Our Reiki courses are usually conducted as Weekend Workshops, or they may be held on separate days, one week apart. They are unique, including a spiritual development component to enhance your self-knowledge, intuition and awareness of energy. You are introduced to working with energy, and healing with love and intuition rather than following a standard formula.

Reiki is a non-invasive method of healing that enhances the body's natural healing abilities. It safely supports medical treatments and is accepted in hospitals as a complementary therapy which is effective in managing stress, anxiety, pain, fatigue, nausea and improving health and well-being.

Each person is drawn to Reiki for a variety of reasons and it is an important step in the progression of anyone interested in spiritual self-development and healing, either for themselves or others.

Courses are conducted in a cosy, comfortable and confidential environment in a small group, allowing time and space for you to safely explore your ever-increasing levels of awareness, and to share your experiences if you wish.

There is much learning in sharing. When you find that what you are experiencing as the healer is also being felt by the person on the table, you begin to realise just how beautiful and powerful Reiki is.

You will experience the ease of just letting go.

"We began the Colac Reiki weekend gathered around the table in a kitchenliving area with a cosy wood fire. As we prepared food together for our "grazing table", we got to know each other in a natural, relaxed and informal environment. By the time we went into the training room (with all of our yummy nibbles), we felt that we had known each other forever. We each lit a candle to symbolise the beginning of our Reiki journey, and those candles burned for the whole weekend. I can't begin to describe the feeling of connection and togetherness that we all experienced."

Reiki 1 will enable you to practice Reiki and achieve profound relaxation and healing for yourself and others (including pets and plants).

Every time you do a treatment for someone else, you also receive the benefits. Those who have done Reiki 1 report an increase in their feelings of well-being, things “falling into place” for them in their lives, a sense of “knowing” and greater clarity, confidence and direction. Once you are attuned to the Reiki energy, it is with you for the rest of your life.

A manual is provided to participants prior to the weekend to print, read and bring to the course. The prior reading allows for a weekend of practical hands-on experience in Reiki for self-healing, receiving healing and healing others.

What you will learn:

• Explore, discover and develop your intuition so that you can recognise and trust your inner guidance

• Learn about your energy system, Meridians, Chakras and Aura

• Understand the principles of Reiki and learn the Usui system of Reiki Healing

• Learn how to administer self-treatment and treatment to other people, pets and plants

• Participate in practical sessions in giving and receiving Reiki treatment with others

• Receive Reiki 1 Attunements and a Reiki 1 Certificate

• Eight sacred symbols are given to you during the weekend. While the manuals provide the theoretical knowledge that you will need, it is the practical experience, sacred symbols and attunement process which empowers you to become a clear channel for the Reiki energy.

“We at The Reiki Association of Australia Inc. have looked over your manuals, and I must say they are very in-depth and insightful. The integrity and professionalism your manuals and teachings depict are truly something you should be proud of. Also as I have seen how brillant a writer you are, if you ever want to offer a small article for our newsletter please do so, as other practitioners and teachers may find your knowledge valuable. “
