Reiki Level I: The Awakening (Shoden)

WHY LEARN REIKI I?

Reiki Level 1 is where your light turns on. It is the foundation of your journey, focused primarily on opening your energy channels and learning to heal yourself. It is a gentle yet powerful awakening that allows you to manage your own energy, find inner peace, and offer comfort to those closest to you.
