The Rising Light cohort is complete. Sovereign Light returns February 6, 2027, on a New Moon eclipse. Join the waitlist to hear first.
Sovereign Light
Activate the Channel. Remember the Current.
Reiki I and Reiki II, taught together as one arc. This round is complete—every attunement given, every certification issued. The current goes quiet for a season, then returns. Sovereign Light opens again February 6, 2027, and again August 2, 2027, both new moon eclipses.
Why This Isn't Done In a Weekend
You can be certified in Reiki I and Reiki II in a single weekend. Many people are. Two days, a stack of handouts, six attunements delivered back to back, and you go home on Sunday evening with a channel that opened faster than your body knew what to do with.
There is nothing wrong with those teachers. But there is something wrong with the pace.
An attunement is not information. It is a change in the way energy moves through you, and your nervous system needs time to meet it. Time to settle. Time to notice what shifted. Time to practice before the next door opens.
So we take ten weeks, not two days.
One module at a time.
Attunements on Saturdays, spaced to land.
Twenty-one days of daily self-practice.
Nothing rushed. Nothing crammed. Nothing skipped so that a certificate can be handed to you before Monday.
Sovereign Light gives you the same six attunements. It simply refuses to hand them to you all at once.
You are not behind. This is the pace.
What Students Say
Two people who've walked this path, in their own words.
I'd already been through Level 1 and 2 elsewhere—16 hours in a weekend, sent home with books and charts to fill in the blanks. I only received 2 attunements. Carissa's Reiki I alone gave me 4, plus step by step preparation, feedback, and every session recorded so I can go back anytime I need a refresher. I now have real confidence in my competency, and I know my clients feel the difference too.
Beverly McGowan, FNP Founding Light cohort
Receiving the attunements felt like coming home—a remembering of something much older than this life. Now I feel a deeper connection to my body and the energy around me. I can catch myself mid-spiral and use Reiki to come back to center. It's become less something I do in sessions and more a way of moving through the world.

What Actually Happens in an Attunement
If you've never received one, the word can sound far bigger than the experience. Here is the plain version.
About an hour, Saturdays at 1:00 PM CT
Ceremonies are held live inside the Attunement Portal using Kajabi's live video. The join link sits right in the lesson for each attunement, so you always know exactly when and where.
Plan for about an hour, sometimes a little longer when questions run on afterward.
Cameras on. This is a session, not a broadcast
We're in it together. Carissa guides you through the process as it unfolds, and there is room to talk before and after.
When the transmission itself begins, you simply sit comfortably or lie down and close your eyes. Nothing to perform, nothing to get right, nothing you can accidentally break.
People feel different things
Warmth in the hands. Tingling. A wave of emotion arriving from nowhere. Color behind closed eyes. Deep sleepiness.
And some people feel very little the first time. That is not a failure and it does not mean it didn't work. An attunement isn't measured by sensation.
You don't have to believe anything
Reiki is not a religion and asks you to convert to nothing. Hold whatever faith you hold, or none at all.
Skepticism doesn't block it. Curiosity is enough.
Once given, it doesn't expire
An attunement is a permanent shift in the way energy moves through you. You will not lose it if you stop practicing for a season, and you will never need to purchase it again.
What you receive in these weeks is yours for the rest of your life.
You are attuned whether or not you're there
This is distance Reiki. Time and space are not obstacles to it. Every student is held in the ceremony, present or not, so the attunement is offered to you either way.
If you cannot be there live, it waits at the edge of your field until you are ready to receive it. Watching the replay is simply how you meet it consciously. Nothing is lost by arriving later.
Afterward, drink water and give yourself a soft landing. Most people notice the days following an attunement more than the hour itself. That is exactly why these are spaced across weeks rather than stacked into an afternoon.

The Arc
From the New Moon eclipse to the Full Moon, and onward into April. This wasn't arranged. It's simply what the calendar did.
Your daily self-Reiki practice carries you from the final attunement to the full moon. The gap is not a wait. It is the integration.
This same arc also opens again August 2, 2027—a total solar eclipse, new moon in Leo, the same sign this arc first began under.
From Dr. Usui An unusually direct line
Reiki passes hand to hand, teacher to student, unbroken from its origin. Most modern practitioners stand fifteen, twenty, or more transmissions from the source. This lineage is short, and it is documented.

When you are attuned in Sovereign Light, you enter this line. Inside Reiki I you receive your own copy of it as its own document, naming every teacher from Dr. Usui down to me, so you know exactly whose hands the current came through.
To be precise about what that does and doesn't mean: Reiki I and II make you a practitioner. You can work on yourself and on other people. Adding your own name to this line by teaching and attuning others is a separate training and a later one. That comes at Reiki III and Reiki Master training, and it isn't what this is. But if you ever go that far, this is the line you would be handing down.
Join the Waitlist
Sovereign Light opens again February 6, 2027, and again August 2, 2027. Reiki I and II are taught together as one path. Join the list below and you'll hear before anyone else, before any public announcement.
Reiki I & II, Together
The full path, from your first attunement to Reiki II certification. No prior training required.

Each cohort is intentionally limited to twenty seats. Not to create urgency, but because a transmission of this kind asks to be held closely. Twenty is the number at which every student can still be truly seen.
All attunement ceremonies are recorded. If you cannot attend live, the transmission moves through the replay in the same way. Live participation is encouraged for the coherence of the field. It is never required in order to receive.
This is not diluted.
This is held.
