​Reiki Reimagined - a solid foundation for a lifetime of transformation 

 

This class is the culmination of many online class experiences, deep listening to my clients, other Reiki students, and strong intuitive and divine guidance.  My intention with this class is to provide a profoundly new way of initiating new Reiki practitioners into this incredible healing art. By dividing the class into 4 sessions of 4 hours over 4 weeks (6 weeks for master classes) students receive a full month of support, encouragement, growth and healing.  I have noticed that in the traditional ways of teaching Reiki (2 or 3 consecutive 10 hour days), students often reach a point of over saturation with the material and often may not retain all of the information as a result.  By presenting the information in 4 hour increments, students are able to be fresh, engaged and fully present throughout the entire class time and have an entire week to integrate, practice and more deeply engage with the material.  When they return the following week, they not only have better retention, but have meaningfully engaged with the information and have deeper questions and insights to share with the class. 

 

Relationships among the students also deepen as they share their journey across a month's time, rather than a weekend, providing a greater sense of community and greater likelihood of continuing this support system beyond the end of class (on-going student reiki chat available for all Willow Ridge Reiki Students).  In order to maximize our face to face class time, I removed approximately 4 hours of in class “lecture” time and replaced it with active engagement, supplemental information and additional Healing Experiences and Placements.  To ensure the information is still presented and received, students receive a pre-recorded video presentation discussing a different topic each week throughout the course.  This presentation can then be viewed at their leisure, anytime before the next week's class.  (number of videos and frequency will vary among the different courses)  

 

I consistently hear from students that their favorite part of Reiki classes is the personal healing and revelation received through the Holy Fire Healing Experiences and Reiki Placements.  The information, tools and techniques provided are vital and important, but direct experience with the Reiki energy is ultimately what transforms lives.  This class structure allows for double the number of Healing Experiences and double the number of Placements.  (Reiki I/II) This gives students an even stronger connection with the energy and the greatest likelihood of continuing their Reiki practice, as they can more readily see and feel the affects.  In addition, it is universally accepted that the best and most important factor in increasing the amount of Reiki you can channel is by using it!  This is also a huge benefit of this class.  Despite our greatest intentions, it can be challenging to make changes to our routines and ingrained habits.  Research shows that it takes 21 to 28 days of repeated action to create a new habit.  By spending 4 weeks focusing on utilizing and accessing Reiki energy, at course completion, daily Reiki use will be a habit, and about halfway to becoming automatic. (Around 66 days) This dramatically increases the benefits and healing possibilities of Reiki in their lives and provides a solid foundation for growth, health and wellbeing.  

 

Other benefits: 

 

- For some, two or 3 long days of focused learning is too much physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.  

 

- Those with attention challenges tend to find these classes much more accessible and compatible with their learning style.  In addition to being shorter, the time is divided between classroom discussion, lying comfortably receiving the Healing Experiences or Placements and skill utilization, providing a comfortable rhythm to each class.  

​

- Parents and caregivers of all kinds often find it easier to access a class in 4 hour blocks

 

- Those with physical or health challenges may find 4 hours to be most compatible with their physical comfort, stamina and wellbeing.  

 

- Receiving the ability to channel Reiki energy requires a reorganization or adjustment of our energetic body.  This process can be more dramatic and impactful for some than others.  By dividing the class into smaller doses one can more gradually adjust to these changes and often allow for a more smooth and comfortable period of adjustment.  

 

I deeply believe that I have been called to offer these classes to increase the accessibility of Reiki and continue the evolution of Reiki instruction.  Please feel free to reach out or sign up today if this reimagining of Reiki class feels right to you, or with any additional questions you may have.  Jennifer Taylor (540) 729 - 0301, jennifertaylor@willowridgereiki.com.
