However, these workshops also provide stand-alone value in that they offer tools and training that can be used In day to day life even if students do not pursue further stages of training.)

In Reiki self treatment students will learn and practice the hand positions that relate to the major and minor chakras (energy centers) in the body. The energy transmitted through the hands serves to activate and balance the energetic system in the body. Students will also be introduced to treating injuries, illnesses and imbalances in their body, mind and spirit.

Introduction to Meditation - Deep Relaxation and Breath work

Primarily using the “Meditating with the Body”© techniques developed by Reginald Ray PhD (I studied with Reggie for 12 years), students will learn embodied meditation using simple breathing practices (pranayama) that deeply relax and enliven the body. Students will become familiar with working with the subtle energies (prana). The practices are introduced first in a prone position (constructive rest) and then in a sitting position so that students can also learn to bring relaxation and embodiment to sitting meditation.
