Reiki II (5/17)

Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki II Training

This Level 2 Reiki training is one of the most thorough and comprehensive available and builds on the Reiki I training. It is a combination of the Western style as introduced by Mrs. Takata, the Japanese Reiki Techniques and the Holy Fire® healing energy.


The class is a combination of lecture, discussion, demonstration and practice time. In Level 2, students will receive 3 Reiki Symbols and we will discuss the use of Chakras and Crystals in Reiki.

Plenty of practice time is given.


A class manual and a certificate are included (if you did Reiki I at Zen & Now you will have already received the manual).

If you have already completed Usui Reiki I training elsewhere, please email us your certificate. Completion of Reiki I training is a pre-requisite to take Reiki II.


Questions

If you have questions, please contact Lisa at 860-739-2625, or email lisa@zenandnowct.com


In the process of learning to be a healer, we'll be practicing on each other and receive healing as well. This is a wonderful class for the beginner and is also valuable for those who have already taken Reiki training.


Cancellation policy: No refunds. Studio credit will be applied for cancellations made more than 48 hours in advance of the training. Cancellations may be done via the Momence app, or by contacting the studio at lisa@zenandnowct.com. Thank you for your understanding.
