Overview
The teaching of Reiki is a time of Student and Master coming together. The relationship between the Student and Master form a special bond, one that is supportive to both of them. It's a time of maintaining a relationship that continues to empower the student; I encourage my students to find their own answers deep inside themselves.

When we change our way of thought we can truly experience oneness with all things, becoming one with man and nature. To get to this point we need to de-clutter and throw out all the old unwanted negativity and allow new growth, new seeds to create peace within ourselves.

In the First Degree - Shoden you will be awakened and empowered through the energy, you will become more open and aware, experiencing light and stillness. Find out more about the Shoden Reiki course and its costs.

The Second Degree - Okuden is known as Practitioner Level it is for anyone wanting to practise Reiki as a profession, although Mikao Usui's intention was for furthering self-healing and spiritual development only. This degree will take you to a deeper level of consciousness and oneness. Find out more about the Okuden Reiki course and its costs.

Master/Teacher - Shinpiden enables the student to teach and to hold classes. Not many people take this higher path, but once they do, everything from this point becomes Reiki- you live it! These courses are delivered by arrangement only. Contact Jenny now to discuss your requirements.

I teach the original Japanese Reiki in the Usui tradition in its simplest form, uncluttered and powerful, covering also Western and Traditional teachings. Courses are generally held in my cabin located in a sleepy Wiltshire hamlet overlooking lovely, open countryside creating a calm and peaceful environment. The Course is usually held on a weekend, or by arrangement, they are very informal and enjoyable with every opportunity for discussion. You will be introduced to exercises enabling you to experience different levels of energy, tuition on the history of Reiki and 'hands on approach'.

Time is given for quiet and meditation. When Reiki is experienced for the first time it is a very special emotion and not to be hurried! Read what my students say about these courses

Details of the First Degree Course - Shoden

For the Course weekend it is recommended that you wear loose comfortable clothing, and please bring a packed lunch. Tea and coffee etc will be provided.

On the Course weekend we will talk about the origins and history of Reiki, where it comes from, and the Reiki principles. During the first day you will be given three, simple but powerful connections called Reiju empowerments. This traditional Japanese empowerment will open you up to the Reiki energy, allowing it to flow through you, enabling you to give Reiki treatments to your family and friends and those around you. These simple empowerments will stay with you forever.

We will do some self-healing meditations and self-healing treatments, so you can feel the energy making you stronger and creating a clearer channel for Reiki, energy exercises called Hatsu Rei Ho will also be taught. It is a very important discipline to treat yourself everyday. The Western approach to self-healing will also be covered giving you a strong foundation in both systems.

Energy exercises will be demonstrated and practiced, sometimes in pairs or by yourself, these are fun to try and a very effective way of experiencing energy from a different perspective e.g.: Feeling Energy between your hands; in a partners' hands; pushing someone off balance using Energy and playing with 'Energy Balls'!

During the afternoon we will talk about treating other people and how this is done. I will introduce Reiji Ho, which is 'scanning' the body with your hands allowing your intuition to be involved, you will then practise this exercise and discuss how it felt for you. When this has been completed you will pair up with another student and give a full Reiki treatment, front and back of the body, and get feedback from them before you swap!

We will do some more meditation exercises for you to end the day calmly and peacefully.

Second Day
On the morning of the second part of the Course, we will review and go over the things we did on the previous day and questions and any points can be raised.

A further treatment will be given and received by each student giving them a strong knowledge and foundation for the 'hands on' approach and Reiji Ho.

A general overview of a Japanese self-treatment meditation will be given and how self-treatments are done in the Western way.

A Certificate will be awarded after completion of the Course.

On going Support
After the Course has ended you can contact Jenny by telephone or email her for on-going support, this can be about the Course or experiences and questions with Reiki.

Details of the Second Degree Course - Okuden.

For the day of the Course weekend it is recommended that you wear loose, comfortable clothing and please bring a packed lunch. Water, tea and coffee etc will be provided.

Reiki Second Degree is 'Practitioner Level'. It is essential training for anyone wanting to set up a practice as a professional, although this wasn't what Usui Sensei intended, it is how Reiki has evolved. A gap of at least three months needs be taken before the Second Degree, to enable students to experience and practice Reiki on their family and friends and themselves. When the time is right to progress, Reiki will let you know! Not everyone will go forward to this level; it is entirely up to the individual and their own spiritual path.

We start the Course by discussing and reviewing the experiences the students have had since obtaining their Reiki First Degree. how people, who have received Reiki by the student felt and the feedback; and how students feel within themselves.

At Reiki Second Degree three symbols are introduced and detailed information will be given on their individual meaning, pronunciation and how they are used when giving a Reiki treatment. A range of different ways the symbols are used will be explained when used in practice.

Three empowerments will be given during the course of the day and you will be introduced to various energy exercises. You will use the symbols on each other to practice their effects and learn how the symbols are used to treat others and also yourself. The symbol for distance healing creates a state of oneness and can also be used for treating someone; it does not however, produce energy! It creates a state where you can move beyond time and space. So I will instruct you how to draw it; how to say its name; and how to send it.

A meditation exercise will be carried out before the close of the first day.

Second Day
At the beginning of the second part of the Course we will do a comprehensive review of the things we did on the previous day. Students can raise questions and any points they wish to discuss.

We will go through the symbols again to make sure they are fully understood and students will demonstrate their knowledge by using them on each other in various ways.

The Western approach to Reiki and how it differs from its original form will be discussed and demonstrated. We will do a Reiji Ho exercise, which opens students up to the Energy. This technique develops your intuition and intent by guiding your hands to the individual needs of the person receiving Reiki.
