Usui 1 Balbriggan

Reiki Usui Level 1 Course – Balbriggan

If you live in Balbriggan or North County Dublin and feel the call to reconnect with yourself, restore your energy, and bring calm back into your life, the Reiki Usui Level 1 Course (Shoden) is the perfect place to begin.

Taught by Marta, Reiki Master Teacher and founder of Reiki and Sound Healing, this weekend course in Drogheda, Co. Louth (just a short drive from Balbriggan) offers you a powerful initiation into Reiki — the Japanese art of natural energy healing.

This isn’t simply a class; it’s a weekend transformation — a deeply personal journey into balance, intuition, and inner peace. Reiki Level 1 opens the door to self-healing and empowers you to care for your wellbeing on a daily basis.

🌿 What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic method of natural healing discovered by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th century. It works through universal life energy, the invisible force that flows through all living things. When our energy is balanced, we feel healthy, peaceful, and centred. When it’s blocked — due to stress, grief, or fear — we feel drained, anxious, or unwell.

Through the Level 1 attunement, you’ll be guided to open your energy channels so that Reiki can flow through you easily and safely. Once this channel is opened, Reiki energy is with you for life — always available whenever you place your hands on yourself or others.

Many students describe their first attunement as a profound, emotional experience — a moment of connection to something greater than themselves.

🌸 What You’ll Learn During Reiki Level 1

This two-day weekend course blends theory, practice, and spiritual connection. You’ll explore the origins of Reiki, the philosophy of Mikao Usui, and the Five Reiki Principles, which form the foundation of a balanced and mindful life:

These simple yet powerful teachings help bring peace, gratitude, and mindfulness into everyday living.

You will also learn about energy anatomy — including chakras and the aura — and practice Reiki hand positions for self-treatment and healing sessions for others. Each student receives plenty of hands-on guidance to ensure confidence and safety.

🕊️ Why Reiki Level 1 Might Be for You

This course is ideal if you:

• Feel emotionally or physically drained and want to restore your balance

• Are moving through a time of change or loss

• Wish to manage anxiety, stress, or overthinking naturally

• Feel called to help others or begin a healing journey

🌕 How Reiki Can Help

After completing your Reiki Usui Level 1 Course, you’ll be able to give Reiki to yourself, friends, family, pets, and even plants. Students often notice:

• A calm and centred mind

• Reduced anxiety and emotional overwhelm

• Better sleep and increased energy

• Improved focus and creativity

• Stronger intuition and self-awareness

• The ability to soothe pain and tension naturally

Reiki helps you slow down, reconnect with your body, and cultivate a deep sense of peace. You become your own source of grounding and healing — a gift that lasts a lifetime.

🪷 The Attunement Experience

The Reiki Attunement Ceremony is the heart of this course. It’s a sacred process where your energy field is gently adjusted to align with Reiki’s universal frequency. Students often describe it as peaceful, emotional, and filled with light. It’s the moment your Reiki journey truly begins.

The attunement doesn’t require belief — Reiki works beyond the mind. It simply reconnects you to the natural flow of energy that’s always been within you.

🌺 Continuing Your Journey

After completing Level 1, many students choose to continue to Reiki Level 2 (Okuden), which allows distance healing and professional practice. Others prefer to keep Reiki as a personal tool for daily peace and self-care. Both paths are perfect.

You’ll also have access to ongoing mentorship and post-course support from Marta, ensuring you feel confident and supported as your practice grows.
