2-Day Reiki Level One Energy Healing Training in Kathmandu

The training runs over two consecutive days, starting at 10 AM. Day one covers Reiki foundations: what life-force energy is, how the channel works, the history and principles of the practice, and how to prepare yourself before a session. The main event of day one is your Level One attunement, which opens the healing channel and is what formally makes you a Reiki Level One practitioner.

Day two shifts to hands-on practice. You'll learn and repeat the standard hand positions for treating yourself, then work in pairs to give and receive a full session under supervision. The afternoon turns to chakra awareness — what each chakra relates to, how to sense imbalance, and how Reiki is applied with that map in mind. You'll finish with a self-healing routine you can run at home in 20–30 minutes.

The Institute of Natural Medicine is based in Kathmandu and is described as the single nationally and internationally affiliated massage academy in Nepal. That affiliation matters if you plan to go on to massage or bodywork training — this is a school with recognised credentials rather than a standalone workshop. The teaching style is hands-on and repetitive; you practise each technique multiple times before moving on.

What sets this apart from a general Reiki weekend is the instructor pairing. Swami Ji Mnhal Tousis teaches sound healing and Reiki, and Nabin Karki is a practising massage therapist, so the energy-work instruction sits alongside a working knowledge of the body. If you're planning to combine Reiki with massage or bodywork later, that combination is useful.

It's a commuter course, not a residential retreat. You sleep in one of the Institute's rooms if you book accommodation, but the programme itself is two days of classroom and practice time in Kathmandu. Most people pair it with a longer stay in the city — Boudhanath, Swayambhunath and Durbar Square are all within reach outside course hours.
