ENERGY TRAINING

 
     
 
REIKI is the universal life force energy. The trainings teach you a method of activating and balancing the chi present in all living things. It involves laying hands on the body and channeling energy to organs and chakras. It is useful for health maintenance, disease prevention and for healing self and others.

Reiki I attunes you to receive the energy and apply it to yourself and others through proper hand placement.

Reiki II attunes you to receive a higher frequency of energy. This allows you to do absentee healing, water and crystal purification. You will be given symbols to enhance your work.

Reiki III and Advanced Reiki involves advanced attunements and symbols and frequently teaches psychic surgery and meeting Reiki guides and the use of crystals.

Reiki Master training is for those who want to teach or take the trainings to the highest level.

Karuna Reiki® - Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is translated to mean any action taken to diminish the suffering of others. It has a "different feel" than Usui Reiki and some people believe it to be more powerful. There are two practitioner levels and two master levels (teacher) with 3 master symbols and 8 practitioner symbols. It is a registered trademark by the Center for Reiki Training founded by William Rand.

There are several different methods of Reiki taught, question your instructor about specifics. You will generally receive a certificate and manual. Unless noted trainings are one day and you must take each level before taking a more advanced one.

Reiki Exchange. Many Reiki Masters provide opportunities to practice. See "Groups and Gatherings" for listings.

Quantum-Touch® is an easy-to-learn energy healing modality, which uses the principles of resonance and entrainment to facilitate healing. The Quantum-Touch (QT) practitioner learns to focus and amplify life-force energy by combining various breathing and body awareness exercises. Applying QT has been found to enhance other healing arts modalities, such as Reiki, Qigong, massage, etc. For more information about Quantum-Touch, articles on applying QT, a free online newsletter, stories from practitioners, a schedule of workshops, and more, please visit: www.quantumtouch.com.

Therapeutic Touch. A scientific adaptation of the ancient technique known as "laying on of hands." TT seeks to restore balance within the body while also stimulating the person's own healing response. During a TT treatment, practitioners use their hands, without actually touching the person, to reestablish a health energy flow. It is a holistic method used by both healthcare professionals and the public for deep relaxation and healing.

The W.I.S.E.™ Method (Wholistic, Integrated, Spiritual Energy) - Developed by Dorothy A. Martin-Neville, PhD, founder of The Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences, LLC, is a treatment modality utilizing specific healing techniques to support both organic and systemic function. A practitioner is trained to Assess, Balance and Change the energy flows in the body to support health and/or healing through the bio-field, the meridians, and the chakras. Great emphasis is placed on the psychological and spiritual correlates or causes of physical diseases and disorders allowing the practitioner to support a client multi-dimensionally in their own healing.
