About Advanced Training

Advanced courses are cumulative, be certain to check pre-requisites when registering. Please note, some of the pre-requisites refer to one or more of the community seminars.
The Ethics of Energy Work

A two day course that places the unique nature of Reiki healing and of the Reiki practitioner's methodologies within the ancient context of energy work, intent, and the ethics of free will. Begins with a taxonomy of subtle energies that describes Reiki against the ancient traditions, delineates the various modes of energy work currently available, their modes of activation, application, and effect. The course then examines the nature of "intent" and "intentionality" and the relationship of "intent" to the effective and proper use of all energy modalities, with special emphasis on Reiki. Participants are led to explore the hidden benefits and dangers of intent in advanced energy work, are shown methods of proper formation and use of intention in personal healing and facilitation work, and the corresponding reasons for and ways in which we can deliberately and accidentally misuse energies. Course involves some advance reading, lecture, discussion, demonstration, and specific techniques for crafting and controlling intent within an ethical and safe framework. Course Prerequisites: Second Degree Reiki (or prior permission), Beginning Meditation. Required reading before coming to class: Larry Dossey, M.D., Be Careful What You Pray For; Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements, usually available through local bookstores, Amazon.Com, and at TRI.

Protections I
Understanding Energetic Interactions.

A two day intensive on the nature of energetic relationships between individuals, groups, institutions, and places that cuts across disciplines (subtle energy theory, psychology, sociology, biology, history, and theology) to explore the invisible energetic "cords" that connect us for good or ill to everything in our lives. Participants are led to explore interactively the ways in which "cords" are formed, how they help or harm us, and what we can do to take control of our energetic relationships to foster our own mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Participants are given techniques for identifying and evaluating the energetic cords controlling their lives, then shown how to exercise daily control over those energetic influences. Information given on how to distinguish forms of "energetic attack," both accidental and deliberate, on how to resist emotional/energetic parasitism, and on how to remove unwanted energetic influences in ourselves as well facilitate others in their clearing process. Course is informational and experiential. Pre-requisites: First Degree Reiki, Ethics, and Larry Dossey, M.D., Be Careful What You Pray For.

Saturday, Sunday 9:00 - 6:00.

Advanced Protections
Why, When, What, and How

A two day intensive for Reiki facilitators and those actively working to clear issues, to raise their energetic vibrations, and to establish and maintain mental and emotional balance. Course builds on everything learned in Protections I to expand participant understanding of the potential elements within our energy fields that block energetic balance and therefore physical, mental, emotional healing and spiritual growth. Course delves much deeper into the relationship between energy work, free will, and the cords that connect (and bind) to include detailed information on the mechanisms of "not-so-good energies," energetic attack, energetic parasitism, and the possible physical and emotional symptoms of such events. Involves detailed information on the "Rules of the Road" for protecting yourself and your environment, on how to recognize and deal with McNasties, and practice with different methods of protections. Format is informational and experiential. Pre-requisites: Second Degree Reiki , Meditation, Ethics, and Larry Dossey, M.D., Be Careful What You Pray For.

The techniques taught here derive from those Takata taught Beth Gray, who faithfully preserved them in her teaching until her illness in 1992, and from extensions of Takata's and Beth Gray's teaching developed by myself and others of Beth's students in the last ten years. Second Degree attunements unnecessary but repeated if the class wishes it.
