01Who it’s for
Anyone. You don’t need any experience or special ability, and Reiki isn’t connected to any religion. Many people take Reiki 1 simply for themselves, as a calm daily practice.
02Before the course
When you book, you’ll receive a home-study pack: a detailed manual (PDF, or printed if you prefer) and audio tracks with commentary and guided meditations. Allow around nine hours over a couple of weeks to work through it at your own pace. Together with the course day, the training adds up to around 15 to 16 hours.

Reiki 1 is for yourself, your family and friends. Reiki 2 is the practitioner level.
