The Lotus School of reiki

The Lotus School of Reiki was set up by Carrie Rossiter and Kathleen Hartley in 2009. They have since then been greatly honoured and inspired by the many, many students they have attuned to Reiki and look forward to those that are drawn to train with them.

The ancient healing art of Reiki is thought to have originated in Tibet and was “rediscovered” by a Japanese monk named Doctor Usui in the nineteenth century. It is a method of energy healing which opens the healing channel (or crown chakra) of the student so that the abundant and ever present  universal lifeforce energy or chi can flow through them to generate harmony and balance both within their own lives and the lives of others. 

Reiki is the simplest and easiest holistic healing method available to us. Anyone can learn to use it, whatever their age or gender, religion or origin.  No specific prior knowledge or experience is required.  You need only a desire to learn, a willingness to let this healing energy flow through you and some spare time to attend a short course.

Many people notice a gentle yet powerful shift in their lives having learnt Reiki, as if they are suddenly in the flow of life and finally on their true path, whatever that may be. 

However, Reiki does not actually require any learning in the traditional sense because it is not knowledge-based, it is experience-based.  You will take part in a special ceremony of spiritual empowerment, called an attunement, where you become initiated into the Reiki energy by a qualified Reiki Master who has been taught how to carry out that process, so that you become a Reiki channel, able to draw Reiki into yourself whenever and wherever you wish.

There are normally three levels of training – the levels are usually described as Reiki Level 1, 2 and 3. 

Level one

Level One Reiki is a very gentle yet powerful introduction to the wonderful healing energy that is intrinsically part of the world we live in, yet is very often not accessed or fully harnessed. Reiki Level One is suitable for everyone, all you need is an open mind and heart and a desire to learn. No previous experience of energy work is necessary. 

Level one focuses on self-healing and getting in touch with your own energy and the energy of the world around you. During the course you will be “attuned” to Reiki and shown how to use the healing energy of Reiki (literally translated from Japanese, Reiki means - “spiritually guided universal life-force energy”)  to bring healing to yourself, friends and family, even pets, plants, food and projects. Amongst other things you will be introduced to the concept of chakras, dowsing and auras and how this connects with Reiki.

 Once you have done your Level One Reiki your intuition will begin to expand, old blockages will begin to clear and you will feel more in the flow of your life. You will leave the course with a transformative and gentle healing tool constantly at your fingertips. We hope that the weekend will be both inspiring and enjoyable. 

 If you are interested in becoming a professional Reiki practitioner then you will need to do one more weekend course (reiki level 2).

The next Level one - 26th/27th April 2025

Cost - £250

Level two

Level two further develops the third eye - our centre of intuition and spiritual guidance - and introduces how to use of crystals in healing and send Reiki distantly. Level two also guides the student through how to use Reiki in a professional context and set up your own practice. After level two you will be qualified as a professional Reiki Healer.

Reiki level 2 generates a four fold increase in the amount of healing energy flowing through you and available for you to use during your healing work, it also provides a professional qualification as a Reiki Healer.

This increased flow of energy can be used not only in your journey as a professional Reiki healer, but also within your own self-healing, or within your creative work (whether that is painting or gardening or cooking - reiki will flow into all areas of your life.)

Reiki 2 is a powerful and mind and soul-expanding weekend. As there is only one attunement we will have lots of time to explore several very fascinating subjects which tie in with Reiki energy. Here’s a few of the topics we will cover -

The Level 2 Reiki symbols and how to use them for healing

Cleansing and protecting techniques 

Distant healing 

Developing psychic awareness within our healing work

Spirit guides and how to connect with them

Expanding intuition

Manifesting your goals with Reiki

How to work as a professional Reiki healer

Using Crystals with Reiki

The next Level two - 14th/15th September 2024
