_____
Offered by the Reiki Godmothers of MINKA, this intensive certification course is designed for anyone who is interested in incorporating the healing energy of Reiki. There are no prerequisites for these classes, except for the desire to heal yourself and others around you.
You will have a unique opportunity to learn from two masters who work together to bring various aspects of Reiki to life—you will leave feeling empowered and excited about your ability.
The Twin Attuning Method was discovered during the course of the two masters working together. Aki and Manu are Spiritual Twins who shared many lifetimes together; the energy of the two masters are intertwined during the attunement to create a deep and powerful shift of the energy bodies.
Usui Reiki Levels 1 & 2
This class is for each student to gain a basic understanding of the Usui Reiki system to build a spiritual foundation and self care for level 1, and develop the practitioner as a whole person and space holder for level 2. We will begin with learning the history and basic principles of Reiki, how it is passed down, energetic hygiene, energy channel systems in our bodies, and learn the self-Reiki hand positions.
Moreover, you will learn about the three Usui Reiki symbols—the power symbol, the mental-emotional symbol, and the distance symbol—and understand how to use them for powerful and precise healing sessions. In addition, you will learn to create a safer healing space and ways you can begin a practice without perpetuating harm, as well as energy healing and the importance of understanding multi-dimensionality.
A Reiki certification is awarded after the completion of a hands-on practice session and submission of two case studies—one in-person session and one long distance.
Spiritual Alignment for Healers
Designed by Reiki Godmothers, Aki Hirata Baker and Manu Del Prete, this one-day class is for all energy healing and spirituality practitioners as a way to decolonize their practice for better efficacy and to reduce harm. An effective and meaningful energy and spiritual healing practice is less about our skills and techniques and more about our ability for space holding. Come and join the conversation on how to undo the hidden mindset and belief systems that hinders us from becoming the best possible vessel to offer safe and clear healing space.
In this class you will learn more about:
The history of spiritual belief system
How colonization affects our current belief system
Energy healing as Spiritual Practice
The practice of undoing the colonization within our psyche
Demystifying multi-dimensionality
… and more
Earth Evolution Reiki Training
Learn the origin of how the three new symbols (Dairoku, Jigen, and Kokoro) came to the Reiki Godmothers and how these symbols have changed the way we integrate intense energetic shifts. Aki and Manu will explain how the five energetic centers work with the existing seven chakras to complete the new 12 chakra system that humanity will start activating and utilize in the new era. Other topics include earth ascension, its relationship to the three symbols, the true purpose of living this time, integrity within our hearts, and more.
Our Reiki Certification Courses are co-taught by Reiki Godmothers Manu Del Prete and Aki Hirata-Baker using a twin attuning method.
Aki Hirata Baker, born and raised in Japan, immigrated to the United States at the age of 18. She is a student of the earth and the cosmos, an initiated medicine woman, and a moondancer. Attuned to various energetic healing frequencies—including Usui Reiki, Earth Evolution Reiki, IET, and 13th Octave LaHoChi—she is also a master teacher of Usui Reiki, cochanneler of Earth Evolution Reiki symbols, and the founder of MINKA Brooklyn. Aki has trained under numerous teachers of ancient traditions including Naina Marballi, Suzy Meszoly, Irma StarSpirit Turtle Woman, Sergio Magaña, Rita Navarrete Perez, Tonia Gonzalez, and more.
Manu River Del Prete is an energy healing facilitator and teacher, channeler, psychic ability coach, Galactic Akashic reader, past life regression therapist, and Feng Shui and space clearing practitioner. She has devoted over three decades to exploring the boundaries of the invisible energies. Through her teaching, coaching, and comprehensive practice—from medical intuition to life alignment or shifting—Manu integrates psychic, physical, and metaphysical energies. She assists her clients to experience an awareness that they already possess, by which greater health and well-being can be achieved.
