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.

Reiki III, the master course, provides an additional attunement and nine months to a year 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.
