About Amy Rowland
Reiki enables us to become channels for healing in our lives and in our world. Reiki is a form of hands-on bodywork, subtle energy medicine, and spiritual pathwork. Reiki relaxes, relieves tension, calms the busy mind and the anxious heart, and reduces and often completely relieves pain and other symptoms of disease. Reiki is a practical healing skill for anyone to learn, young or old, employed or retired. Because of its ability to reduce pain and accelerate healing, more and more healthcare professionals are learning Reiki and offering it to their patients and clients, but Reiki is truly for everyone. Reiki is easy to learn, and learning Reiki always enhances the quality of life.

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 is given in a weekend class that meets in late summer or early fall. (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.

Usui Reiki Ryoho Workshop provides an opportunity to learn and practice the traditional Japanese Reiki techniques recently shared with Western Reiki Masters by Hiroshi Doi, current member of Usui Reiki Gakkai, the learning society for practitioners founded in Japan by Mikao Usui in 1926. (For more on the history of this exchange, please visit Traditional Reiki History.) Some of these techniques are similar to those taught in traditional Usui Reiki classes in the West, but many are completely new to us -- and vibrant with the original Reiki energy passed down by Mikao Usui.
This class is taught in two parts: Shoden and Okuden techniques, which are taught in Japan to practitioners who are beginners and advanced students, are presented first, in a one-day intensive Shoden-Okuden Techniques Workshop. This class is intended for Reiki Masters who wish to deepen their knowledge of Reiki's early history and the techniques that have been practiced within the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. All students will receive a detailed manual and certificate of completion.
The Shinpiden techniques, which are taught in Japan to master level students, are also presented in a one-day intensive workshop on Sunday. This class is open only to those Reiki Masters who have trained in Shoden and Okuden techniques. A detailed manual, describing a variety of Japanese attunements, old and new, and a certificate of completion, is given to students who attend this class; certification qualifies you to teach the traditional Japanese Reiki techniques yourself.
In 2010, the Shoden and Okuden Workshop and the Shinpiden Workshop will be taught on Saturday, January 23, and Sunday, January 24, at the Dreamcatcher in Skippack, PA. Other class dates will be scheduled in response to student interest.

Gendai Reiki Workshop presents Hiroshi Doi-Sensei's "Modern Reiki," a synthesis of traditional Japanese and Western techniques that he developed and first described in Iyashino Gendai Reiki-ho, which translates as Modern Reiki Method for Healing.

The prerequisite for this class is certification as a Reiki Master and completion of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Workshops (offered Oct. 17-18) on traditional Japanese Reiki techniques.
