Very well presented and in a very serene environment. One of the best CE courses I have experienced. Have been a massage therapist since 1988.

-- PS, Wilmington, NC

This course, experience and instructor not only allowed me to release and ground myself unlike anytime previously, but empowered and reassured me that my perceptions, intuition and degree of energy absorption is very relative and unique to each session and with each practitioner. Thank You!

I am so excited to apply everything I learned this weekend to my massage practice and day to day life.

This experience is beyond words. Debra did a wonderful job explaining, opening space and allowing the atunement to open and reiki to work its magic.

I so appreciate all the modalities you brought in (music, art, sacred space, stones). Your presence, cadence, manner of communication, and honoring of your students’ ideas and experience is greatly appreciated and is a gift to your students.

Reiki Part III — Evolve

Reiki is a holistic system of healing that uses natural, universal life energy for the purpose of creating health, well-being and personal, spiritual growth. In this three level system, the third degree of Reiki builds on the personal practice begun in Level I, and the more technical practice developed in Level II.

The students’ connection and understanding of the use of Reiki energy continues to evolve and deepen. Reiki Level III – Evolve, is taught in the tradition of Mikao Usui, of Japan, as westernized by Hawayo Takata of Hawaii and as understood and practiced by various Reiki Masters who have shared their knowledge and experience in publication. A deeper connection to Reiki’s history, origin and practice is developed as the Eastern philosophy of cultivation rather than more Western thought of attainment is emphasized.

In classes that teach Reiki, an attunement process is performed for each person wishing to access the energy as a healing modality. It can then be used either as a stand-alone treatment technique or as an adjunct to massage or other bodywork. The third level or degree of Reiki requires one attunement to expand the pathway in the chakra system created by the four attunements received in Reiki I, and the single attunement received in Reiki II. The Level III initiation is performed by the Master Level instructor during the Reiki class.

In addition Reiki Level III provides

A brief review of the seven chakras of the human body, the function of each and the application to acts of service. Expansion of the knowledge of the chakras includes the stage of development in which each forms and appropriate therapeutic healing practices for self-care or professional referral.
An opportunity for a complete Reiki treatment exchange incorporating all past learning and techniques.
Connection to the last of the traditional sacred Reiki symbols and to another master symbol added in the West; their names/sounds (kotodama), drawings, meanings and uses are learned
Introduction to the practice of self-initiation
Instruction for performing Level I re-attunements
Opportunity for a group past-life experience
Instruction for using the Microcosmic Orbit as meditation
Introduction of the Antahkarana as a visual meditation and healing tool
A chakra balancing technique using Reiki symbols
A broad representation of Reiki Masters and authors to encourage personal philosophical development and discernment
Connection for learners between personal growth and refinement and global growth and refinement
A safe and sacred learning environment.
Attention to individual learning styles

A Reiki Master who is available to respond to questions, experiences or concerns

Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.

Reiki is Wisdom and Truth.

It is the wish of Wakean Tanka, (The Creator), that the light enters the darkness that we may see not only with our two eyes, but the one eye which is of the heart and with which we see and know all that is true and good.
