International Reiki Learning Center

 

The International Reiki Learning Center, based in New York City (NYC), New York, and Paris, France, offers healing Reiki treatments and training throughout the world. Reiki literally means "universal life energy." This powerful healing modality helps to rejuvenate and balance body, mind, and spirit. The International Reiki Learning Center is dedicated to empowering people throughout the world to tap into and channel the powerful life force energy of Reiki to heal themselves and the planet.

Welcome to The International Reiki Learning Center!

I am Thomas Claire, a Reiki Master Teacher trained in the Traditional Usui System of Reiki Healing (Usui Shiki Ryoho). Through The International Reiki Learning Center, I am pleased to offer training in all levels of Reiki, from beginner to Master. I offer training in Reiki throughout the United States, arranged through the Center's headquarters in New York City. I also offer training throughout the rest of the world, including all areas of Europe, from a centrally located base in Paris, France. My teaching is based on the traditional method of Reiki healing as revealed by Mikao Usui and preserved and passed on to us by Hawayo Takata. The Usui system of Reiki is considered to be the authentic and original form of Reiki healing.


In case you are new to Reiki, you might like to know a little about this subtle yet powerful approach to health and well-being. Many people have heard about Reiki and are curious about it, but are confused as to what it really is. Here is a brief description of Reiki.

Reiki: Channeling Universal Life Energy
Reiki literally means "universal life energy." It is an energetic healing technique based on ancient Tibetan healing practices that have been passed on to us through Japanese masters. Reiki practitioners tap into universal life energy for the purposes of healing themselves and others. Reiki aligns universal with personal energy for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. If you are interested in fostering personal transformation, you will most likely find Reiki especially powerful. Reiki involves a series of attunements, or initiations, to activate its healing power.

Reiki is traditionally taught in three levels, each involving a series of teachings. I teach each level of Reiki in a one or half-day workshop, with ample time for discussion and supervised practice. Certification in instruction is provided at all levels of Reiki training, with certificates and manuals provided upon completion of each level of training.

Reiki I: Hands on Healing
During Reiki I Training, participants receive a series of four attunements. These attunements activate Reiki energy and enable the individual to provide a hands-on Reiki treatment. Reiki treatments involve gentle hands-on touch, administered with the receiver fully clad. As part of Reiki I training, participants receive closely supervised training and practice in the hand positions that are used in a treatment, as well as detailed information regarding the background and theory of Reiki. At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to give a full Reiki I treatment to themselves and others. Open to all.

Reiki II: Distant Healing
During Reiki II Training, participants receive additional attunements, which amplify the energetic power of their treatments, and also learn a set of visual symbols. These symbols can be used during hands-on treatment, as well as to send healing energy at a distance. Participants are taught how to use these powerful symbols to transmit healing energy over long distances, with the use of photographs. For this reason, participants are encouraged to bring one or more (preferably polaroid) photos of friends or relatives to practice "absent" healing. Open to all those who have completed Reiki I training.

Reiki III: Reiki Master Training
During Reiki III Training, participants receive an additional attunement and learn a final, master symbol. The attunement and understanding of the symbol allows them to take their Reiki practice to the deepest level possible. In addition, it empowers them to become Reiki Masters themselves, capable of teaching others in all three levels of Reiki training. Complete instruction is provided in how to conduct attunements and train others in Reiki. Open to those who have completed Reiki I and II training.
