Usui Reiki level 1 (beginner level workshops) The first degree of Reiki is a gentle, yet life changing introduction to the Reiki energy. The four ‘attunements’ are given to a student by a Reiki Master, which aligns the student with the Reiki energy and enables them to channel Reiki to themselves, family and friends. The first degree is a 2 day program, by the end of which the student will be able to treat themselves with Reiki and also able to treat their family and friends. Reiki One is the beginning of many positive changes for each student as they begin to heal their own lives on many levels.
