Okuden: Reiki Second Degree
“The training exceeded any expectations I had. Michaela and Joe created a very safe, loving space where I felt instantly at home and open to sharing my heart.”
In the first degree Reiki training (Shoden), we build the container within which the system of Reiki flourishes: Dedicated self-practice through foundational teachings, breathing and energy techniques, palm healing techniques, and spiritual blessings. Okuden Reiki II (second degree) training now guides you along a pathway into the inner teachings of the system of Reiki, taught from the Japanese foundation, toward 'Being' Reiki in and for the world around you. Okuden (Japanese for "inner teachings") expands your practice by incorporating Heaven and Heart Ki (energy), introduces the first three Reiki symbols and mantras as meditative tools to deepen your practice, and explores the paradox and techniques of distance healing through Reiki.
Prerequisite: Reiki I certification and a consistent practice of self-Reiki. NOTE: There are notable differences between practicing Reiki from the Western perspective, vs. its Japanese origins. If you received your Reiki I certification in Western Reiki, we will provide information and practices to orient you to Reiki from the perspective of its Japanese origins. Need more info? Let’s have a conversation about it! You can schedule a phone call here.
In this training you'll receive:
Moving Meditation
Deeper engagement with Reiki meditation and energy practices, and introduction to second degree practices.
Teachings on the paradox of distance healing, and training in techniques for sharing Reiki sessions across distance.

What You’ll Experience Working With Us
Our approach to teaching Reiki is deeply experiential, intuitive, embodiment-based, and rooted in the Japanese origins of this practice. The history of Reiki is steeped in mystery, as it's true meaning and purpose were cloaked at its creation, and then cloaked again during its fascinating and unlikely pathway to the West. We honor and explore this twice-cloaked history, believing that the deep potential of this healing art can only be realized when its true purpose is known and honored. Our teaching draws heavily on the deep roots of Reiki in Japanese Buddhism, Shintoism, and martial arts systems, and provide a solid grounding and certification for practicing the system of Reiki for self and others.
Reiki classes can be taken one of two ways:
Public Classes: Through one of our regularly scheduled public classes (see here for upcoming dates),
Private Classes: Or scheduled privately for one or more people. A private class is particularly valuable for an individual who wishes a customized experience, or for a small group who wish to experience the training intimately together. We’ve crafted customized Reiki class experiences for pairs of sisters, groups of friends, and colleagues in a work setting. These experiences are delightful in the unique and intimate spaces co-created with such groups. NOTE: The cost of a private class is the same as public classes when a group of 3 or more people schedule together. For individuals or pairs of people, there is a $50 custom fee added to the class price.
