It can be used as a stand alone treatment modality, or better yet, as one aspect of an integrated approach. It is extremely synergistic with all other healing methods, And it is extremely easy to learn. Few healing modalities exist in this world that are simple to learn, yet as profoundly powerfully as is Reiki. Few things are more universally soothing as is the power of human touch. The power of one person reaching out to help another. This is the power of Reiki. </p> <p align="left">Originally taught to monks as a instrument of spiritual enlightenment it has evolved into a means of healing that is used worldwide by both the lay people and by the licensed professional. In private homes, nursing homes, clinics and even in hospitals. </p> <p align="left">The results are as amazing as the process. Often times they are simple and direct, and other times profoundly significant --But always just what is needed for that person at that time. </p> <p align="left">Whether you would use it solely as a means of personal growth, or you would use it to help others, you owe it to yourself to consider this path. Because everyone who has undergone this process will tell you that they have had their lives permanently changed for the better.</p> <p align="left"><strong>Ken Campbell RN, NP-C, Reiki Master/Teacher </strong></p> <p align="left">Ken was attuned as a Reiki Master in 1988, and has used Reiki extensively in his professional career ever since. This includes everywhere from in ambulances, hospitals, nursing homes, sporting events, and in private settings across the USA, Canada and Asia. Over his many years of practice Ken has assisted many people through difficult times by using Reiki during periods of physical illness and trauma, emotional distress, mental stress, and spiritual growth. His patients have spanned the full spectrum of human existence. He has personally applied Reiki during the joy and stresses of childbirth . . . and to comfort those undergoing the very final transition of their life . . .and many other things in between. </p> <p align="left">Ken's Master was a student of Iris Ishikuro, thus he can trace his lineage back to Dr. Usui in 5 steps. </p> <p align="left">Ken is a Nurse Practitioner who is licensed to practice both Family Health & Acute Care, and is Board Certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. He is Clinical Associate Faculty for the Nurse Practitioner Programs at both Syracuse & Binghamton Universities. </p> <p align="left">Ken has used Reiki on, & taught it to, physicians, nurses, and other health professionals, and works extensively with elite athletes. </p> <p align="left"><strong>What is required to learn Reiki 1st Degree?</strong> </p> <p align="left"> Only an open mind and a desire to learn. No prior experience in Oriental medicine or philosophy, or the Healing Arts is required or expected. </p> <p align="left"><strong>What is taught during this course?</strong> </p> <p align="left"><strong><u></u></strong> The 1st Degree is a basic beginners course. It is designed to introduce you to the what's, why's, & how's of Reiki. It will make what may be an obscure concept a tangible reality to you. It will give you the skills needed to allow you to treat yourself and family members. </p> <p align="left">Specifically you will learn - </p> <div align="left"> <ul type="disc"> <li>How to give yourself a full body treatment. <li>How to give a full body treatment to others. <li>How to do a brief mini-treatment. <li>How to use Reiki for first aid applications. <li>How to use Reiki for sports injuries. <li>How to use Reiki to improve performance. <li>How to use Reiki on plants. <li>How to use Reiki on animals. <li>How to instill Reiki into food & drink. </ul> </div> <p align="left"><strong><u></u></strong><strong>Required preparation before the course -</strong> </p> <p align="left"> None. </p> <p align="left"><strong>What to expect from this course -</strong> </p> <p align="left"> A relaxed, informal and friendly atmosphere. </p> <p align="left"> An enjoyable and gratifying time. </p> <p align="left"> A truly life changing experience. </p> <p align="left"> To be more in touch with yourself, so therefore the entire universe around you. </p> <p align="left"><strong>What to expect after the course - </strong> </p> <p align="left"><strong><u></u></strong> For some - a period of physical, emotional, mental or spiritual healing unsurpassed by anything in their past experience. </p> <p align="left"> For all - a period of spiritual growth and development. A clarity of thought and purpose. A strengthened connection to their own bodies and to the universe around them. An increased ability to handle stress, as well as an additional tool to help deal with it. </p> <p align="left"> The ability to help yourself heal and grow. </p> <p align="left"> The ability to help others - whether it be in times of crisis, or of chronic condition. </p> <p align="left"><strong>What not to expect from this course -</strong> </p> <p align="left">Any type of test, evaluation, or measurement of skill. </p> <p align="left"> The only thing that matters is that you are relaxed enough to learn what you want to learn. </p> <p align="left"><strong>Course Outline -</strong> </p> <p align="left">The morning is a general presentation on the history, traditions, and philosophy of Reiki. Myths and reality's of Reiki are discussed, and an explanation of what it is and how it works. Also included is a portion dedicated to the Ethics of Reiki Practice. This ensures that every student has a clear understanding of this area before they start using Reiki. Explanation of what will transpire during the attunement process and what to expect afterwards is given such that each student may decide for themselves if they wish to proceed. This is followed by a period of personal reflection during which time the master is available for questions and private discussions. This allows each student time and knowledge to decide for themselves if they wish to be attuned or not. Attunements are passed for those who desire, then there is a break for the individual to adjust to the experience. A group lunch will be available for all who wish to share in this. The afternoon is dedicated to a hands on learning experience allowing the student to work on actual people under the supervision of the master. This gives the students the practical knowledge and the confidence they need to allow them to use their new art. In some locations an optional second day of supervised practice may be available to the student if they so desire. There is no expectation or obligation to attend this second day. </p> <p align="left"><strong>What about 2nd Degree?</strong> </p> <p align="left"><strong><u></u></strong><strong><u></u></strong>The 2nd Degree course is an advanced course that requires a solid foundation in the basics first, before one is able to move on. Not having this foundation puts stress upon the learning process, as well as upon the physical body by forcing it to adapt to quickly. A minimum period of 3- 6 months is usually required for your body to adjust to the 1st Degree before proceeding on to the next level. At the 2nd Degree course you will receive additional attunements that will increase your power and scope of practice. Also additional exercises and tools to further increase these abilities will be given. Full details will be given in your 1st Degree course. Although some other teachers offer a combined Level 1 & 2 course this is not the recommend approach, and is clearly spoken against by Dr. Usui in his original teachings. </p> <p align="left"><a href="Class_Schedule.php">Class Schedule</a></p> <p>Not able to take the class?
