Join Mychal for a deep dive into the mystical heart of traditional Japanese Reiki.

This class offers a direct introduction to traditional Japanese Reiki as it was originally taught in Japan. In Shoden, students learn to work with Reiki as a simple yet profound tool for daily meditation, cultivating presence, clarity, and inner stillness.

Through guided instruction and hands-on practice, you will learn how to use Reiki for stress reduction and to support challenges such as anxiety, tension, and fear, while strengthening your overall mental and emotional well-being. You will be taught foundational treatment protocols for both daily self-care and working with others, empowering you to integrate Reiki into your everyday life.

This training also develops your sensitivity and awareness, helping you attune to what is happening within your body and recognize where deeper care and balance are needed. Alongside these practical skills, you will be introduced to the Reiki precepts—timeless principles that support a healthier, more centered, and fulfilling way of living.

This class highlights Reiki as a natural complement to your yoga practice, deepening your connection to breath, body, and the subtle energy that both practices cultivate and bring into conscious awareness.

WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a traditional Japanese stress reduction and relaxation method that promotes healing. A Reiki treatment is given through physical touch. In a Reiki session, the practitioner moves through a series of hand positions across the recipient’s body. Reiki can stimulate the body’s natural relaxation response, which also aids the overall healing and wellbeing of the recipient.

While Reiki can be a powerful and supportive healing aid for others, its greatest benefits unfold when we establish a personal self-healing practice. A consistent daily practice of Reiki self-care has all the benefits of meditation. Learning Reiki can greatly assist you in cultivating restfulness, revitalisation, and healing within your life. A Reiki self-healing practice quickly becomes an anchor of peace and calm within a fluctuating world.

WHAT IS JIKIDEN REIKI?

Jikiden Reiki is Reiki as it was originally practiced in Japan. The word Jikiden means “original” or “authentic.” Jikiden Reiki is a style of Reiki practice that has not been influenced by the West. It is a simple folk healing practice based on the philosophy that our hands have the ability to invite others to return to their original state of wellbeing, relaxation, and health.

Within Jikiden Reiki, we have a clear lineage that can be traced back to the founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui. Dr. Chujiro Hayashi studied with Usui, and Chiyoko Yamaguchi studied with Hayashi. In the late 1990s, the Yamaguchi family decided to share the practice they learnt from Hayashi with the rest of the world, resulting in us having the practice of Jikiden Reiki today.

WHY JOIN THIS WORKSHOP?

Healing through touch has been a part of how we’ve taken care of ourselves and others for thousands of years. There are many techniques of energy healing that require years of meditation, visualisation, crystals, and other tools to help you access your innate healing potential. However, traditional Reiki is pure and simple. It quickly awakens our ability to perceive subtle energy and to use it as a healing tool. After this retreat, you will have all the tools you need in order to:

•⁠  ⁠Begin a daily Reiki self-healing practice.
•⁠  ⁠Deepen your sensitivity and perception of subtle energy within and around you.
•⁠  ⁠Naturally increase your intuition.
•⁠  ⁠Give Reiki treatments to others.
