Reiki Level 1 training in Canggu
Usui Shiki Ryoho · Canggu or live online
Reiki Level 1 (Shoden) teaches you to give Reiki to yourself and the people close to you, whenever you need it. It is one full day with me, in Canggu or live online, in a group of no more than six. You learn the hand positions, the five principles and the Reiki symbols, and receive your first attunement. EUR 488.
Who it is for
- Anyone starting out. You do not need to have meditated before, and you do not need to believe anything in particular. Students often arrive sceptical and find the practice useful anyway.
- Anyone who wants a practice for themselves and the people close to them. Level 1 is a complete thing in itself, and plenty of my students never go further.
- Anyone who might want to work with clients or teach one day. Every later level builds on this one, so this is where that path starts too.

How the day runs
We start slowly. I teach the history of the lineage honestly. You learn the hand positions and then practise them, on yourself first and then on each other.
The attunement happens partway through the day, not at the end, so you have hours afterwards to notice what changed and to ask about it. It is a short ceremony: you sit in a chair with your eyes closed, and there is nothing you need to do and nothing you can do wrong.
Warmth in the hands is the most common thing people report. Some feel nothing at all, and that is normal. Some of the steadiest practitioners I have taught felt nothing on the day.
I teach Level 1 online too, and I stand behind it. Online I cannot put my hands on yours to correct a position. You keep the teaching, the practice, the questions and a teacher present with you live for the whole day. Crystals are not part of this training in either format.
What you leave with
You leave with the manual to keep, your first attunement, and the ability to sit down and give yourself a self-treatment whenever you want one: before bed when your mind will not settle, or after a day that took more out of you than it should have. Support carries on after the day, because questions tend to surface a few weeks later, once you are using it.
After Level 1
Level 2 builds on the symbols from Level 1 and adds distance work. There is no fixed gap between the two: some students come back within weeks, others after years, and plenty never do. You do not need to decide any of that on the day. Reiki Level 2 training.
