Reiki, pronounced "Ray Key", corresponds to a specific energy vibrational range. Reiki is mostly centred on the etheric and the physical bodies. Rei means "universal"; Ki means "energy". So, like all healing energies, Reiki is a "spiritually guided energy". Because of this general meaning of healing energy, the word Reiki is also sometimes used by some as a substitute for the terms ‘healing energy’. Lineage of Reiki.

How to Choose a Reiki Course and Why Choose Ours

• Our workshops are taught in small groups (4 to 14 participants on average), with a strong emphasis on the experience of Reiki in different settings (guided meditations, energy activations, healings, readings, etc.), the practical aspects of this training, and most importantly, your own healing and personal development journey.


• The Ashati Institute offers the Complete Reiki Practitioner and Master Teacher training with extra time to practise and integrate. These courses includes the complete Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki 3 levels and training rather than simply receiving the attunements over a single weekend or a couple of workshops. Across our workshops you will progressively develop the knowledge and practical skills used in Reiki, including chakras and energy bodies, hand positions, self-healing, healing others, Reiki symbols, distance healing and professional practice. Multiple healing exchanges give you additional opportunities to practise, experience the energies and build confidence over time.

• This course is also designed for Reiki practitioners and Reiki Master Teachers wishing to broaden their existing Reiki training with additional development and practical experience.

• There are different types of Reiki courses. In addition to teaching all the same basics about chakras, energy, energy bodies, protection, grounding, healing techniques, etc., our Reiki courses also offer the opportunity to receive powerful energy activations (attunements) to healing energies - including those to Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki 3. These provide access to specific healing energies (channelling them through your energy channels / out of your hands), which are generally associated with stronger effects and deeper sensations during treatments and meditations.

• In addition to the amplified healing effectiveness (also applicable for self-healing), each energy activation will accelerate energetic and personal development, as well as the development of your higher senses / intuition and of your sensitivity to energy in general and to the energy world within you and all around us. All this can have major positive effects in many aspects of your life.

• These courses include the complete Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki 3 training (our lineage goes back to the ORIGINAL REIKI system by Mikao Usui).

• The Ashati Institute Reiki courses are designed not only to provide you with effective tools and training in Reiki, but also to reveal and develop your own gifts and unique abilities, and to help you discover or affirm your path in life.

• If you wish to train professionally as a Reiki healing practitioner and / or Master teacher, our certificates are recognised by most professional associations internationally (including Reiki specific energy associations). These associations include, but are not limited to, the IICT (International Institute for Complementary Therapists), the IARP (International Association of Reiki Professionals) and the ETA (Energy Therapists Association - for which you will get FREE membership for one year).

• You will likely feel especially supported by a group of like-minded participants who you will share this life-changing experience with.

• Learn with an Established Reiki Teaching Network. The Ashati Institute has an established international network of qualified and experienced Reiki Master Teachers and energy healing teachers. Our teachers work with a structured and regulated curriculum and receive training, mentoring and ongoing support, helping provide consistent training while preserving the personal experience and support of small-group workshops.

• Although we are a large international network of Reiki healers and Reiki Master teachers, we operate in each location as a small Reiki school. This offers you the confidence of working with a larger organisation, with the benefits of being part of smaller group workshops and having more personalised support along your journey and training, often by the same teachers for all your workshops.

There are multiple start dates (usually courses start in March, June, September and November each year) and we have ways to make up missed workshops. We have multiple dedicated and permanent locations. Please check the official schedule for the specific dates and venue for your program.

More about the benefits of our programs can be read in the "Skills" and the "Benefits" Sections below. Please do not hesitate to CONTACT US for more information.

What Does a Reiki Course Involve?

The Ashati Institute focuses on creating and delivering high-level and 'grounded' training programs, based on comprehensive knowledge, practical activities, powerful Reiki healing energies and techniques, and a profound transformational personal journey. This journey into the world of Reiki is for anyone guided to it, whether seeking new personal experiences and healing, or wanting to become a well-rounded, effective and progressive Reiki practitioner.


Reiki works with the philosophy that one must go on the journey themselves before guiding others on theirs. Therefore, while these Reiki courses provide profound healing and development on a personal level, they also include the complete Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki 3 course levels, alongside deeper healing and intuitive development that takes your Reiki training to new levels. It offers professional Reiki practitioner and Reiki Master teacher qualifications, with the techniques, tools, knowledge and practical experience required to help yourself, friends and family, or to set up a professional Reiki practice (these professional skills can also easily complement other modalities such as massage therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, meditation, teaching, etc). This Reiki course also comes with a one-year free membership with the Energy Therapies Association (ETA), if you wish to work as a Reiki practitioner.

Energy Activations
Each participant will receive a series of powerful energy activations, including the Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki 3 attunements. These meditative sessions are performed by a qualified and experienced teacher. This process works on the recipient’s energy system and, most importantly, connects them to a new healing energy specific to the module they are completing. This energy will then flow naturally through their being, and out of their hands.

Practical Learning Materials
Each Reiki level includes easy-to-follow learning materials that repeat, support and reinforce what is taught during the in-person workshops. These include manuals, short tutorial videos and guided meditation audio tracks, allowing you to revise the concepts and techniques, continue practising at home and support your Reiki and personal development journey between workshops.

An Experiential and Gentle Journey
This is not an academic or time-demanding course. There are no exams, assignments, or formal study requirements. The focus is on receiving the Reiki energies, practicing simple techniques, and experiencing personal healing and transformation in your own time. The learning is practical, experiential, and deeply personal. It’s a journey of healing, not a course to complete under pressure. And yet, despite its ease and gentle approach, this training also leads to a formal qualification as a Reiki healer. Recognised by professional Reiki associations around the world, it enables graduates to practise as certified Reiki practitioners, should they choose to. These skills are equally valuable in many other roles, whether you’re working with people, animals, or even plants. Whether used professionally or simply to support loved ones and communities, this knowledge opens a world of possibility, purpose, and connection.

What are the Benefits of a Reiki Course?

Spiritual Expansion

Complete Reiki Practitioner Development

Practical Skills for Helping Others

Energy Healing Meditation - Universal Energy

Energy Activations

Each level includes an energy activation which is a profound healing and spiritual experience. They will energetically expand your chakra system as well as activate a new level of energetic development and / or a connection to a specific healing energy that you will then be able to channel during energy healings and meditations, for yourself and others. Each energy activation is followed by a deeply transformative 21-day integration period during which it is recommended to practice daily short self-healing meditations at home (approximately 20 to 40 minutes per day), with the assistance of an optional guided meditation track. Energy activations are often rich in sensations, profoundly relaxing and inspiring. They are the key to the amazing personal development, spiritual awakening and accelerated healing that most notice straight away when embarking on this energy healing and meditation journey. Energy activations are facilitated live (at the scheduled time) by advanced Master Teachers. More Information about Energy Activations.
