Reiki is for many people an exciting and wonderful beginning, for others, this Course will be an opportunity to explore Reiki further, maybe from a different perspective or gathered with others in a new space and time… Maybe you’re sensitive to people and situations, and Reiki training acknowledges something about energy you’ve had a feeling about all along. It might be where your journey begins, or a way for it to continue.

This is a course for beginners, and those who know the value of a beginners’ mind.

I teach the traditional, foundational system of traditional Japanese Usui Reiki Ryōhō… and I'll weave in a little bit of herbalism, as is my way. My teaching is grounded, inspired by a deep connection and respect for the reciprocity of nature, and a sense of belonging to the natural world. Reiki helps you find your true self, your essence, and be able to hear and acknowledge your intuitive self-knowing.

The Usui System of Reiki teaches tools and techniques for self discovery, self healing and connection with life energy.

• Notice energies in everyday life,

• Become aware of what affects your life energy’s vibration and flow, and

• Learn techniques for connecting with, perceiving and raising your personal energy with self-healing practices.

This first level is called ‘Shoden’ which means ‘first teachings’, and we will learn about the foundational practices and elements of the System of Usui Reiki. In this practical beginner course, you will learn how Usui Reiki offers self-healing practices and a way of life which uplifts and protects your personal energy.

Whether you're looking for a way to relax, manage stress, protect your personal energy, or connect more deeply with yourself and others - people, animals, places - Reiki offers a path to holistic well-being.​ It is simple and accessible to practice, anyone can do it.

During the course, you will learn:

• The structure of the Usui Reiki System;

• What Reiki is and how to use it in daily life;

• How to practice Reiki hands-on self healing, and how to share Reiki with others;

• How to connect with the life energy in plants, animals and nature; 

• 3 herbal remedies which are supportive to foundational Reiki practices;

• Receive Reiju - a Reiki attunement;

• ​Receive a comprehensive manual;

• Certification of training and attunement;

• Your confidence, relationship and empowerment in Reiki continues beyond the training day, and I offer the following ways to support you in an ongoing way:

  • Free access to an online ‘Reiki Resources’ section of this website, with recorded meditations & techniques;

  • Opportunity to attend a monthly Reiki share group here in North Berwick;

  • The option to join the Membership area, to receive a monthly thematic curated post.

You can come even if you’ve never experienced Reiki before - this Reiki Level 1 course is designed for complete beginners.

You will be learning in a small group of up to 6 people with me, Liz Thomas. I am an Usui Reiki III (Shinpiden) Master Teacher, and I’m fully insured to teach and practice Reiki.
