You are introduced to Reiki as an energy healing method and will learn that one of its unique features as a complementary therapy is that you can give Reiki to yourself. This enables you to participate fully in your own wellbeing which is a strong foundation for helping others.
You will receive full guidance on the procedure and hand positions to practice Self-Reiki which includes the seven major chakras and also the procedure and most practical ways for sharing Reiki with a family member or friend in a chair.

If you find meditation difficult and want a more ‘hands-on’ practice, Reiki is perfect for this.
It is also very helpful for insomnia. A lot of people who do their daily Self-Reiki at bedtime find themselves falling asleep before they have even finished.
No belief in Reiki is required, just an open mind and heart, a spirit of curiosity and a willingness to experience Reiki first hand. 
At its simplest level, Reiki activates the relaxation response which gives your body the opportunity to access its own healing intelligence. At deeper levels it facilitates spiritual growth, restores energy imbalances, calms, deeply relaxes and can ease minor pain.
