Completing all 3 levels takes several months depending on how quickly and to what extent students comprehend the concepts and techniques. Students are not required to attend all 3 levels, but must do so in order to receive certification. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We will provide attendees with a brief overview of Reiki and a general idea of what is involved for students in one of our classes. Classes in the two locations differ somewhat due to individual teaching styles. Our classes are based on the traditional teachings of Usui from Japan. Our method is non-invasive and does not require a practitioner to be in physical contact with the recipient. Reiki is NOT a replacement for medical treatment nor do we make any claim to being “healers”.
