Usui Reiki Ryoho First and Second Degree Classes

Reiki is a Japanese spiritual practice and healing technique that makes use of Reiki, meaning “soul energy.” Reiki is a simple and easy-to-learn technique that nourishes the body, mind, and soul of practitioner and client alike. It is traditionally offered via laying-on-of-hands and often has profound results. Students receive empowerments called reiju (also called initiations or attunements in some lineages) to become Reiki practitioners.
