Workshop: Introduction to Reiki
This 90-minutes workshop presented by Veronique Frede, Reiki Teacher at the Japanese Culture Center of Chicago, will introduce participants to the practice of Reiki. It will provide some basic understanding of its principles and the opportunity to experience some of its elements.
Reiki is a Japanese healing system that promotes balance and personal growth. Developed in Japan in the 1920’s by its founder Usui Mikao, Reiki is now practiced around the world in many different ways. Its original name “Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho” translates as the “Usui Healing Method for Improving Body, Mind and Heart”. The system of Reiki includes 5 elements: meditation, hands-on healing, the precepts, symbols and mantras as well as a spiritual blessing called the Reiju. The practice of Reiki strengthens the connection between body and mind. It helps us return to a natural state of harmony through a process of relaxation. It improves mental clarity, stability, and vitality while creating a deep sense of compassion, peace, and harmony within us and the whole.
The presentation includes discussion and experience. Please note, this workshop is not a class, rather an introduction of the practice of Reiki that focuses on self-care.
