What is Reiki?

Reiki is a beautiful and profound practice that offers a simple yet powerful way to enter into deep meditation. Rooted in a history of healing and calming the mind, Reiki is a form of high vibrational natural energy that is accessible to everyone. Unlike practices tied to specific religious beliefs, Reiki provides a neutral and inclusive approach to meditation, allowing individuals from all walks of life to experience its benefits.

Reiki promotes healing and stress reduction, making it an ideal method for those seeking to soothe their minds and find inner peace. Whether you are new to meditation or have been practicing for years, Reiki’s gentle and effective techniques can help you reach a state of profound calm and relaxation.

“I wanted to train in Reiki for a long time and it’s certainly been worth the wait. The set up for the two days was relaxing and laid back, and a nice space to explore and experience the feelings that flowed. A great investment, a great experience, and a great opportunity to share this with others.” – Theresa

A 21 day cleansing period follows the course, where each student practices daily self-healing and writes a reflective journal, taking care of diet and ensuring as much rest as possible. After this period, the student practices for a further 3 months before returning to their teacher to demonstrate their Attunement and Treatment process.

 

Reiki Masters: Cost

  • Reiki Masters are arranged directly and by request. Two days are needed to complete this.
  • £795
  • £150 deposit required to secure your place

On successful observation, the student receives their Reiki Masters certificate and may teach all Reiki levels (if they wish).

What is Reiki Attunement?

The attunement process is experienced by sitting eyes closed for approximately 10-15 minutes while the Reiki Master (an eastern term meaning teacher) activates the crown, third eye, heart and palm chakras.

This allows the universal life force energy to permanently flow through the receiver.

When giving Reiki, we too receive the infinite energy as the Reiki Practitioner.

Reiki is safe and no transference of negative energy is possible.

All 3 of the Reiki Levels are designed as a cleansing process on physiological, emotional & mental and spiritual levels respectively.

The student may wish to study each level for their own benefit only, or they may wish to become a Reiki Practitioner and / or Master.

All options are well supported.

Full payment must be made before the start of the course. Once booking is made, courses are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. However, if you do need to change your booking for any reason please get in touch and we will do our best to offer it out to try and fill your space, once filled we can transfer you to a new date.
Please note we require a minimum of 6 people to run the Reiki training. Class sizes are small, with 7 students in both courses.

“A journey of self discovery… Should be essential for all Doctors; perhaps we would burn out less, and bring deeper healing to our patients!” – Ruth

“I stumbled upon the Unity Centre in search for a Reiki Master Teacher course. Sevanti, the course provider & teacher is such a remarkable lady. For anyone looking to progress further or even start on their Reiki journey, then look no further. The entire experience felt just magical and the environment is perfect. I wish I had found Sevanti earlier as the experience I had with other Masters when starting out myself, never felt anything like this. You have to experience it yourself to believe it.” – Rachael
