Last year I had the privilege of facilitating free Reiki healings every month for the Reiki Circle. This year of 2023, me and the Light Council Team have expanded this into a membership program to provide deeper transformative healings over the course of each month.
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key), is an alternative medicine therapy which is used as a therapeutic method of reducing stress, promoting healing and facilitates deep relaxation. “Reiki” is a Japanese ideogram “Rei” which means spiritual wisdom and “Ki” which means life force. Put together, Reiki means the life force directed by spiritual wisdom.
Life force energy ( known as “Ki”, “Chi”, “Holy Spirit”, “Prana”, or “Qi”) is the fundamental energy of all of life. It carries high frequency information to all living things. Ki can be flowing freely where it offers intelligence, vitality and maintains your physical body, energetic and mental body functioning optimally. Sometimes, the energy can get stuck or blocked as a function of many different causes such as natural or traumatic life events, ancestral DNA, environmental pollutants or even negative mental or eating habits. The blockages of Ki can result in more trauma, illness, pain, lack of sleep and an overall disruption in the enjoyment of life.
Traditional Usui Ryoho Reiki was developed by Dr. Usui in the 1930’s and now there are over 30 offshoots of Reiki.
Over 800 hospitals across the United States and many more around the world offer Reiki as a way to enhance medical treatments and has been shown to improve recovery rates. Reiki can be used on yourself and for clients.
Why Reiki?

Benefits of Reiki
Reiki is a safe whole body, whole system treatment for promoting overall wellness. People report that they feel relaxed, peaceful, cared for, loved and energized both inside and out.
It has been found to reduce pain points, accelerate recovery from diseases and injuries, soothes and calms anxiety, releases toxins from the body, assists in overcoming addictions and healthy grieving, and brings balance between mind & body. Many have reported that they experienced profound spiritual, mental and physical shifts as a result of receiving healings and even more when they have been trained as Reiki Practitioners.

Scientific Studies
“Dr. Rachel Lampert, M.D., a professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine, and her colleagues studied 37 patients after having a heart attack.
In the Yale study, patients who received reiki had a higher HRV and improved emotional state.
Harvard Hospital in Connecticut, conducted a research study and found that Reiki improved patient sleep by 86%, reduced pain by 78%, reduced nausea by 80%, and reduced anxiety during pregnancy by 94%.
A 2012 study in the Indian Journal of Positive Psychology looked at 40 women who suffered from depression and anxiety. Half of the group received a reiki treatment twice a week for 10 weeks and the other half received no treatment. The women who received reiki saw significant improvements in both their depression symptoms and sleep quality.”

What happens in a Reiki Session
A traditional Reiki session can be 30-60 minutes in length. It can be equally as effective if it is in person or over large distances. Reiki can be used with touching however some states may require the hands off approach for in person treatments (it works just as well either way). The patient may be lying down or may be seated.
The trained practitioner engages in opening the session by methods of protection, creating sacred space and preparing the client to be in the receptive state.
The practitioner has then been trained in using intuitive measures to know where to direct the energy (moving from different energetic centers of the body) and to also trained to be completely out of the way of this intelligent energy so that the Ki is allowed to access the client in the way that is for the highest good in order to provide for the most optimal healing possible at the time of the session.

If you are ready to enhance your healing abilities, gain more intuition and begin actively working as a light worker in your life and in the life of your communities, Reiki certification is a gateway to unlocking your healing capabilities.

