Perhaps you have experienced Reiki and wondered what it would be like to practise it yourself. Or maybe you are looking for a simple self-healing practice to support you through stress, emotional challenges or difficult phases of life. Reiki Level 1 offers a starting point for exploring this practice without requiring any previous experience. At Innersaga, the focus is on learning Reiki through understanding, going to the depth of the concept, discussion on real-life examples, demonstration and hands-on practice, so you are confident about practicing what you learn from the very first day.
What Is Reiki Level 1 (Shoden in Japanese)?
Reiki Level 1 is the foundation level of Reiki training. It introduces you to the basic principles of Reiki and teaches you how to channel Reiki energy for yourself and for people close to you. The emphasis at this stage is on developing a regular self-healing practice and becoming comfortable with giving Reiki through simple full-body hand positions.
An important part of Reiki Level 1 is the attunement. An attunement is a process performed by a Reiki Master as part of the training. It is traditionally understood as opening or activating the practitioner’s ability to channel Reiki energy. This is the key element that distinguishes Reiki in-person training from simply reading about Reiki or learning hand positions from a book.
You do not need a spiritual background, meditation experience or previous knowledge of energy healing to join. Reiki Level 1 is designed to begin from the basic concept of feeling energy and to use it for healing.
What You Will Learn in Reiki Level 1
The Reiki Level 1 course at Innersaga introduces you to the foundations of the practice in a practical and accessible way.
The history and principles of Reiki: You will learn about the background of Reiki and the five Reiki precepts. More than simply memorising principles, the intention is to understand how they can relate to everyday life, thoughts, reactions and relationships.
How energy flows through the body: The course introduces the idea of energy flow and what may interfere with that flow. We touch upon the Chakras, Auras, Process of Manifestation and Generation fo Disease. This opens up an in-depth discussion about emotional and physical blockages to the flow of energy. These discussions are rare in such courses, a the key aspect of and a unique offering from the course at InnerSaga.
Self-healing hand positions: You will learn a complete sequence of hand positions that can be used for a Reiki self-treatment. This allows you to develop Reiki as a personal practice, makes you independent in your self-healing routing.
21 days self-healing practice: The hand positions that you learn in level 1are initially used to for self-healing regime of 21 days that is taught during the session. This 21 days practice in mandatory and is practice at your home, at your convenient time. Your Reiki teacher is available to take your doubts, queries during that period and to guide you through the practice in case you feel stuck.
Giving Reiki to others: After level 1 you can give reiki to plants, animals and briefly help others for basic day-today comfort. For asn elaborate understanding for how to heal others, you move to Level 2.
Your own Reiki session: You will learn how to structure and give yourself a Reiki self-treatment, making it possible to continue practising at home after the course.
What you may experience: Reiki sessions can feel different for different people. Some may notice warmth, tingling or relaxation, while others may experience tiredness or emotional release. The course helps you understand what you might notice during and after a session without expecting everyone to have the same experience.
The Reiki attunement: You will be guided through the attunement process and given an opportunity to experience it for yourself.

Who Should Take Reiki Level 1?
You should consider Reiki Level 1 if you are curious about energy healing and would like to experience the practice first hand rather than simply reading about it or learning online.
It can be suitable if you are looking for a personal self-healing practice that you can continue at anytime, anywhere. You may also be interested if you are going through a stressful or emotionally demanding phase and want to explore a wellness practice alongside the other forms of support you already use.
Reiki Level 1 may also appeal to yoga practitioners, meditation practitioners and people interested in wellbeing who want to explore another approach to self-awareness and relaxation.
Perhaps who have already received a Reiki session and found the experience meaningful. Learning Reiki can give you the opportunity to practise it yourself and understand the process from the practitioner’s side.
You may also want to learn Reiki because you would like to offer it to family members or close friends.
Reiki is not related to any religion or to a particular spiritual belief. It is a simple practice to let you get in touch with what you already have.
What Happens After Level 1?
After completing Reiki Level 1, you can continue practising self-Reiki regularly and offer Reiki to family members and close friends.
The real learning sometimes begins after the course as you start experiencing how reiki is working for you and you have your first-hand information. Regular practice can help you become more familiar with the sensations and experience of Reiki and may gradually increase your awareness and sensitivity.
Level 2 is the next stage for those who want to deepen their practice. It introduces Reiki symbols and distance healing techniques and provides a different way of working with the practice.
There is no need to rush into Level 2. Some people prefer to practise Level 1 for several months, while others feel ready after a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions — Reiki Level 1
Do I need any prior experience or spiritual background to join Reiki Level 1?
No. Reiki Level 1 is designed for complete beginners. You do not need meditation experience, a particular spiritual belief or prior knowledge of energy healing. The course begins with the basics and guides you through the practice step by step.
What exactly happens during the Reiki attunement?
An attunement is a process performed by the Reiki Master during the course. It is traditionally understood as opening or activating your ability to channel Reiki energy. People can experience the attunement differently; some may notice warmth, tingling, colours or deep relaxation, while others may simply feel calm. There is no single experience that you are expected to have.
Is one day course enough to understand level 1?
Yes. Over 6 hours of in-depth discussion you understand the concepts of energy, chakras, blockages and the way to practice. After this day, your practice deepens each day with regular self-healing regime. Like any practice or learning, your confidence develops through regular use.
What is included in the ₹5,000 course fee?
The ₹5,000 fee includes the one-day in-person Reiki Level 1 training with Lunch, the Reiki attunement, guided practice and the Reiki Level 1 certificate, post course support. You may bring a notebook if you would like to make your own notes during the course, however it is not required.
When does the next Reiki Level 1 batch start?
Since InnerSaga focuses on personalised and intense experience, we make small batch for the course. A batch is scheduled once a minimum of three participants have registered. You can WhatsApp 9923844281 to join the current waitlist or ask about the next batch. Once three participants are confirmed, the date can be scheduled.
Can I take Level 1 and Level 2 on the same day or in the same week?
Level 1 and Level 2 are separate one-day courses and are not combined into one day. 21 days practice is mandatory after level 1 which makes you eligible for level 2 course. We do not encourage the practice of combining level 1 with level 2 as expediting learning doesn’t ensure imbibing knowledge and confidence. Many people choose to practise Level 1 for some time before progressing to Level 2, although there is no mandatory waiting period specified in the course brief.
Is the certificate recognised?
The certificate confirms completion of Reiki Level 1 training at Innersaga under a certified Reiki Master. Reiki is not a regulated profession in India, so there is no single national governing body for Reiki. The certificate serves as confirmation of your training within the Reiki community.
Begin Your Reiki Journey
Reiki Level 1 is more than learning a sequence of hand positions. It is an opportunity to begin a personal practice of awareness, self-care and exploration.
