A note from your teacher
Sthitipragyan Mohanty
Hi, I'm so glad you're here — the fact that you found this course tells me you're already tuned in to something. I came to Reiki after years of searching for a stress-relief practice that actually worked for my body and my schedule. What I found was so much more: a simple, portable, deeply personal system that I now use every single day and have shared with hundreds of students around the world. I trained in the traditional Usui lineage and have been teaching Reiki Level 1, 2, and Master courses for over a decade. My approach is warm, grounded, and completely jargon-free — I care more about you feeling the energy in your hands than memorising Sanskrit terms. I can't wait to guide you through your first attunement and watch your practice come alive.
