VTCT Level 3 Diploma for Reiki Practitioners - 2 Day Course

The origin of Reiki lies in the work of Dr Mikao Usui and the treatment based upon Buddhist teachings. Reiki is taught by a Reiki Master but critical aspects of the qualification are to provide a regularised format to credit training for a practitioner of Reiki therapy. The treatment consists of having the client in a comfortable position, whether lying down or sitting in a comfortable chair and then placing the hands over relevant body areas.

This Diploma delivers Reiki Level II teachings including practical skills, interpersonal skills and underpinning knowledge of symbols required to provide treatments for clients. Reiki can be usefully combined with all other complementary therapies to enhance treatments. The skills developed are beneficial for any career and are often considered a life-changing experience on a personal and professional level.

  • The Seven Major Chakras and their relationship to Reiki
  • Assess the client and provide Reiki treatments
  • Attunements to Levels II

  • Scanning the aura
