The First Degree Shoden Certification
Our First Degree Shoden Reiki Certification course introduces you to Reiki Universal Life Energy, its principles, and how it works. Learn about the history of Reiki, the energy body, and the Chakra system. We’ll cover essential self-care, protection, grounding protocols, self-healing hand positions, and practicing Reiki on others. You will also gain insight into kundalini and receive a treatment along with the attunement to Symbol 1.
Shoden Reiki Meaning
Reiki Shoden, known as Reiki Level 1 (for Reiki Ceritification), marks the beginning of your journey into the sacred art of energy healing. “Shoden” translates to “first teachings,” signifying the foundational wisdom you will receive. This level focuses on nurturing your inner healer and mastering the basics of channeling Reiki energy for yourself and others.
In our Reiki Shoden Course, you will:
1. Embrace the Essence of Reiki: Delve into the rich history, principles, and philosophy of Reiki, connecting with its ancient roots and profound wisdom.
2. Receive Attunement: Experience your first attunement from a Reiki Master, opening your energy channels and aligning you with the universal life force energy.
3. Learn Hand Positions: Discover specific hand positions for self-healing and for sharing healing energy with others, harmonizing various parts of the body and energy centers. –
4. Cultivate Energy Awareness: Develop a heightened sensitivity to the flow of energy within your body, learning to identify and address blockages or areas in need of healing.
5. Practice Self-Healing: Engage in self-healing techniques to promote your own well-being, balance, and spiritual growth.
6. Perform Basic Treatments: Learn how to conduct complete Reiki sessions on loved ones, friends, and even pets, sharing the gift of healing with those around you.
7. Incorporate Meditation and Breathwork: Enhance your practice with meditation and breathing exercises, deepening your connection to the Reiki energy and maintaining your energetic balance.
Reiki Shoden is the gateway to deeper levels of understanding and mastery, laying the foundation for advanced teachings in Okuden (Level 2) and Shinpiden (Level 3), where you will explore more powerful symbols and techniques. Embrace this sacred path and awaken the healer within.
Before Attending the Reiki Course
For the first degree Reiki Shinpiden workshop there are a few basic things you should do in preparation.
These guidelines will enable you to get the most from the workshop and the Initiation ceremony.
Avoid taking alcohol or any other form of drug for at least forty-eight hours before the workshop.
These substances slow and hinder the flow of Reiki throughout the body.
Meal Prep for the Reiki Course
In advance of your Reiki course avoid eating meat, fish, processed foods or any other junk food for at least twenty-four hours.
If possible, have a day of fresh fruit, salad and vegetables. The digestion of food takes more energy than any other bodily function. Proteins and highly processed foods take more time to digest and will steal vital energy from your body.
If possible, meditate each day for a week before attending the workshop. This will help to focus your thoughts, expectations and mind on becoming a Reiki channel for healing.
Our Reiki courses are in Toronto, or can be offered remotely via Zoom.
