Karuna is a Sanskrit word used in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Zen. It translates to mean actions that are taken to lessen the suffering of others and can be translated as “compassionate action”. All beings are one, and the more enlightenment a person experiences the more this becomes obvious to him.
Karuna Reiki ® was developed by William Rand and other healers at The International Center for Reiki Training as he learned many healing techniques and studied under several Masters. Starting around 1989 Rand began using non-Usui attunements and symbols with success and much input from other healers. In 1993 he and the other healers came up with the Karuna Reiki ® system, which uses the symbols that were most effective, and he named the new system in 1995.
Since the energies are higher frequencies than Usui Reiki energies, Karuna Reiki ® Master training is only taught to Reiki Masters with a specific set of instructional techniques, and I can say from my own experience that this is a wise system of instruction. I teach Karuna Reiki ® to those who have been Reiki Masters for at least six months since I am happy to say that it has given me a wonderful tool to aid in healing and relaxation, and I want to share these tools with other energy workers. When I took Karuna Reiki ® training I wasn’t sure what to expect or if it would make a lot of difference in my practice and daily life, but I am happy to say that I have found it helpful to my clients and in my own life in several ways.
I offer Karuna Reiki® classes either as two separate days with Level I symbols and attunements the first day and Level II symbols and attunements, as well as the Master attunement the second day for those who can’t or don’t wish to take two days together as an intensive weekend, or as an intensive two day class for Karuna Master Reiki® certification. I award the Master certificate upon completion of Levels I and the II/Master class, so you leave the second class as a Karuna Reiki ® Master able to both give and teach Karuna Reiki®. The fee for level I/II/Master classes as described above is $500.00, which can be paid in two payments of $250.00 if the levels aren’t taken as an intensive weekend. The remainder of the first payment (after a $100.00 registration fee) is paid the day of Level I class and the second payment is paid on or before the completion of the II/Master class. Your certificate is given upon completion of the II/Master class.
If you have any questions or are interested in classes please contact me.
