Healing the mind - Buddhist Philosophy
Reiki, founded by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui in the 1920s, includes five precepts. Buddhist Philosophy is essential for students studying Reiki and is the foundational link to understanding the afflicted mind states and their antidotes. "First heal the mind, for the body to become sound." Usui. This extensive resource pack offers a years program of self study, supported by teacher feedback to your questions.
Online Reiki Meditation Practice
Reiki is simple to learn and easy to apply. This ongoing class offers guided meditations and support to build your practice. Together, we’ll cultivate routine, motivation, and the courage to explore your inner landscape. Reiki enhances focus, emotional balance, and deep relaxation—no prior experience needed, just an open heart and mind. Join us on this spiritual journey and let Reiki transform your life.
Compassionate Path Teachings
Anyone who has studied Buddhist Philosophy will naturally migrate to the Bodhisattva Path or Compassionate Path practices. For the Reiki Practitioner this path will bring the 3rd, 4th and 5th Reiki Precept alive as you embody the way of a compassionate heart/mind. Anyone interested to explore the Compassionate Path Teachings is welcome to the class.
