Reiki Training: Usui Reiki Certifications I + II

Everything that is alive in the world is made of up energy or life force. It flows all around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force helps to nourish your organs, regulate your cells and overall improve your vitality. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it can diminish and reduce the function of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body.

With Reiki, a trained practitioner helps you restore your body to optimal function by flowing Reiki energy through the affected parts of your energy field. In doing so, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energetic pathways in your body, allowing your thoughts, feelings and body to flow in a healthy and natural way.

In a Reiki session, a practitioner will either place or hover their hands over key energetic centers in your body and will channel Reiki energy to you to promote relaxation, clarity and healing.

While Reiki is considered by many to be spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. Practitioners and initiates are free to continue believing anything they choose and are encouraged to make their own decisions concerning their religious or non-religious practices.

A Reiki attunement is the process by which a person receives the ability to access or give Reiki energy. Attunements are given to students during training by a Reiki Master Teacher Trainer.

During an attunement, the Reiki Master Teacher will use sacred and secret movements to inscribe the student’s soul with sacred Reiki symbols and energies. Reiki Attunements are guided by a Higher Power and as such, make natural adjustments to be exactly right for each student.

During the attunement, some students feel warmth in the hands, others may see colors or have visions of spiritual beings. However, it is not necessary to have an inner experience for the attunement to have worked. Most simply feel more relaxed.

Reiki is a practice and technique that is passed down from teacher to student and over and over again. When you receive a Reiki attunement, you will become part of a succession of teachers, leading back to the founder of the Reiki system one is practicing.

The Collective Studio’s Reiki School is part of the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage, leading back to Dr. Usui, the father of Reiki.

During a First Degree Reiki (Reiki I) attunement, or what is sometimes called “initiation” the student will receive four attunements. This is said to be the most important.

A Reiki I training will primarily focus on self-healing and practicing Reiki energy with friends and family. Students are typically not ready for a professional practice following a Reiki I attunement.

At a Second Degree (Reiki II) attunement the initiate receives one attunement which considerably increases the power and use of their Reiki healing.

A Reiki II training will provide the student with more versatility as they will learn how to send Reiki energy anywhere and how to use Reiki in every aspect of their lives. They will also learn how to incorporate sacred Reiki symbols in their healing sessions.

Please view the top of this page for a breakdown of the Reiki I + II curriculum.

It is recommended that Reiki I + II trainings be completed with at least 21 days in between to allow for the integration, purification and cleansing process following each attunement. Our training calendar is thoughtfully organized to allow for this 21 day period.

What you do with your Reiki training depends on your intention for signing up for a Reiki certification. Some options may include:

• Self-practice and healing

• Deepening your own spiritual path

• Incorporating Reiki into your  wellness or yoga business

• Taking private Reiki clients

• Offering Reiki at events or yoga studios

Yes! This is actually quite common. 

Most students who complete a Reiki training do not go on to set-up a professional practice.

While you’ll learn about teaching methodology and how to be a Reiki practitioner, that is just a small piece of training.

In our program, you will learn how to strengthen your intuition, understand how to bring meditation into your daily life, and gain the tools to find healing, peace and clarity for yourself, among many other topics.

Before signing up for a Reiki training, take time to consider your intention.

The three days prior and through your Reiki training weekend, we recommend reducing alcohol and caffeine and getting sufficient rest - do not engage in any activities that may deplete your energy. You may also consider reducing your intake of meat and dairy.

During Reiki training, make sure to nourish your body with high vibrational foods, stay hydrated, get restful sleep, and reduce your use of digital screens. You may also enjoy journaling or meditating.

A Reiki attunement will affect all students differently. Some may feel nothing and others may experience a wide array of effects.

After a Reiki attunement, it is common to have physical changes and emotional shifts. The reason for this is because a Reiki training raises your vibrational level, which in turn creates shifts and changes in your body — both physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

You may feel:

• Nothing at all

• Lighter/freer

• Happier/energized

• More relaxed

• Back pain

• Strong emotions

• Digestive challenges

• Colds/headaches

• Insomnia/restlessness

• Tiredness

• Vivid dreams
