The course covers the benefits and uses of Reiki, the history and origin of Reiki as well as instruction on using Reiki for ones self and others.

There is plenty of hands-on practice with both Self-treatment and giving and receiving Reiki during the class. It is highly experiential and includes four individual energy initiations.

I recently completed a First Degree Reiki certification class with Reiki Master Maureen O'Shaughnessy, and I'm genuinely amazed by the experience. I'll admit I was skeptical at first, thinking Reiki might be more "woo-woo" than practical, but my personal experience has completely changed my perspective.

Since learning the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage of Reiki from Maureen, I've witnessed real benefits in my own life. It's helped fix the ankle pain that had bothered me for over a week, improved my sleep, and friends have even noticed that I look "lighter."

One of the most touching moments was when I visited my 97-year-old mother in her care facility. She was feeling down and low-spirited until I performed Reiki on her. The change was amazing – she perked up, began smiling and laughing, and showed a lot more energy.

Maureen is an excellent teacher who makes the Reiki certification process easy to understand and powerful. I highly recommend Reiki Hawaii to anyone curious about learning this healing practice.

Transformative and Uplifting Reiki

I recently took Maureens workshop and it was nothing short of transformative. From the moment the class began, I felt welcomed and supported by the instructor, who created a warm and nurturing environment for all of us. The pace was perfect—slow enough to truly absorb the teachings, but also engaging and interactive.

The way the instructor explained the history and philosophy behind Reiki really helped me understand not just the technique, but the deeper energy work involved. The hands-on practice, where we got to give and receive Reiki, was incredibly powerful. I could feel the energy moving through my hands, and the sense of calm and balance I felt afterward was immediate and profound.

One of the highlights for me was the attunements. I didn't know what to expect, but the experience was enlightening. It felt like I was opening up to a new level of awareness, and I left the class feeling more centered and connected.

I also appreciated how the class wasn’t just about learning the technique, but about self-healing and mindfulness. The instructor provided plenty of tips on how to practice Reiki in daily life, and I’ve already started incorporating it into my morning routine. The whole experience has left me feeling more grounded, peaceful, and aligned with my inner self.

If you’re looking to begin your Reiki journey or simply learn more about energy healing, I highly recommend Maureen. It’s a beautiful introduction to Reiki, and I’m excited to continue my healing journey with the foundation I’ve gained here. I can’t wait to take her Reiki 2 class in March.
Thanks again Maureen!
