What is that...? Reiki

Reiki translates as "spiritual energy" and is the name given to the abundant energy in the universe. Nowadays the word also refers to the systems of healing that utilise this energy to support the body's natural healing process and help to restore a state of wellness.

If you want to find out more about Reiki Healing, here's a short instructional video:

Reiki CPD

Reiki in the UK has been undergoing a long process of self-regulation and as a result, recommendations have been made by a working committee to establish a more professional approach to this particular therapy. One of these suggestions is the inclusion of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) requirements. Therapists are encouraged to continue their studies with Reiki through attending workshops and shares and incorporating new techniques into their understanding. At the moment, CPD work is voluntary but this may change as more therapies are being regulated by government bodies such as the CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council).

Membership of The UK Reiki Federation requires the Reiki practitioner to complete at least 12 hours of CPD work each year (with a minimum of 6 hours specific to Reiki).

One of the useful ways in which you can gain CPD hours while improving your techniques is to attend one of Mark's Reiki Shares. For more details, visit: http://markbarwell.co.uk/reiki_shares.php

If you have studied a Western style of Reiki (such as those known as "Usui Reiki"), you can increase your knowledge and practice of Reiki by studying the Japanese style of Usui Reiki Ryoho. This system includes energy techniques, philosophies and practices that are not usually taught in Western styles, including a different perspective on the 5 Precepts. These studies also count towards your CPD requirements!

Existing Reiki students will receive a 20% discount on studying the Japanese style up to and including the level that they are trained to (click on each course title for more information):
1st Level (Shoden) - 1 day intensive workshop only £100
2nd Level (Okuden) - 1 day intensive workshop only £160
Master/Teacher Level (Shinpiden) - 2 day intensive workshop only £400