Becoming a Practitioner in the Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Method
Traditional Reiki is trained in 3 levels: Reiki I, Reiki II and Reiki III (Master)
Each course is available as a self-paced, online course with downloads and live Q&A, activation and attunements. The information you gain from these courses are extremely comprehensive and many of our students have said they are above and beyond what they expected. The biggest validation for us is when we have Reiki practitioners who have already studied at other schools tell us that they learned WAAAYY more with us!
Reiki level I is the initiation into working with Universal Life Force energy and is opened to everyone. This certification does not have to be followed by Reiki II or III and is not used to treat clients, but rather for your own self healing.
What Happens During this Reiki Level 1 Certification Process . . .
This Reiki level 1 attunement focuses on opening the energy channels of the practitioner, allowing the practitioner to connect deeply with the Universal Life Force Energy. This is done by techniques and energetic activation which activate, open and balance and is moved down the crown chakra into the entire body system.
Reiki I students also are introduced into the fundamental principles of living as a light worker (someone who has committed to bringing positive, high frequency to the planet).
Learning and committing to the 5 principles of Reiki
Learn Health recommendations specifically for light workers to ensure optimum energy function
Introduction and understanding of your various energy channels
Gain hands on experience of the world of subtle energies and learn techniques to increasing your subtle energy awareness, intuition, and the extra-sensory capabilities
Learn hand positions for Self-Healing
Learn meditations and breathing techniques to utilize more of your healing power
You will learn ways to create a sacred and protective space
You will learn clearing techniques for you, your space and your clients
We encourage Reiki I students to use this initial initiation primarily as a way of self-healing. This clears the obstacles from the student practitioner so that when they can function as a clear vision of you and when are ready for Reiki II, they will be a clearer vessel for healing for others.
Students will go into a 21 day physical, mental and energetic detox and recalibration after the energy attunement. Students are encouraged to maintain a clean diet without alcohol, sugar, heavy meats, and to practice with their new energy channels daily to grow their new abilities and also increase their awareness and power.
Students tend to feel their palms tingling and will activate whenever they think about healing or sometimes are getting messages that someone near them may need healing.
Some students can experience sensations such as coolness or heat in their body, stomach grumbling, involuntary body twitches, seeing flashes of light or hearing messages. Due to the intensity of this activation, it is recommended that a Reiki Level I student take at LEAST 21 days of integration before continuing on to Reiki II.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you have completed Reiki Level I, you may move to Reiki II and have gone through the 21 day integration process, this is your next step and allows you to be a working professional Reiki Practitioner. Reiki II is where you receive the 2nd Degree Reiki Symbols while learning techniques to successfully work with clients. This training focuses on the opening of the heart chakra, the center of the chest energetic system which provides us with being able to communicate between the higher realms and the physical plain. It is the center of giving and receiving and must be opened and activated in order to provide healing for others.
What Happens During this Reiki Level 2 Certification Process . . .
Symbol learning and activation: You will be required to make the symbols themselves for your healing sessions
Chakra deepening: You will take a deeper dive into your 12 chakra systems and other healing modalities that work in conjunction with the Reiki energy, activating the Archangels and divine beings who manage each center, as well as learning your prominent Chakra and how to work with this in your work as a healer.
Working with Your Clients: You will be learning the protocols, techniques and best practices for working with clients.
Your Spiritual Reiki Team: You will call in and establish your spiritual team who will be guiding you during your work and develop a plan for a deeper and clearer working relationship with your spiritual team
Understanding Sacred Geometry and how to use light, sound and geometry for ultimate access to the powers of healing
It is suggested that students wait a period of several months before moving to the Master Level in order to work with the energies and integrate more thoroughly.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
REIKI III (Master) Certification
This is the Master and teacher level’s training where students will learn to teach and attune their own students. The power of a Master Reiki Practitioner is very noticeable as they are now attuned to all of the master symbols and are able to carry that high frequency.
What Happens During this Reiki Level 3 Certification Process . . .
Practitioners will receive the remaining symbols and training for mastership and also in the process of initiating their own students. There is an emphasis on teaching the practitioner advanced skills of the Master Practitioner so that they will be able to work at a mastery level with clients.
Meet Your Reiki Rainbow Master Instructor
Shanti Lleone
So happy to see you looking to add more light into your world and are wanting to begin the journey of being a light work in order to facilitate healing (of yourself and/or others!) My particular story of my Reiki initiations is pretty dramatic, so hold on!
I became a Reiki I and II in 2010. I was at dinner with my then fiance (two weeks before my wedding) and had been crying throughout the meal telling him that I felt like I was dying. On our walk back from dinner, I saw a woman in a parking lot who was lost and I asked her if I could help. She said “I’m looking for the Reiki Circle, do you know where it is?” and I had NO idea what she was talking about. I mean I had heard that work before and had grown up in a spiritual community where we practiced laying on of hands since I was a tiny person! I knew it was spiritual, but had no idea there were things called “Reiki Circles” so I immediately said, I don’t know but I want to go as well (much to my partner’s dismay).
When the three of us found the space (right across the street from my own apartment) they started the circle by going around the room and saying what was coming up for each of us. When they got to me I just burst out into tears and said “I don’t know what is going on but I feel like I am dying and I can’t stop crying”. I barely got my words out, the tears kept flowing.
I chose this wonderful woman to work on me and just cried through it and felt soooo much better. I went home and the ver next day I ended my engagement (two weeks away and all) and contacted the woman who worked on me and asked to be initiated into Reiki I.
My Reiki I was really beautiful and I was given a vision of what would have happened if I would have stayed with my fiance (I would have died at his hand - couldn’t be a clearer sign than that).
My Reiki II, however was a major transition in my life. I went home and was thrown into a three day experience where I was tempted by all of the things I had determined were important to me and asked to make a decision between those and serving God. It was a grueling three days and nights that I will go through in more detail, if you would like. Let’s just say, I made the choice that even if everything I had ever loved or known was taken away, I was a light worker and I was serving God and that was that.
My Master training came years later (2017) from the Eckhardt Tolle Institute in NYC and was a beautiful culmination of all the work and releasing I had done years prior.
YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL NOT BE MINE! First, I will prepare you and set you up with skills to have more ease. And if there is a need for you to make drastic changes (as was the case for me), you will be supported and know that this is your soul’s calling to shift these areas. My life has completely changed. I have completely been evolving and am soo grateful for the women in the parking lot looking for what not only saved my life but my spirit.
Looking forward to being a facilitator on your journey. Blessings.
