Learning Reiki

1. HOW DOES ONE LEARN REIKI?

Anyone can learn to practice Reiki. No special skills, prior experience, or educational degrees are required. Reiki is not “taught,” but rather is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. Through a series of initiations administered by a Reiki master, the flow of Reiki energy within the student is enhanced, which allows the student to then facilitate the flow of Reiki energy to others.

2. WHAT ARE THE LEVELS OF REIKI?

In the lineage of Mrs. Hawayo Takata, who brought Reiki to the United States from Japan, reiki training consists of three levels, designated Level 1, Level 2, and the Master/Instructor Level.  San Francisco Reiki Center strictly follows the teachings of Mrs. Takata, as it is through her direct lineage that we were trained. Reiki Master Christopher Tellez and Dave Hadley teach our Reiki courses almost word-for-word as they were passed down to us through her lineage, following the oral tradition of Japan. Christopher Tellez trains Reiki Master/Instructor Level to those who have studied at SFRC and or with his teacher Brian Brunius of NYC Reiki Center.

3. WHEN ARE CLASSES OFFERED?

San Francisco Reiki Center offers Reiki classes generally twice a month throughout the year.  Please look at our Class Schedule for a listing of upcoming classes and workshops.
