REIKI WORKSHOPS

About the Reiki Attunement Process
Reiki Attunements open and expand the Ki-holding capacity and clear energy blockages. They open a channel for the Reiki energy to flow from practitioner to client. The more a practitioner uses Reiki the clearer and stronger the flow becomes.The attunement process is what makes Reiki stand apart from other types of healing systems. Although others healing arts may use hand positions on the client, only Reiki has the wonderful benefit of the attunement process. For this reason, you cannot learn Reiki through reading about it, it has to be transferred by a Reiki Master Teacher.

REIKI I WORKSHOP
