In this Reiki Level 1 training, you will gain a foundational understanding of Reiki, including its history, key lineages, and principles. You will explore the subtle body, the chakra system, and the basics of energy healing. Through hands-on practice, you will learn essential Reiki hand positions and the steps to channel Reiki energy for self-healing, as well as for supporting others—including people, plants, and animals.
After a Reiki Level 1 training, you will be attuned (the opening of the energy channels to allow the practitioner to connect with universal life force energy) and initiated as a Level 1 Reiki practitioner. This initiation marks the beginning of your journey as a Level 1 Reiki practitioner. At this stage, the focus is on developing a consistent self-practice to strengthen your understanding and experience of Reiki.
While Level 1 allows you to share Reiki with family and friends, a Level 2 training and attunement is required to conduct full Reiki healing sessions professionally.
Upon successful completion of this training, you will be certified in the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage.

Join YogaSole for a serene weekend meditation retreat at the Blue Cliff Monastery in Pine Bush, New York, from October 24 - 26th. Take time to pause, recharge, and embody the values of mindfulness and peace.
At the monastery, we will engage in the programming and delicious meals with the fellow retreat attendees. In addition, we will have four group yoga and mindfulness sessions led by Dena Levitz.

The second step to becoming a Reiki healer is the Reiki Level 2 training, which requires a Reiki Level 1 certificate. Reiki Level 2 can be taken directly after Reiki Level 1, or you can leave as much space between the trainings as you need.
During this training, you will be introduced to the powerful Reiki symbols and instructed in their proper use. You will learn to send Reiki from a distance, bridging time and space with the Distance symbol.
You will receive the Level 2 initiation attunement at the end of this training. After your Reiki Level 2 training, you'll have the ability to do distance healing work, and you'll be able to work with your own Reiki clients. You'll receive the Reiki Healing Touch Manual.
Upon completion, you'll be certified through the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage.
