Feel Better and Take Control of Your Life

Stop making choices out of panic. Learn how to regulate your nervous system quickly, so you feel balanced and relaxed.

When you’re balanced, your body’s self healing is optimized. You quickly feel better, more relaxed and present, and every system in your body starts working better. That quickly leads to better sleep and digestion, among other improvements.

Reiki is a non-invasive, light touch practice that helps restore balance to your whole system. When you’re balanced, you feel better and you function better. You feel calmer, steadier, more confident, less anxious. And you make better choices, ones that truly support you and those around you.

I teach the traditional Reiki practice I learned in 1986, the practice that was taught by Hawayo Takata, who brought Reiki from Japan in the late 1930s.

What’s in the online Reiki Self Care class?

Small Group Live Interactive Training

The group is small enough to give everyone individual attention, and large enough for you to learn from the other students' experience.

Daily Self Care

The focus of the training is how to practice daily self Reiki, and why you want to, including science-supported benefits to your health and well-being.

Protocol Instruction and Practice

You'll learn how to give yourself and others a full Reiki session. We'll practice together and you'll practice on your own at home.

Discussion / Q & A

We'll discuss Reiki history, culture, safety, and your Reiki practice experience, with lots of time for your questions.

I have a new awareness of self that I did not expect. Taking care of myself has become more of a priority. Otherwise, I don’t like the way I feel. — Danielle Green

Frequently Reported Benefits of Reiki Self Practice

Sleep

Improved sleep is a common and early response to Reiki practice that leads to many other improvements. When you sleep well, your body is better able to self heal. Awakening refreshed means you're less likely to rely on stimulants and sugar for energy during the day.

Digestion

Improved digestion is another common and early response to Reiki practice. That means you'll feel more comfortable and able to get full nutrition from your food. And with 70% of your immune system in your gut, your immunity improves with your digestion.

Self Confidence

People often say, "I feel more like myself" with Reiki self practice. You can look forward to being more comfortable in your skin, more empowered and less prone to overwhelm. A sense of "coming home" is another commonly reported spiritual benefit.

Relationships

Feeling better overall and feeling better about yourself--less anxious, less defensive--quickly translate into more satisfaction in your relationships. You'll feel less reactive, more present and patient. You'll listen better and communicate better.

Esteemed Collaborators:

Meet Pamela Miles

I’ve been practicing Reiki since 1986 and teaching since 1990. I came to Reiki practice as a meditation teacher with nearly 25 years of spiritual practice experience, and practiced four years before starting my yearlong Reiki master training.

Since then, I’ve devoted myself to bringing Reiki practice to the mainstream public (people like you!) and to conventional medicine. I’ve taught at Yale medical school (among others), lectured at Harvard Medical School and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and presented Reiki practice to Google and Unilever.

Each time I teach, I learn more from my students about what helps them learn Reiki practice more easily. I bring everything I’ve learned in more than three decades of teaching Reiki practice so you can learn traditional Reiki at home. Let me repeat: I teach Reiki practice as I learned in 1986, with a focus on daily self care. I’ve practiced self Reiki every day since I first learned to practice.

“I teach the Reiki practice I learned in 1986, with a focus on daily self care.

I’ve practiced self Reiki every day since I first learned to practice.”

Why Learn Reiki Online?

My live, small group, online trainings make traditional Reiki training accessible to more people, including those who don’t have the option to attend an in-person training. Here are a few of the reasons people have shared for wanting online classes:

Environmental Sensitivities
Restricted mobility
Social anxiety
Scheduling conflicts
Childcare needs
You need someone with you to translate
You can't find a local qualified teacher
You already practice but want to deepen your experience

Learn Reiki self care online with me in an interactive, small group live training that is as close as possible to being here in the room together.

The focus of our training is your daily self care. You’ll learn a full protocol for daily self practice and modifications to practice as needed. We’ll practice together in our virtual Reiki room and you’ll practice at home. You can attend the online sessions live using your computer, phone or device (check requirements here).

The online Reiki training is organized in 3 sessions with time to practice at-home. Each session includes in-class practice and discussion, with ample time for all your questions.

My classes are open to both students new to Reiki practice, and people who already practice but want to deepen their experience and review the basics.

I feel especially committed to serving parents, as your whole family benefits when you start feeling better, more vital, more patient, more in touch with your love in the moment.

Students who learn to practice Reiki with me from their homes are engaged in practice and receive follow-up support.

