Reiki level 1
Coming March 10th & 17th, April 18th & 19th 9.30-1:00 in Exeter
Reiki is essentially channelling universal energy, chi or ‘ki’. Alison would recommend learning Reiki to anyone who wants to be able to improve their own wellbeing. She says ”Studying reiki yourself is very empowering. You can treat yourself daily and use Reiki in all sorts of applications in daily life. To help manifest goals, lighten the atmosphere in the room or to treat your friends or family if they are suffering. I particularly recommend it to people suffering from fatigue and other long term health conditions. The daily self-treatments it enables can be game changing. I particularly like to show those with long term health issues specialist ways that they can treat their own condition.”
Reiki level 1 is about connecting to the energy, developing a sensitivity to Reiki, working on yourself and others.
I’m connected to 2 lineages of Reiki, one more typical branch that uses attunements and secondly one that uses empowerments. Empowerments are more connected with the founder Usui Mikao’s own methods. Martial artist, Chris Marsh tried to get in touch as far as is possible with some of the techniques Mikao Usui used himself on his pupils. He received instruction and empowerments from Suzuki San, a Tendai Buddhist nun taught by Usui. Usui’s teachings were intended more as a self-realization path than for healing others, although Chris Marsh always argued that reiki only helps people heal themselves.
The weekend is £150 and includes an excellent manual by Taggart King which people should use for self-study before the course.
After the course there will be regular Reiki shares and opportunities to be part of a Reiki community. To allow everyone to continue to connect, practice and receive regular empowerments, as Usui would have done with his students. Fostering a mindful way of being in your life, is considered as important as the energy work for spiritual development.

Reiki Talk
The Hub, Nancy Potter House, Nelson Close, Topsham, EX3 0DX
12-1 Saturday 26th April 2025
Reiki is a simple energy system that was initiated in Japan by Mikao Usui. It is typically used to ‘unblock’, let go of emotional triggers and support wellbeing (particularly around anxiety and stress).
Reiki was originally intended as way of developing spiritually, but Usui showed some medical officers ways to support healing via a shortcut. This then spread to the West via Hawayo Takata who described the energy system as explaining how Jesus performed miracles.
Since then, people such as Chris Marsh have enabled us to connect more with Usui’s original methods. As an expert martial artist, he was able to learn from some of Usui’s original pupils .
Refreshments will be provided and after speaking, Alison will do a Reiki demonstration for anyone who would like to receive it.
“Heartfelt thanks for the Reiki session you gave me today. I know it is transforming my life in every way which is quite unique, it’s a wonderful, living gift for me and for my daughter.” - Freya
