Reiki 1 introduces you to the basics of Reiki energy healing. You learn the history and principles of Reiki, how energy flows, and how it supports healing. A Reiki Master gives you an attunement (also called an initiation), which “opens” your energy channels so you can connect more easily with universal life force energy. At this level, the focus is primarily on self-healing and using Reiki with family, friends, and pets.

 

Taking Reiki 1 means you are committing to exploring energy healing in your own life. You are beginning your personal journey with Reiki, often described as an awakening to your own healing potential.

  

Benefits of Reiki 1

• Emotional Balance: Supports release of tension, fear, or negative patterns.

• Spiritual Growth: Opens awareness of energy, intuition, and connection to life force.

Who it benefits

• Reiki 1 is accessible and beneficial to almost anyone, especially:

• People on a self-healing journey — wanting tools for stress, anxiety, or emotional balance.

• Caregivers, parents, or partners — who want to support loved ones’ well-being in a gentle, non-invasive way.

• Wellness practitioners (like massage therapists, yoga teachers, or counsellors) — who want to add a supportive practice to their work.

• Spiritual seekers — interested in energy work, meditation, or connecting to intuition.

• Anyone curious about Reiki — it’s the entry point, and you don’t need prior experience.

 

Reiki 1 is often described as learning to “heal the self first.” It’s the doorway into the Reiki path — simple, accessible, and life-enhancing.
