Please see these [videos](https://www.fleshandspirit.org/become-a-healer-in-service) on our website in preparation for the workshop. Come learn the practice of energy healing to be of service in your community in our Reiki Level I, II and III and Body Story Work class. In this class you will learn to channel healing life force energy called Reiki by laying on hands and sending distance healing energy.. The training includes learning hand layouts and the story of this ancient practice rediscovered by Dr. Usui. Included is an attunement that opens your innate healing channels. This wisdom comes with a set of symbols and sounds/mantras advanced and brought to the West by Haywao Takata and Dr. Hayashi. Reiki Level I teaches you how to bring healing energy through physical touch. You will also learn some basic elements of a healing framework called Body Story Work to help you deepen your healing practice for yourself and those you will serve. This is a call not just to learn this ancient healing practice but to also embody it as regularly as possible in service through our monthly Reiki Clinic in San Francisco. Building a community of healers in service especially in these times is our ongoing goal to which we welcome you into. [Here are the videos ](https://www.fleshandspirit.org/become-a-healer-in-service)to help you prep Please note, [there is a fee ](https://www.fleshandspirit.org/become-a-healer-in-service)for this event.
