Beginner’s Guide to Reiki Level I Certification in Columbia, SC
Not all Reiki training programs are the same. Some are short and theoretical, others are long and impersonal, while some feel scattered and more off the cuff. Your first experience with Reiki training should feel deeply personal, hands-on, and life-changing, because that’s what Reiki itself is. Choosing the right Reiki Master/Teacher for you is the crucial first step. It can determine whether someone feels connected and confident or confused and uncertain in their abilities at the end of training. You should feel an easy rapport with the person, and he/she should be able to clearly explain what Reiki is, and what their training includes. One way to see if you connect is to schedule a Reiki healing session with the person whose program you’re considering. If you feel comfortable with them and your healing session, then ask them some questions about their training program to get a sense if it’s right for you.
Whether you’re curious, highly sensitive, feel the need to have a tool for selfcare, or feel called to serve others through energy healing, Reiki may be what you’ve been searching for. A Reiki Level I certification could be the beginning of an incredible transformational journey for you.
What is Reiki Level I?
Reiki Level I, also called Shoden, is the entry point into the healing art of Reiki. In this foundational training, you learn how to channel Reiki energy for self-healing and to support others such as friends, family, and pets. But beyond the technique, Reiki attunement has the potential to guide you on your spiritual path through helping you:
Learn to trust your intuition
Recognize Karmic patterns
Let go of emotional baggage and unhealthy habits
Deepen your connection to peace and presence
