I took Reiki Level 1 with Brian. I appreciated that he taught Usui Shiki Ryoho, which I interpreted as the fundamentals of Reiki (there’s a lot of new stuff out there, but this is more based on tradition and the foundational principles). Brian’s also a warm, funny presence who immediately spotted that I was Type-A. Before we started the practical, he smiled and said, “I know you want it to be perfect — it’s okay, it’s simpler than you think.” He was a calming presence and it was nice that he was more hands-off, except to suggest hand positions that he tries to stay comfortable. Reiki really is something that runs through us all, and something that isn’t so complicated as we think. Brian’s also a great storyteller! A lot of learning Reiki is learning about the lineage, and you will really enjoy this part.

I took the Reiki Level 1 class with Brian Brunius. It was a great experience! I walked in a little skeptical about Reiki and walked out understanding and appreciating it so much more. If you are in NYC, there is no reason you should not do this course. Do not fall for the short courses and quick fixes. Do the real deal. The reasons are primarily around the instructor and the structure of the course.

Participating in Brian’s workshop was life changing. Brian’s way of teaching and storytelling made me want to make Reiki a part of my present and future and I highly recommend taking this journey with Brian. Thank you Brian for your wisdom and generosity. I’ll never forget you. I’ve put my Reiki skills to good use. Aloha from Hawaii.

I attended Brian’s Level I Reiki class, and I was blown away! I’ve been to other Reiki trainings. NO ONE has given the depth of knowledge that Brian gives. I walked away with an excellent working facility of the practice. He gives LOTS of hands-on practice in the class. You learn by DOING. Best training I’ve had since attending the Swedish Institute for Massage Therapy. So HAPPY I decided to start over with Brian!
