Usui Reiki Level 1
with a teacher who will actually be there
when it matters most
Self-paced training plus a personal 1:1 attunement with Shanti, so you move through certification with real-time support, not just prerecorded material.
What Reiki 1 opens
Not just a certification.
A practice that belongs to you for life.
The attunement is the beginning. What follows is a daily relationship with your own energy field, one that grows steadier and deepens the longer you stay with it.
A practitioner who works from direct contact
Not theory about energy. Actual, felt, repeatable experience of working with it. The attunement makes that accessible in a way reading never does.
A daily self-healing practice that travels with you
No equipment. No appointment. A practice you can return to anywhere, for your own nervous system, clarity, and steadiness under pressure.
The ability to offer sessions to others
Family, loved ones, and for some students, early client work. Level 1 gives you a real foundation for practice, and everything that follows builds from here.
Confidence in what you are doing and why
You will know the principles, the hand positions, the session structure, and how to hold space for others. Not just the what, but enough of the why that you can trust yourself.
Your teacher
Shanti Lleone
Shanti is the kind of teacher who stays present with you through the whole process. She is not handing you a packet and sending you off to figure it out. The live attunement is personal, held with care, and she is genuinely there for it.
She has been in practice for over 25 years and has trained 500+ practitioners across 40+ countries, across multiple lineages including Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki, shamanic, and Vedic traditions. She is also a certified trauma-informed practitioner, which means she pays attention to your nervous system, not just your energy field.
She is faculty at the Globe Institute of Sound & Consciousness and the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. Students consistently describe her as clear, steady, and fully present. Those three things are harder to find than any credential.
From students in the lineage
What practitioners say
after training with Shanti
"I had looked at other Reiki trainings before this. Most of them felt like you were just purchasing a packet and figuring it out alone. What stopped me from signing up anywhere else was that I couldn't feel a real teacher on the other side. The live attunement with Shanti changed that. She was fully present, and I could feel the difference. I could tell there was an actual person holding the process, and that mattered to me."
"Nothing about working with Shanti felt rushed or performed. She was clear and steady the whole way through, and I never felt like I had to earn her attention or prove I was ready. I felt calm with her right away, which is not normal for me. I could actually relax and receive, and I don't think that would have happened with someone else."
"Before this, Reiki was something I was curious about but couldn't quite land in my body. After the attunement, that shifted. I started using it on myself regularly and I stopped second-guessing what I was sensing. The course gave me real structure, but the live part changed everything for me. You don't get that from a recording."
The live attunement
This is the part that
most online courses skip
Self-paced material builds knowledge. The attunement opens the channel. Both matter, and one doesn't replace the other.
A live 1:1 attunement with Shanti, included in your enrollment
After you complete the self-paced material, you schedule a private video session with Shanti for your Reiki 1 attunement. It is held in real time, with full presence and intention.
Distance work is not a compromise. It is a core part of Reiki practice. Shanti has held hundreds of attunements this way. The session is personal, complete, and held with the same care as an in-person transmission.
Some people feel the attunement strongly in the moment. Others notice it unfolding over the days that follow. Both are normal, and both are complete.
What's included
Everything you need
to begin practice with confidence
Complete Practitioner Course Manual
Everything you need to understand and practice Reiki: the history, principles, hand positions, session structure, and ethics. A reference you will actually use.
Private Live Attunement with Shanti
A scheduled 1:1 video session for your Reiki 1 attunement. Live. Personal. Complete.
Opening Ceremony Transmission
A recorded ceremony to prepare your energy field before the attunement. Available to return to any time.
Post-Attunement Meditation
A guided recording to support integration in the days following your attunement session.
21-Day Integration Plan
Daily practices for the standard integration window that follows every Reiki 1 attunement.
21-Day Journal
Track what shifts during integration and build the foundation of daily practice.
Art of Holding Space
A practical guide to creating a clean, safe energetic container when offering Reiki to others.
Dowsing Techniques
Use a pendulum as an energetic assessment tool before and after sessions.
About your certification
Upon receiving your live attunement, you receive a Usui Reiki Level 1 certificate of practitioner training through Shanti Lleone's program, drawing from the Usui lineage. You can begin practicing on yourself and others from this point. The 21-day integration plan that follows is strongly recommended. It is where the practice takes root, and your certification is issued at the time of your attunement. Reiki 2 is the natural next step for those who want to deepen into distance healing and fuller client session protocols. Reiki is a complementary energy practice and not a licensed medical modality.
Who trains here
People who want to feel
supported, not just certified
Most people who come to Shanti have looked at other Reiki trainings and felt something missing. They want to actually learn, not just receive a certificate at the end of a self-guided process.
- Nurses, caregivers, and healthcare workers who want a complementary practice that travels with them
- Coaches, therapists, and wellness practitioners ready to bring energy work into what they already do
- People who want to practice Reiki on themselves first, and eventually on family or clients
- Anyone new to energy work who wants clear structure and a real teacher, not a recording and a PDF
- People who have been drawn to this for a while and are finally ready to begin with the right support

Live 1:1 session with ShantiIntegrate for 21 days
Follow the daily plan. Use the journal. This window is where the practice becomes something the body recognizes, not just the mind.
Receive your certification and integrate your practice
Your Usui Reiki Level 1 certificate is issued at the time of your attunement. The 21-day integration plan that follows is where the practice moves from concept into something the body knows. Both the certification and the integration matter. One marks the training formally. The other is where the practice takes root.
The path forward
Reiki 1 is the foundation.
Reiki 2 is where practice deepens.
Some students know from the start they want both. Others decide after Level 1 practice is established. Either way, the next step is clear.
