Here is what I offer in Reiki:

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words, Rei and Ki, which translate to spiritual energy, the source of all beings and things. The use of Reiki energy is an ancient and holistic healing method involving gentle touch. The System of Reiki, founded by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900s, is an amazing system developed and taught for spirituality, self-healing and personal growth.

Reiki is the energy of divine, unconditional love, and is easy to work with. Ki is the Japanese form of chi or prana, referred to as life force or vital energy that exists in everything. When we work with Reiki we work with this energy to enhance our body's vitality and our connection to everything.

A session of Reiki quickly brings one to a place of peace and deep relaxation, a place that assists bringing the body into balance, boosting the immune system and stimulating one's own healing process.

Working with the essence of Reiki teaches us compassion, heightens our intuition, and supports our personal growth toward conscious awareness. It helps realignment with our true path, our source and our spirit.

Introduction to Reiki

In this free two-hour session you will learn how to define Reiki, its philosophy, the history and lineage, how it works, how it can benefit us and how it is taught. We will discuss how we become out of balance in our body, how Reiki can support an harmonious rebalancing, and how it can to bring harmony into your life and the life of others around you. This session includes a Reiki activity.

Reiki First Degree — Shoden

Shoden works at the physical level teaching us how to practice self-healing and the basics of healing others. Prerequisite — Intro to Reiki.

This two day experiential workshop includes:

* The Five Precepts

* Shoden Attunements

* Shoden Practices and Meditations

* Hands on healing for self and others

Reiki Second Degree — Okuden

Students often ask how much time should there be between each level. One is usually intuitively guided to the next stage, often when a level of confidence and balance is felt. The Reiki I attunement is the opening step... it opens energy channels and initiates change in the student's life. From here the student follows through with practice to support his/her healing and growth.

Okuden takes the student into a deeper level of connection and practice. At this level many of the skills introduced in Shoden are develped further, plus new skills are introduced. Contents of this two-day workshop include:

* First three symbols

* First three mantras

* Okuden attunements

* Distance healing

* Review of Shoden practices

* Okuden practices and meditations

Reiki Third Degree — Shinpiden

Shinpiden means "mystery teachings" and is the third level in Reiki. Shinpiden further deepens the practice, focuses on personal development, and gives the final teachings in the system of Reiki.

Contents of workshop include:

* Symbol #4

* Mantra #4

* How to give a Reiju — spiritual blessing

* Shinpiden practices

Reiki Master/Teacher Apprenticeship Training

This is for students who feel called to deepen their practice. Prerequisites are a purity of heart and purity of motive. This program offers one-on-one mentorship and ongoing support while taking the student through each of the levels. Apprenticeship training usually lasts 4–6 months.

Cost: $1000 per student

I have been focussing mostly on the Reiki portion of my business. Here is an updated profile of where I am presently at.

Judy Shanley, Reiki Master/Teacher

Judy began her studies and practice in Reiki in 1997, and has been teaching Reiki since 2003. Originally from Austalia Judy has a deep love for nature and the outdoors, and the sense of peace and connectedness one finds there. Through Reiki Judy has discovered the same sense of peace and belonging she long ago found in nature and often combines the two in her teachings.

Judy works and teaches at an intuitive level, and from a place of integrity. Her gentle teachings are guided by spirit and inspire a sense of empowerment, strengthening of one's vitality, and discovery of one's potential.

Judy believes in the transformative process of immersing her students in the essence of Reiki. Her workshops are delivered experientially.

Judy's Reiki studies include Usui Reiki from the late Christopher Humble; Karuna Reiki from Michele Denay; Usui Reiki Ryoho from Frans Stiene. Other studies include Taoism, Shamanism, Chi Kung, Buddhism from Carlos de Leon; yoga; and Recreation Programming.
