Qigong and Reiki

Reiki Level 2 Hybrid 12-Week Course
Open to Level 1 Graduates
*In-person and Online

Level 2 continues to deepen your practice with distance Reiki (absent Reiki), supports the embodiment of new skills through the exploration of cross-cultural energy-work practices that dovetail with Reiki, and offers ample practice opportunities to reinforce learning. The course also explores a non-dogmatic spiritual perspective inspired by Master Usui’s guidance, including the concept of Anshin Ritsumei—living in alignment with one’s highest purpose beyond physical healing.

A note on how this course evolved:
The first time I offered the Reiki Level 2 course, it consisted solely of traditional Usui Reiki Ryōhō content—the same material that is now covered in the first three sessions of this course. At that time, the price was the same as the current pre-sale rate.

After reflecting on my own Level 2 training, as well as other courses that incorporate chakra theory and cross-cultural approaches to energy work, I decided to expand the Level 2 curriculum. This led to the development of the current 12-week format.

Please know that you are receiving the full traditional Reiki training, along with the added benefit of optional cross-cultural theory and practice, Reiki practice sessions with volunteer recipients, and Q&A sessions in between. If you are primarily interested in traditional Reiki, you may choose to complete only the first three weeks and opt out of the remaining sessions. The additional material is included because it has been meaningful and supportive in the evolution of my own practice.

Overview:
This is a comprehensive 12-Week Course that includes:
✨ 6 hours of training traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho (臼井靈氣療法)
✨ 6 hours of cross-cultural energy work theory and techniques
✨ 6 1-hour distant Reiki practice sessions
✨ 6 1-hour Q&A meetings between each distance session

Reiki Level 2 is designed for students who have completed Level 1 and want to continue deepening their practice with additional techniques. Level 2 is recommended for those who wish to learn distance Reiki (absent Reiki), deepen their skills, and explore a broader (non-dogmatic) spiritual perspective inspired by Master Usui’s guidance, including exploring the concept of Anshin Ritsumei—living in alignment with one’s highest purpose, spiritual enlightenment beyond physical healing.

Level 2 is often the required certification needed for volunteering in healthcare or wellness settings, and it’s also the step many take if they want to offer Reiki more broadly in their community, including starting their own practice, as it is widely recognized as the minimum standard.

About the Addition of Cross-Cultural Energy Work

Many Reiki classes combine healing theory from other cultural backgrounds. A unique feature of this class is the integration of Qigong and Ayurvedic energy work. They are clearly delineated from traditional Reiki teachings in this class, but are complimentary to the practice. Topics from Qigong as a therapeutic system derive from traditional Chinese medicine theory. TCM energetic healing involves the 3 Dantians and meridian systems that connect the body’s organ systems. Topics from Ayurvedic energy work theory refer to chakra energy centers. We will explore the relationship between cultural energy work practices as they naturally compliment each other.

This comprehensive course includes guided practice, ample time to try out new techniques, and opportunities to ask questions and share experiences. Online practice sessions include distance Reiki with volunteer recipients. Students receive a Reiki Level 2 certificate and leave ready to use Reiki for distance energy work and to participate in community or professional settings.
