“Reiki, as a phenomenon in the world, can cause no harm. But the ways in which we engage Reiki—as a system of practice and a human endeavor—DOES have the potential to cause unintended harm. Luckily, there are things we can do about that.”

— Michaela Daystar, Senior Reiki Teacher, HeartScapes

Cultivating a trauma-informed Reiki practice is essential for ensuring the greatest level of safety and comfort for our clients and students. It is also a leverage point where we, as Reiki practitioners and teachers, have tremendous opportunity to contribute to a culture of healing the impacts of trauma.

To help you better understand how your current Reiki practice aligns with a trauma-informed perspective, take the Trauma-Informed Reiki Self-Assessment found here.

About the course:

This course is for Reiki practitioners who are committed to minimizing the potential for harm to occur in your Reiki sessions and classes. It guides you in creating a space that increases client safety, choice and consent, and minimizes the potential for harm by integrating trauma-informed perspectives and practices into your Reiki sessions and classes. 

In this course you will:

• Receive an accessible introduction to the biology of trauma and why embodiment practices like Reiki benefit those carrying trauma, in order to demystify the range of experiences our clients may come to us with;

• Learn a series of practices and protocols that can be immediately and easily incorporated into your practice and/or teaching, so that you can build a container of safety, choice, and consent for all, while minimizing overwhelm for you;

• Explore and practice the mindsets that form a trauma-informed practice, without feeling pressure that you have to directly treat trauma, so that you can unlock deeper experiences of healing and empowerment for all of your clients, whether or not they come to you with trauma;

• Explore the connections between oppressive systems in society and trauma, and strategies for interrupting those systems through the way you structure your Reiki practice;

• Receive a 77-page workbook containing all of the teaching materials, practices, activities, and tools for integrating a trauma-informed lens into your Reiki practice in ways that feel authentic to you and your style. Workbook will be emailed to you before class, with the option of purchasing a physical copy.

PLEASE NOTE: This course does not teach you how to directly treat trauma with Reiki. Rather, you will learn how to incorporate mindsets, practices and protocols that increase opportunities for clients and students to feel safe, empowered and in control of their healing, regardless of whether they come to you with trauma. By normalizing these experiences within our practices, we increase our community’s capacity to transcend trauma and embrace a culture of healing.
