Animal Reiki Course – Jill Michell

Would you like to help, heal and share a deeper connection with the animals in your life? Have you always wanted to help animals, to bring them some peace, healing and love? Do you work or volunteer with animals, or would you like to?

Shoden Animal Reiki is for anyone who has already attended a Reiki level one course. This course teaches you meditation techniques enabling you to share the practice of Reiki with all animals, improving both their lives and your own.

We share a close bond with the animals in our lives and the relationship we build with them can be a source of great comfort to both. However, we can enhance this relationship further through the practice of Reiki, allowing us to support them fully, as they do us.

Have you ever sat in the presence of an animal and felt a deep inner calm descend? Maybe whilst stroking a dog or a cat, or standing together with a horse? This connection, the quietening of our minds and the sharing of space with an animal holds great value and allows us to be fully present with them.

When we are able to quieten our mind, our animals sense it – as anyone who has spent time with animals will know! When we can just be with them, they are able to begin relaxing deeply, allowing their body and minds to heal and trust to grow.

This connection can be reached not only with our closest animal companions but also with wild and farm animals too – and is especially effective building trust and healing trauma within rescue animals.

You can learn Animal Reiki to benefit both yourself and animals.

The course is one day, with a follow up group zoom call a week later, to discuss anything that has come for you while working on animals. During the day course you will refine Shoden the first level of Reiki, following the principal teaching of Animal Reiki as outlined by Kathleen Prasad.

·      The effects and uses of Reiki with animals
·      The 4 key elements of Animal Reiki
·      The 3 central principles of Animal Reiki
·      The Reiki Precepts and how animals can teach us how to live them
·      Healing techniques for you and your animals.
·      Meditation techniques

The course investment includes a fully comprehensive reference manual, a certificate of completion, printed lineage back to Mikao Usui (The founder of Reiki), ongoing support and invitations to Reiki shares.

Okuden, Reiki Level 2

4 Week Okuden Course – Okuden Reiki 2

Continuing on the enriching Japanese Reiki System with Okuden Course, spanning over 4 weeks with sessions held each Monday evening from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm.

Okuden Reiki 2 is suitable for those who have completed Japanese Shoden Reiki 1 and wish deepen their understanding of Reiki and further their Reiki practice.

Anyone advancing to this level should wait an appropriate length of time (usually 3 months) to ensure that a solid energetic foundation has been formed from the practices taught during the Shoden course.

This course will involve working with earth and heavenly energy to enhance your own energy and awareness. Understanding and working with these energies are the foundations to becoming fully integrated with Reiki.

This is done by learning and practising Shirushi (Japanese for symbols) and Jumon (Japanese for mantras). Working with these symbols and mantras internally by visualising and chanting will help you with your own energy levels and sensitivity to Reiki energy. They will also assist you in becoming at one with the universal life force energy and provide a deeper knowing that we are all truly connected to that life force.

Gaining knowledge and awareness of that energetic connection with the universe also means that you will benefit from a much deeper understanding of distant healing treatments.

There are many other techniques that are taught over the two days that will aid you further with your Reiki practice and your own spiritual growth.

The course itself is over four weeks (evenings) and will provide you with:-

Three Japanese Jumon and Shirushi their meanings and usage
The concept of oneness and the ability to help others distantly

Energy meditations to delve deeper into the Reiki energy

Mindfulness Course, Workshops

8 Week Mindfulness Now Course

8-Week Mindfulness Now Programme

Mindfulness Now is an evidence-based programme drawing on both MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) — two of the most well-researched approaches to mindfulness available. Over eight weeks, you will be guided through a structured set of practices that build week by week, giving you a solid grounding in mindfulness that you can carry into everyday life.

Each session includes guided meditation, opportunity for reflection, and practical ideas for home practice. Sessions are supportive and relaxed, you won’t be put on the spot, and there’s no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with.

By the end of the programme, you will have a working toolkit of mindfulness practices you can return to independently, along with a clearer understanding of how your own mind and body respond to stress.

What’s covered across the eight weeks

The programme moves through eight themes: waking up to the present moment, awareness of the body, mindful movement, working with stress and habitual reactions, staying present with difficulty, building resilience, self-care, and compassion. Each week builds on the last, so attending the full course makes a real difference to what you get from it.

Who is this for?

This course is well suited to anyone who wants to manage stress or anxiety more effectively, improve their focus and mental clarity, or simply build a consistent mindfulness practice with proper structure and support. It’s also a good fit if you’ve felt low in mood, struggled with sleep, or find yourself running on empty and want practical tools to help.

No previous experience of mindfulness or meditation is needed. The course is designed to be accessible regardless of where you’re starting from.

It isn’t suitable for anyone currently in a mental health crisis or receiving intensive psychiatric treatment — if you’re unsure whether it’s right for you at this time, please get in touch before booking and we can have a chat.

What to expect from home practice

Each week you’ll be offered some suggested practices to try between sessions — typically around 10 to 20 minutes a day. These are invitations rather than requirements, but engaging with them between sessions will deepen what you take from the course.

All dates 7pm – 9pm

5th June
12th June
19th June

3rd July
10th July
