the spiritual and the practical. My style of teaching is personal and relaxed, with plenty of lightness and laugher. There will be plenty of time for questions, and time to get to know the other students. Why I teach a 2-day Course:  My original training in South Africa was over 12 weeks which covered Reiki 1 and 2 as well as acupressure and Qui Gong. It was through in-depth training, that I formed a richer understanding of energy and how it works. It gave me a deeper knowledge on the mind body connection as well as insight into myself and other people and situations in my life. I also believe the more practical experience you gain with like-minded people, set you up to be more confident as you begin your professional practice. Reiki can be life-transforming if you commit seriously to using what you learn. The more you connect with Reiki and the more skilled you become, the more amazed you will be at its powerful effects. Next Course Dates in Edinburgh: Dates: 16 and 17 November 2024 Times on both days: 9am - 5pm with an hour's break for lunch Course Includes: 2 Full days of tuition Comprehensive and informative manual Reiki II certificate, after completion of case studies Ongoing support and feedback on case studies submitted.
