Shoden Reiki Level One Class

Shoden: The Foundation of Your Energy Practice

Reiki is more than a relaxation technique; it is a system of self-discovery rooted in Japanese tradition. In this Shoden (Level One) class, I teach a unique blend of modern New Age philosophy and understanding alongside traditional Japanese techniques. Whether you are seeking clinical wellness support or a deeper spiritual connection, this class provides the practical tools to scan, clear, and balance your own energetic infrastructure using both time-honored roots and contemporary energetic insights.

A Grounded Approach to Subtle Energy Frequencies:

  • Lineage-Based Teaching: Study the system of Reiki from a traditional Japanese and Buddhist perspective.

  • Clinical Precision: Learn to identify energetic blockages with the same clarity I use in my professional practice.

  • 15+ Years of Mastery: Benefit from a teacher who has spent over a decade blending psychic intuition with a Master of Education background.

Shoden Reiki Class:

Shoden: Japanese word meaning beginning teachings.

What You Will Learn:

  • The Science of Lineage: Discover the 100-year history and original Japanese philosophy of the system of Reiki.

  • Intuitive & Clinical Practice: Master hand positions for self-treatment and treating others, blending tradition with your own intuitive hits.

  • The Five Elements: A deep dive into the energetic pillars that form the foundation of Japanese Reiki.

  • The Reiju Experience: Receive traditional Japanese attunements to calibrate and clear your energetic channels.

  • Practical Meditation: Learn specific Japanese techniques to ground your energy and maintain mental clarity.

  • Quantum Frequency & 5D Integration: Understand how 5D quantum frequencies interact with this time-honored system, helping you bridge the gap between ancient Japanese roots and the modern energetic shifts occurring today.

Shoden: Your Entry Into Authentic Japanese Reiki

This is the essential foundation for your journey with Reiki. Shoden, meaning “beginner teachings,” introduces you to the traditional Japanese meditations and practices that form the basis of energy work.

In this immersive experience, you will move beyond modern interpretations to connect with Reiki’s original 1920s roots. Blending a grounded Buddhist perspective with my 15+ years of spiritual and clinical awareness, I teach you how to move from curiosity to confidence. Upon completion, you will be fully prepared to practice Reiki on yourself and your loved ones.

The Student Experience

A Spiritual Catalyst

“This experience exceeded every expectation. Structured, interactive, and masterfully guided, Laura presents profound information with an effortless, joy-filled clarity. The attunement was both gentle and immensely powerful—this is far more than a class; it is a spiritual catalyst that initiates true change.”

Intimacy with Spirit

“The depth of this experience is difficult to capture in words; I emerged a different person. Laura holds a sacred space that allows you to become truly intimate with your own spirit and express that light into the world. It is a transformative journey that feels like a more sincere accomplishment than even my master’s degree.”

The Guidance Behind the Foundation

Hi, I’m Laura.

I am a lifelong educator and Reiki Master Teacher, dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional Japanese roots and modern energetic integration. With a Master of Education (M.Ed.) and over fifteen years of clinical and spiritual mastery, I don’t just “share” information—I facilitate a structured, high-vibration learning environment designed for deep integration.

My path has been defined by a commitment to lineage and authenticity. I have spent over a decade training extensively with world-renowned masters across three primary systems:

  • Western Usui with Master Teacher Joan Ruggiero.

  • Jikiden Reiki with Sensei Arjava Petter.

  • Traditional Japanese Reiki with Frans Stiene of the International House of Reiki.

By synthesizing these diverse perspectives, I offer my students a grounded, academically-backed approach to subtle energy. Whether you are a clinical professional or a dedicated home layperson, my mission is to move you from curiosity to confident, masterful practice.
