Reiki  I and II Workshops

Reiki is taught in three levels: Reiki I, Reiki II and Reiki III. Reiki I focuses on self healing and spiritual growth. Reiki II prepares you to offer Reiki to others. Reiki III prepares you to teach Reiki.

Reiki can be learned and used by anyone, regardless of experience or spiritual belief. Once learned, Reiki can be used to facilitate healing for yourself and for others. Reiki complements all other healing modalities, both conventional and alternative.

Reiki I and II were formerly combined into a Reiki I/II Intensive Weekend Workshop. Margaret now teaches Reiki I and Reiki II as separate workshops. She is currently transitioning from teaching Western style Reiki to teaching Reiki more in the Japanese style. During this time of transition, students in Reiki II will receive either Reiki The Healing Touch First & Second Degree Manual by William Lee Rand or The Japanese Art of Reiki by Bronwen and Frans Stiene, whichever book they did not receive in Reiki I. Additional books are available for purchase if students do not have both of these books. In future classes, Rand's text will no longer be used as it is western rather than Japanese style Reiki.

During this transition period, Reiki Chattanooga is offering Reiki I and Reiki II. Advanced workshops will be offered again by fall.
