Reiki Circle in Brief
These Reiki Circles began in 1998 as a way to educate the community, to make Reiki treatments available to those who could not afford private treatments and as a way to give Reiki students a place to practice on others as well as to get feedback from each other.
We meet the first Tuesday of each month in the a.m. and the first Thursday of each month in the p.m.
These circles are open to everyone, but registration by phone or email the day before is required.
What Participants Need to Know
Participants need not have any prior experience with Reiki and can expect to receive a treatment from the group as well as to participate in the giving of Reiki if desired.
To facilitate the group process, we begin by joining hands and balancing our energies together. Participants who haven't been attuned/initiated into Reiki will receive a "temporary" attunement to allow them to experience what it is like to give Reiki. Instructions are given as to how to proceed.
Participants, who are attending just to receive a treatment and do not wish to give treatments, are treated first and then are free to leave.
Once we have completed this balancing, one person lays on the Reiki table(s) and everyone else gathers around and gives that person Reiki. Some lay their hands directly on the person receiving and others work off the body. Group sizes vary, so there may be anywhere from two to six on one. As each person's treatment is completed, they join in giving to the next person until all participants have received their Reiki treatment.
Afterwards, there is time for questions, comments and discussion.
