We had a great couple of days with the Reiki Level 1 attunement I ran at the Clerkenwellbeing studios. Here are a couple of photos I took during the day.

Here's the room before the start of the first day. It was a lovely location and having bright sunshine flooding in for the whole weekend made it really pleasant, even if we occasionally needed sunglasses.!

Whilst Chakras are not part of the "pure" reiki approach, I include them in what I teach as they are part of the energy body and can be felt when working on others. So I like my students to know what it is they are feeling. Here I am getting over enthusiastic with diagrams of chakras on a whiteboard.

Like chakras, the aura and how to feel/clean/protect it is not part of the traditional Reiki approach. Again I like to include it as it helps understand things that my students can come across. It is also great fun to have a go at feeling the edges of each other's aura.

The afternoon of the first day is taken up with learning self healing, and as I demonstrate as they are doing it it is hard to take a photo. However, the afternoon of the second day is when I take the class through working on others and here they are practising.
