Traditional Reiki Classes in New York City

RESPECTING THE CURRENT NEED FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING: Traditional Reiki training in New York City is currently being given in a series of small group, live, interactive videoconferences to accommodate the need for social distancing. This enables you to start practicing Reiki Self Care and supporting your health and well-being as soon as possible. For those who are in the New York City area, we’ll have options for in-person practice once the pandemic has passed and it is safe to gather in-person. Your choice of traditional Reiki training could be one of the most important decisions in your life. Learn to practice traditional Reiki and you can quickly relieve pain, anxiety, insomnia, indigestion and other symptoms that are more troublesome when we are stressed and out of balance.

My Reiki self practice helps me be more loving in my relationships, trust life more, relax more and sleep better. — Marc Winn

Traditional First degree Reiki practice is easy to learn. Most people practice in bed, while falling asleep or awakening, so Reiki integrates easily into even the busiest lifestyle. Reiki self-practice might not be the only thing you need to feel better, but it will help you feel better and function better quickly. Once you feel happier and healthier, it’s much easier to meet life’s challenges, whether you are digging out from under, or building an empire — or somewhere between the two!

Thank you for your beautiful, incredibly effective Reiki training. I got so much out of your teachings. Since the training, I’ve been practicing self-Reiki nightly and it’s making a very big difference in both my work and my life—it’s quite amazing, actually. I’m calmer and more able to handle everyday stresses. My clients (and kids) have been more vocal (in a positive way), and I feel more confident about my work than I’ve ever felt. — Kym O’Neill

Reiki practice can transform your life even when life is difficult. Like during a pandemic…

Since my First degree Reiki training with Pamela Miles,  I have been practicing Reiki on myself every day. I did not expect to feel much difference from Reiki because I have already had spiritual and healing practices in my life for years. Yet since I learned to practice Reiki, I have slept better (a huge issue for me), felt more peaceful, been more patient with my oppositional child, and had much easier access to a sense of wellbeing and happiness — all this at perhaps the most stressful time in my life, with my husband in the hospital recovering from cancer. I practice Reiki on my husband in his hospital bed as well, but somehow I’m more surprised at the differences in my own well-being than at how he falls into a deep relaxation and light snoring sleep within the first five minutes of his Reiki session and has thus far avoided many harsh side effects of his treatment. This practice is life-affirming and life-changing. — Tara Greenway

I have been teaching Reiki since 1990 and offer at least one class a month in New York City. Sign up here and I’ll let you know as I schedule classes. In these classes, I teach traditional Reiki training. I teach the practice as it was taught by Hawayo Takata, the Reiki master who brought Reiki practice from Japan in the 1930s. That’s what I learned in 1986 and how I still practice, with no New Age embellishments. Can’t get to New York City?

Why traditional Reiki training matters

Do you know there are no standards for Reiki training or practice? That’s why it’s important for you to make an informed choice. I teach the practice as Reiki master Hawayo Takata brought it from Japan in the 1930s with her Reiki master Chujiro Hayashi, a direct student of Reiki lineage founder Mikao Usui. Reiki Classes: What’s Right for You, guides you to the information you need to choose a credible training with a qualified teacher. You are welcome in my New York City Reiki First degree classes even if you already practice. However, it’s important you approach the class as a beginner. If you do so, you’ll leave with greater clarity and a deeper practice experience. I also offer various Reiki continuing education classes.

Many thanks for your profound teachings. — Aileen Rosen
