Reiki as a Discipline

We teach Reiki as a tool to help build the connection with YOU and develop the relationship you have with yourself. First and foremost, Reiki is a discipline to reconnect back to you rather than the obstacles standing in your way. It allows you to show up every day to do your best, using the energy to drive you towards change.

The practice of Reiki helps stimulate the flow of energy that exists within and all around you, which in turn encourages positive changes throughout and the body and the mind. The understanding of Reiki is historically attached to Japanese Buddhist understandings, as well as other schools of thought like Chinese Meridian Theory. This belief suggests that when the meridian lines through your body are blocked, they can create negative energy flowing through the body, unbalancing the body and its energy. It is this negative energy that can lead to fear, anxiety, and confusion, all of which stop your flow and creates illness and disharmony.

Reiki can help clear this negative energy and enable you to see what lies beneath. All things are connected to past, present, future, as well as emotions, thoughts, and beliefs.  By connecting to yourself, you’ll build a pathway to strengthen and maintain the health of your body and mind, and to understand yourself and your experiences through life. Remember, Reiki is only one way in which you can connect to yourself that is best complimented by other methods (and not just energetic ones).

Reiki, as an energy force, enables you to really see, and know yourself โ€“ how we as humans work and function. Therefore, by understanding yourself, you will be able to understand other people and recognise the conscious and unconscious factors in peopleโ€™s actions. Yvette often explains that we all have the power to heal ourselves.  Each and every one of us has the power to heal ourselves from within; the problem seems to be how and the importance of keeping the discipline. Maybe itโ€™s because there is an unconscious expectation that it will happen overnight. Those who have taken the Reiki training with us have explained that they found the framework and principles provided by Reiki to be the best tools to teach them the โ€œhowโ€ and provide the discipline they needed.

Reiki is taught in different levels: Reiki One, Reiki Two, Advanced, and Masters. The purpose of Reiki One is to connect to the self and help yourself build a solid foundation; your purpose may be to heal, to get to know yourself and the feeling of Reiki. Reiki Two is about developing this understanding of you and the power of the energy itself. This is the practitioner level, but you may not be taking this course to become a practitioner as you may not want to take this step. You may wish to share the energy with friends, family, loved ones, or simply grow your understanding of others and the world.

Reiki Advanced of course takes your understanding to the next level, helping you to develop your relationship with the Reiki energy and your approach to your practice. Reiki Masters, the final level, is the teaching level, allowing you to teach Reiki to others as a Reiki Master.

When each level is completed, a certificate is given to show your completion of the course and its coursework, and you will be given the chance to continue your Reiki journey through each of the other levels.

Read more below on what each Reiki Level will offer you, and you will see information further down on how we deliver the Reiki courses.


The Reiki Levels

Reiki: Level 1

There are many ways in life to expand your knowledge of helping yourself and deepening the relationship with you. Reiki One is just one source of energy that may help to assist with this understanding and what you want out of life.

This course is designed solely around you and your own personal development by building up your connection to the Reiki energy. Students will be given the opportunity to practise and use a discipline to maintain this connection in order to enrich your process of learning. All work needs to be completed to gain your Certificate.

In this course, you will learn the understandings of Reiki and its Story, its connection to the chakras, how to use and connect to the energy using meditations, as well as how you can use Reiki within your everyday lives for handling stress and struggles.

Reiki: Level 2

Reiki Two is designed to move away from the focus on the self to the focus on others with a wider perspective of the Reiki energy. But this course isnโ€™t just about becoming a practitioner โ€“ some of you may not want to take this step โ€“ it is also about sharing and giving the energy to you, your friends, and your family.

Reiki, as an energy force, enables you to really see and know yourself, how we as humans work and function. Therefore, by understanding yourself you will be able to understand other people and recognise the conscious and unconscious factors in peopleโ€™s actions. In this course, you will learn how to conduct a complete Reiki treatment on another person and keep up a discipline in practising the Reiki. All work needs to be completed to gain your Certificate.

This course will deepen your knowledge of Reiki and its connection to the chakras, as well as move into new territory as you consider the symbolism of the body structure. This Level includes case studies, covering how to give a full treatment to another person, how give a distant healing, and how to use Reiki symbols.

Reiki Advanced: Level 3

A central aspect of the Reiki and our understanding is that it holds no judgement. If the input of our own words, thoughts, and actions affect ourselves then you can imagine how it would affect others. Learning about this cause and effect can help you to let go of any judgement for these issues, which the Reiki teachings can guide you through.

This is what Advanced Reiki is all about: connecting to your intuition, compassion, and understanding without any judgement. In this level of the Reiki, you will learn to let go of the structure and discipline set up for you in order for you to develop and use your own intuition in its place. All work needs to be completed to gain your Certificate.

Reiki Masters: Level 4

The Reiki Master Level is the final course within your Reiki journey and will move away from using Reiki as a practitioner or within treatments, and instead focus on teaching Reiki to potential Reiki students.

Upon completion of this course, you will be Certified as a Reiki Master meaning that you will be able to teach Reiki One, Reiki Two, Advanced Reiki, and Reiki Master Courses to students. In this course, you will receive instructions on how to lead each individual course as you step into the role of teacher using your own style and methods of teaching. All work needs to be completed to gain your Certificate.

Ultimately, this course will help you to develop skills as a teacher and strengthen your individual connection to the Reiki energy, how to use the Reiki symbols more effectively, and give Attunements.

With multiple sessions, you will have every opportunity to get involved, ask questions, and to learn from each other. You will be able to practice from home and complete tasks in between sessions for you to get the most out of these courses.

In-Person Courses

Please check the Events page for upcoming In-person Reiki courses.

Our In-person Reiki Training features special events that take place over the course of one or two days. Whether it is a day or a weekend, you will attend a gathering of like-minded individuals within the sanctuary of our Head Office at Holly House. This is a practical, interactive, and open experience for you to share with others as you explore the Reiki energy and the discipline you can use for yourself.

Many of our past students have praised the welcome environment these in-person events hold, giving students not only a safe space to open up, but also connections that may hold for years to come. Students often return to future Reiki training through our Refresher discounts: an opportunity to relive and relearn all of the possibilities Reiki holds.

For Level 2, 3 & 4, you will gain the unique opportunity to put into practice the techniques learnt throughout the course as you learn alongside others. You will be able to receive live support and guidance from our Reiki Masters during the event, helping you to improve and further understand how you can use Reiki in your own style. Our in-person events are centred around the practical and hands-on application of all that you learn within this special group dynamic.

As a Reiki student, you will also be able to participate in our Reiki Mentorship Group as an optional addition to your Reiki Training, so keep reading to find out more.

Hear what others have to say…

โ€œI had always thought that Reiki was a bit weird and โ€˜out thereโ€™ and not the sort of thing that I would be drawn to but having experienced Reiki treatments from Yvette and Lindsey I became intrigued about something that seemed to be very powerful and effective. I went on the Reiki one course to find out a bit more about it and to see if I could use it primarily to manage anxiety and stress. The course was so much more than I imagined and gave me a tool that I use every day to manage stress but also to enhance my work. I work in a creative industry and it gives me the space and confidence to work in the best way I can. I was so impressed with the Reiki one course that I did Reiki two soon after. It is a powerful tool to help to maintain your own well being and that of others around you and it is something that I use every day now almost without thinking. The support and guidance from YLK mentors has been exceptional and it has been a truly life enhancing experience.โ€
