Reiki Lineage / Training

Training

While living in the mountains of western North Carolina, Mark received his First Degree training in October 1999 and his Second Degree training in May 2000.  In August 2000, while attending the Northwest Reiki Gathering at Breitenbush Hot Springs in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, he made the decision to become a Reiki Master in the western Reiki tradition that he was originally initiated into.  In this system, Third Degree and Master training are combined into one process.

Since making the decision to become a Reiki Master, he has participated in the following:

• Aikido workshop on Pender Island, BC with Reiki Master Paul Mitchell (February 2001)

• Reiki and Public Practice workshops in Cataldo, Idaho sponsored by OGM (July 2001 & July 2002)

• Gendai Reiki Ho Shihan training in Vancouver, BC with Reiki Shihan Richard Rivard (February 2006)

• Workshop in Vancouver, BC on meditation techniques that Usui gave to his students.  Taught by Andy Bowling in May 2008.

• Additional seminars, retreats and workshops in Russia, United States and Canada. 

On January 18, 2004, he was attuned as a Reiki Master in Usui Ryoho Reiki by Patricia Pendergast.  Later, he was attuned as a Reiki Shihan in Gendai Reiki Ho by Richard Rivard on February 24, 2006.  The first attunement connects him to the system of western Reiki through Sensei Usui's student, Chujiro Hayashi, and Hayashi's student, Hawayo Takata.  The second attunement connects him to the system of traditional Reiki as it continues to be practiced in Japan through the Usui Reiki Ryoho (URR) Gakkai.  This lineage is traced back to Usui through his student, Kan'ichi Taketomi.  This system of Gendai Reiki Ho was brought to the western world by Hiroshi Doi and is designed to blend western and traditional Reiki.  Sensei Doi is currently a member of the URR Gakkai in Japan.

Students are energetically connected to both the traditional and the western systems of Reiki.  Certificates of Training
