Reiki Classes - People and Animals
Joyce teaches a classical form of Reiki called Usui Reiki Ryoho. This form has its roots in Japan and is not the same form as is normally taught in the West. With Usui Reiki Ryoho, the focus is on personal healing and spiritual development with hands-on-healing being the side-effect of the practice.
A Free Workshop: What is Reiki??
Always wondered what this hands-on healing practice is all about? Come join this FREE*workshop and you'll discover how to relax, center, and heal yourself and your life. Learn how Reiki can help the animals in your life too. Next Classes: Sunday, January 8th, 2012 from 2p-4p and Saturday, February 4th, 2012 from 10:30a-12:30p

Shinpiden, Reiki Level IIIA, Master Class
The third, and final, level to the system of Reiki is Shinpiden (meaning Mystery Teachings). This is the beginning of your Master's training. Here, we learn the 4th symbol in Reiki, the Great Bright Light, and most of our meditations and techniques during class will be focused on feeling our connection to the Great Bright Light that is already inside of each of us. You'll also learn how to perform a Reiju (spiritual blessing).
This class does not include the Reiki Teacher training. This will come later, in IIIB. It is important to first develop a personal relationship with the energy of Reiki and to start to discover our relationship with ourselves and with the universe before we start teaching others. The more we "become" Reiki, the more authentically we can teach others. Next Three-Day Class: March 10, 17, 24, 2012
