Reiki Level 1

Reiki Level 1 is the first step on your unique journey with Reiki that begins with and centres around, self-healing.  You will be attuned to the Reiki energy and taught how to use the Usui System of Natural Healing to heal imbalances and activate the natural healing processes in yourself and others using spiritual energy.  Once you are attuned to it, Reiki remains with you for life and you are able to call upon it whenever you wish.  It is natural, simple and easy to learn yet its capacity to bring harmony and health is enormous.  Reiki is simply wonderful!

  • This 2 day Reiki Level 1 Course includes:

    • Theoretical and practical training

    • 2 attunements

    • Comprehensive manual

    • Certificate

    • Post-course support

    • Light refreshments

  • I usually run this course in Pilley, near Lymington, Hampshire.

  • £170 for a two day course

Reiki Level 2

Reiki Level 2 (Practitioner level) is the next step on your unique journey with Reiki.  Study at this level deepens your knowledge of Reiki and intensifies your ability to channel the Reiki energy for the benefit of both self and others. Reiki 2 will lead you further along the path to self-discovery and healing and on ‘graduation’ from this level, you are able to take out insurance as a Reiki Practitioner and subsequently treat members of the public with Reiki and charge for this.  

At level 2 you are introduced to three of the four Reiki symbols or ‘keys’ and are given a further attunement (spiritual empowerment) which activates the symbols in you and increases the amount of healing energy you can channel.

  • This 2 day Reiki Level 2 course includes:

    • Theoretical and practical training

    • 1 attunement

    • Comprehensive manual

    • Certificate

    • Post-course support

    • Light refreshments

  • I usually run this course in Pilley near Lymington, Hampshire.

  • £230 for a two day course

 FAQs

  • Yes! Reiki is accessible to anyone who has the desire to learn. Whilst the various hand positions involved may be inaccessible to some people with physical disabilities, Reiki can still be delivered through the power of intention - which is also how distant healing is possible! I only teach over 18s, but besides this, everyone is welcome to join my training courses.

  • There is very little preparation required for Reiki training and you don’t need any particular spiritual knowledge.

    If you are joining one of my Reiki courses for the first time then I would encourage you to have a treatment with me first so that we can get to know each other and you can decide if I am the right teacher for you.

    Once you are enrolled on a training course, I will send you an email a week or more before the course starts, with some optional lifestyle suggestions to set you up for the best possible experience.

  • If you have been trained in Usui Reiki Ryoho in the past, you are welcome to join my classes for a refresher or to further your training (e.g. you can join me for Level 2 if you have done Level 1 with another teacher). However, different kinds of Reiki can not be mixed. So if you have trained in a different kind of Reiki, then you will have to begin again at Level 1.

    Please get in touch if you would like more clarification.

  • There are 4 levels in Usui Reiki Ryoho:

    Level 1: Reiki Usui Shiki Ryoho First Degree - for healing yourself, friends & family

    Level 2: Reiki Usui Shiki Ryoho Second Degree (Practitioner) - for offering Reiki as a service to the general public

    Level 3a: Reiki Usui Shiki Ryoho Third Degree (Master Practitioner) - for access to an increased level of healing energy

    Level 3b: Reiki Usui Shiki Ryoho Third Degree (Master Teacher) - for teaching Reiki to others

    I currently offer Levels 1 & 2, but will be expanding to teach Levels 3a & 3b in the near future. Visit my events page to find out when my next courses are runnning or get in touch to register your interest.

Testimonials

  • 'The two days I spent with Gillian and my fellow students of First Degree Reiki was an absolute delight. In an unhurried but detailed way I discovered so much about Reiki - its theory, history, meaning and its practice. Gillian is not only extremely knowledgeable she is a natural teacher and I feel very fortunate to have her as my Reiki Master Teacher.'

  • ‘Excellent training - thoroughly recommend! Gillian is an excellent teacher as well as an all round lovely person. The training was for just 3 of us which worked out perfectly in that it was a small enough number to be intimate and personal and enough of us to practice on each other and to have Gillian experiencing our practice one at a time. The venue is a little challenging to find but is situated in a lovely little village in the New Forest (...) The training with Gillian was for me. But the training gave me the confidence and desire to treat other people so much so that I bought a massage table and have been encouraging family and friends to come for a treatment. The feeling of peace and oneness whilst treating others is absolutely wonderful. I'm already booked for Gillian's Reiki Level 2 training! Thank you Gillian.’

  • ‘Gillian provided a brilliant weekend course for Reiki level 1 and I was sad when it ended! A very kind and helpful trainer who provided a lovely setting and thorough training in the first steps of Reiki. As an anxious person, I was a little nervous prior to the course but Gillian put me at ease straight away. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to learn to go with Gillian. I can't wait to be able to book the level 2 course with her!!’
