Learn Reiki
Dr. Chris Lipat, DC, Reiki Master,
offers in-person classes
Reiki was a great entry for Dr. Chris Lipat, DC into the realm of energy healing, which eventually led them to create their advanced healing arts Mind-Body Energy Medicine practice. Reiki is a wonderful way to contribute to another's journey towards health and wholeness. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Learning reiki transforms your relationship with your body, your mind, your spirit. It causes you to be with your friends and family in a whole new way, if you're ready and willing.
Dr. Chris Lipat, DC has been a White Light Reiki and Karuna Reiki® Master Teacher since 2004.
Dr. Lipat (doc, they, she) is a holistic chiropractor and has been practicing Mind-Body Energy Medicine since 2011. Dr. Lipat is also a certified Magaanito and Sibulan Adlaw Tala Mystic Oracle Practitioner from the Hilot Academy of Binabaylan. Dr. Lipat began their holistic healing journey with taking their first Reiki class in 2002, volunteering for 3 years as a Reiki practitioner at Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Care Clinic for low-income women with cancer in Oakland, CA. Dr. Lipat's spiritual healing path eventually led them to become a chiropractor. Dr. Lipat incorporates reiki into their truly integrative Mind-Body Energy Medicine practice.

Karuna Reiki® is the next level after White Light Reiki 3 Expert Level. Karuna Reiki® was founded by teachers at The International Center for Reiki Training and their manuals are used for the classes. Because the energies are stronger and potential for healing greater, Karuna Reiki® is only taught to people who have been attuned to and practicing at White Light Expert Level 3 or any Reiki Level 3. If you cannot make the following dates, please inform me of your interest and availability and I may shift dates to accommodate the most students available.
There are two levels plus a master teaching level in Karuna Reiki®. Karuna Reiki® 1 and 2 are practitioner levels. Those who go on to take the Karuna Reiki® master class can order manuals from the International Center for Reiki Training, and the Karuna Reiki® master level is required if your goal is to become a White Light Reiki master that can eventually attune other White Light Reiki masters.
I teach Karuna Reiki® Master level in a follow up weekend on the same day as the White Light Reiki Master level training. White Light Reiki Masters in my line, from Maria Socorro Laya Smith, are powerful because of their experience, training and additional attunement to Karuna Reiki® energies.

Although Karuna Reiki® master training is not required to be attuned to White Light Reiki master level (Karuna Reiki Practitioner Levels 1 & 2 is required), it is required if you want to attune other White Light Reiki masters. Otherwise, without the Karuna Reiki® master attunement, as a White Light Reiki master, you are only able to attune students up to White Light Expert Level (Level 3). That is why I schedule the Karuna Reiki® master and White Light Reiki master classes on the same day.
The KNOWING Method, an intuitive meta healing framework, developed by Dr. Chris Lipat, which complements any mind-body energy practice, will be discussed. It is highly recommended that you read this short e-book prior to the class.

Preparation for your Reiki Class Attunement
To begin the week before class — these points are suggested but not required:
- Eat healthy food (if you eat meat, choose the no-hormone kind) and abstain from or decrease caffeine (including chocolate) and any unnecessary medications. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided. These create imbalances in the nervous and endocrine systems.
- Minimize caffeine on the day of the class.
- Nourish your adrenals.
- If you smoke, cut back a few days before and minimize smoking on the day of the class.
- If you practice meditation regularly, practice meditation daily for a week leading up your class.
- Consider seeing Dr. Lipat or other mind-body energy work practitioners prior to class to align and prepare your body for receiving and/or integrating each high vibrational reiki energy attunement.
