Reiki Level 1 for Psychotherapists 

Training and Certification

the next training is on October 6 from 11am-6pm

in-person with one hour lunch, Midtown Manhattan, NY

Reiki is an energy healing modality, with many possible applications for Therapists. This training is a first step for those interested in Reiki-informed Psychotherapy, but is also a thorough introduction to the practice of Reiki.

All Reiki training begins with the physical (Level 1), which creates the foundation for practice. For many therapists, this seems to suggest that Reiki cannot be used to enhance therapy practices until Level 2 and Beyond.

I developed this training to offer a through foundation of understanding energy, while also exploring how we can observe and work with energy in our sessions. Whether you choose to offer Reiki directly alongside your therapy practice, or prefer to focus on self-care, this training is an expansive exploration of a Reiki-inspired approach to life.

Reiki can be defined as Universal or Spiritual Energy. It is lifeforce energy, that quality that makes something alive.

Reiki Level 1 prepares us to work with Reiki energy on the physical level, to practice with friends and family (and yourself!) and to begin incorporating the practices into your life. It creates the foundation for understanding Reiki’s history, how it works, and the structure of learning the art of channeling energy. This training includes:

  • Brief history of reiki (from a decolonial perspective)

  • Overview of energy, and how we work with it

  • The precepts (foundational concepts of practice)

  • Ethics of reiki

  • Attunement to reiki energy (sealed for life)

  • Hands positions (Tenohira) for working with others and ourselves

  • practical techniques for beginning to incorporate reiki into therapy contexts

  • time to practice!

  • Explore population-specific questions, as determined by the unique needs of the group

  • Preview into level 2

  • Practice Manual
