HEED-902 The History and Practice of Reiki
This course integrates the concepts and theory of Reiki with hands-on practice and an appreciation of the spirit. Students will be exposed to underlying philosophy of this healing tradition originating in Japan. Healing practices grounded in energy medicine such as Reiki require a different way of knowing. The influences of energy, spirit and the body are explored as being foundational for successful therapeutic intervention. This process draws directly on the unique connection between the healer and the client. Reiki I will be used to introduce practitioners to self-treatment, treatment of others, and the understanding of energy, spirit, and body connection. Students will be prepared for Reiki I certification.
