Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki
After you have had Usui Reiki I, you can take Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki (also known as SSR), a version of Reiki developed by Diane Ruth Shewmaker in conjunction with Patrick Zeigler, based on his experiences in the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. We strongly suggest having taken Usui Reiki I before taking the SSR I-II class, however, if you have already taken other energy healing modalities, you may take this class as your first Reiki training.
