Reiki Classes 2026
For everyone who is interested in learning traditional Reiki in this lineage, Reiki I and II classes are described here, as well as the Reiki Principles Workshop and the Reiki & Intuition Workshop. The opportunity to practice traditional Reiki with others of like mind and heart is also important, so participation in Reikishares is also encouraged.

Reiki I, the basic course in hands-on healing, provides a wonderful opportunity to feel pure healing energy flowing through you, perhaps for the first time, during the attunements and during Reiki practice. Classes are small, so you receive lots of personal attention and have a chance to ask all your questions and receive thorough, thoughtful answers from a teacher with many years experience. You also practice giving a full Reiki treatment -- and receive one as well! During a Reiki I course, you will:
- Receive four "attunements" to increase the flow of healing energy through your hands
- Learn the history of Reiki
- Learn how Reiki works as complementary medicine
- Learn and practice the hand positions for self and client treatment
- Learn how to establish a professional client practice
- Receive a manual and certificate of completion in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Level I
Reiki I Classes teach you how to bring greater healing into your life, as well as how to offer healing to others.
Reiki II, the advanced course teaches the practitioner how to send Reiki healing to someone absent or at a distance; it also teaches the practitioner how to receive and relay intuitive impressions that arise while providing Reiki during a hands-on or distant healing session. This class requires a commitment of twelve to fourteen hours and is taught over two days. During this class, you will:
- Receive two additional attunements to boost the flow of Reiki energy through your hands
- Learn three distant healing symbols
- Learn two distant healing methods
- Practice sending healing to a person with an unknown medical condition
- Practice sending healing to the earth
- Learn how to use distant healing to receive guidance
- Learn how to use distant healing to help you achieve your goals
- Receive a manual and certificate of completion in Usui Shiki Ryoho Level II
The Reiki Principles Workshop is a one-day class designed to support practitioners of all levels and lineages in becoming more conscious of the value of the Reiki Principles and more adept in applying them in real life situations. This class offers practical techniques for becoming more adept at releasing anger and worry, opening to gratitude, and expressing integrity and kindness. Some of the exercises from the class are described in Reiki for the Heart and Soul: The Reiki Principles as Spiritual Pathwork, published by Inner Traditions in December 2008. During this class, you will:
- Receive an additional attunement
- Consider the place of the Reiki Principles in practice
- Discuss the translations of the Reiki Principles
- Learn how to live the Reiki Principles with greater mindfulness
Reiki & Intuition Workshop is a two-day class designed to support practitioners of all levels and lineages in learning how to work with Reiki and intuition together in harmony. This class is a wonderful opportunity to practice the process of receiving intuitive impressions as you do hands on Reiki and distant healing, to become confident of your skill as an intuitive, and to bring your skill as an intuitive into all other aspects of your life. During this class, you will:
- Receive additional attunements
- Learn basic and advanced intuitive skills
- Learn how to use your intuition to benefit your Reiki clients
- Learn how to use Reiki with intuition to clarify your own guidance
- Learn traditional Western and Japanese Reiki techniques that rely on intuition, as well as new techniques
- Practice with supervision and increase your comfort level and confidence
- Receive a manual on intuitive techniques learned in the class
Reiki III, the master course, provides an additional attunement and several months of additional instruction and supervised teacher training. The course begins with the experience of the Reiki Master attunement and training in the use of the Master symbol for meditation and use in hands on and distant Reiki healing. (This class is the equivalent of what other Reiki Masters call "Reiki Master Practitioner" training.) Three additional full weekend classes follow, spaced roughly two months apart, which teach the student how to teach Reiki at the basic, advanced, and master levels. The Reiki Master course emphasizes a thorough and comprehensive grounding in all aspects of Reiki practice and history; support for the Reiki Master student as he or she experiences the transformation and integrates the energy of the Master attunement; and practice of attunements and other Reiki class activities. Manuals are provided throughout the course; certificate is provided on completion. Observation of Reiki I and Reiki II classes is required. Experienced Reiki II practitioners who feel a calling to deepen their Reiki practice and to teach Reiki are encouraged to contact Amy Rowland for more details by writing Amy at info@traditionalreiki.com for more details.
All Reiki classes result in professional certification which may be applicable toward continuing education requirements in nursing and other healthcare occupations.
About the Reiki Master: Amy Rowland, M.A., ABMP, has taught Reiki to thousands of students since her certification to teach in 1994. Trained in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki level I and II in 1987 by Reverend Beth Gray, a master student of Hawayo Takata's, and in level III by Frank DuGan in 1994, Rowland has also taught traditional Japanese Reiki techniques and Gendai Reiki. After three decades of teaching Reiki, Rowland is focused more on writing about Reiki than on teaching Reiki classes.
