The first degree of Reiki training introduces individuals to the fundamentals of Reiki healing. Students learn about the history and principles of Reiki, as well as basic energy anatomy and techniques for self-healing and healing others. Emphasis is placed on developing a strong personal practice, which involves regular self-treatments to enhance physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Additionally, practitioners are equipped to offer Reiki to friends and family members.

The first degree of Reiki training provides a solid foundation for personal healing and support within one's social circle. It empowers individuals to take charge of their well-being and extend healing energy to loved ones. However, it's important to note that practicing Reiki professionally typically requires further training and certification.