Pamela has insight and wisdom that most people just don’t have. - Marc Winn

“Since January 2019, I've been offering small group, live videoconference trainings to make traditional Reiki instruction available to those who cannot find a local teacher and class that are meaningful to them, and to those restricted by health or lifestyle needs.

In the years I've been teaching online, I've seen that those students are just as engaged in practice as those who learn in-person.

And that's the point of learning to practice Reiki, that you actually continue to practice on yourself after the class ends."

– Pamela Miles

More about Your Online Reiki Class

After our first session, you’ll practice at home at least twice before we meet again in the next day or so. In our second and third sessions, you’ll share your experience practicing at home. We’ll discuss your questions and I’ll weave in relevant information so our time together stays relaxed and conversational. We’ll also practice together in the second and third sessions.

This online Reiki class is live and interactive. You’ll get the most by simply being present, no note-taking. However, it’s up to you if you want to jot anything down when we take a break.

Each Reiki training I offer is unique in that each class is a co-creation with the people in that particular class. Being with a small group of other students enhances your experience; we all learn from one another.

All trainings include a discussion of spirituality, science, history, safety, combining Reiki with conventional medicine, and the Reiki Precepts, but different groups go more in-depth in some areas than in others.

A unique quality of the videoconference trainings is that we connect across the barrier of distance. The participants in a recent class spanned 10 time zones, some starting their day while others ended theirs. To me, that highlighted the timelessness of our self practice, how it is always useful, valuable, and needed.

“I am especially committed to serving parents, as your whole family benefits when you start feeling better, more vital, more patient, more in touch with your love now, in this moment.”

How is this training different than in-person training?

There’s a huge advantage to the timing of the online classes — you have a week to practice at home before our final session. That gives you a chance to ask questions that come up as you’re practicing at home. It also means you’ll hear our last discussions with the understanding that comes only from actual practice experience.

Given that we’re not in a room together, we cannot practice on one another during class. That’s why I refer to the videoconference trainings as Reiki Self Care. In our videoconference training, you’ll learn everything you need to know to practice self Reiki, by practicing self Reiki together in class, practicing at home, and through the information and perspective I’ll share during our discussions.

That said, the foundation of both my online and in-person trainings is daily self practice. Both videoconference and in-person trainings are thorough and I provide follow-up.

I cannot compare my trainings to classes offered elsewhere because there are no agreed-upon standards for Reiki practice and training. Please do your research so you can make an informed choice about which Reiki training will be most impactful to you.

For example, some Reiki teachers don’t understand the difference between teaching and giving information. Their classes are short (maybe as short as 90 minutes), allowing no time for in-class practice. Disappointed students often report being handed a manual and given an initiation, then sent on their way with no continuing support.

Daily self practice is often completely overlooked, or suggested for only 3 weeks. That’s unfortunate because we need Reiki self practice everyday. Even a little bit of Reiki self care can bring you back to yourself and improve your day.

While I am a very traditional Reiki master in many ways, I decided in 2018 to offer videoconference trainings to make traditional Reiki training accessible to people who cannot find a local teacher/class that is meaningful to them and those restricted by health or lifestyle needs.

What Type of Reiki Will I Learn in this Class?

I’m so glad you asked! People often don’t realize there are currently many approaches to Reiki practice, some of which don’t trace back to Reiki founder Mikao Usui. I teach old-fashioned Reiki practice, taught traditionally, albeit in a contemporary venue. I practice and teach Reiki as taught by Reiki master Hawayo Takata, who brought the practice from Japan in the 1930s with her Reiki master Chujiro Hayashi, a direct student of Reiki founder Mikao Usui.

That’s the practice I learned in 1986. That’s how I still practice. And that’s the practice I’ll teach you.

That means you’ll learn authentic Reiki practice online at home: simple, accessible, and very effective.

In the years following Takata’s death in December 1980, Americans made many changes to the practice, wrapping it in New Age trappings and adding unnecessary complications, usually without acknowledging what they have done. As a result, most people who think they practice as Takata taught, actually do not.

A Few Details to be Mindful of:

All sessions start promptly; ending time is approximate.
You'll begin practicing Reiki on yourself during the first session.
Be prepared to share your camera so we can all see one another during the entire session.
If you're not in the Eastern US time zone, it’s up to you to confirm what time the sessions are offered where you are.
Please arrange to be in a quiet room by yourself and log-in a few minutes before each session starts.
