Reiki is mostly thought of as a way for healing and stress reduction. Although is has been successfully used for a variety of ailments and conditions, we belief it is of spiritual origin. We receive the greatest benefit by being attuned to this energy and working ourselves with it directly. Reiki helps us to overcome obstacles and our life may change. The changes we experience differ depending on needs and aspirations of every individual. It can be seen as a blessing and is always for the highest good. Many students report a turn in their lives, relationships, etc. and are truly amazed at the results.
There are three degrees (or levels) of Reiki:
This is a two-day class, usually held on a weekend, and totals thirteen hours of instructions including practice time. This introductory course is all that is required to heal yourself or others.
a. how to give Reiki treatments to others, pets, plants
b. how to treat yourself
c. about the seven major chakras and some minor chakras
d. the history of Reiki
e. the Five Reiki Principles
f. Gassho meditation
g. intuitively guided treatments
a. four attunements
b. handbook or manual
c. certificate
This is the level for Distance/Absent Healing and furthers your empowerment. Reiki can be sent beyond the limitation of time and space with the help of the three second degree reiki symbols. They are also used to enhance treatments, for protection, removing of obstacles, and much more.
This level is taught in a one-day class with six hours of instructions. You will receive two attunements in this class that will empower you to use these symbols and increase the flow of reiki energy.
We will get to know the meaning of these symbols and memorize to draw and pronounce them. You will learn the many different uses, and how to use and send them. This is the intermediate level and you will receive your Second Degree Certificate.
The Reiki III training is divided into two parts. Originally being a Master (western term) meant to be a teacher. Since many students like to enjoy the benefit of the Master attunement and the increased intensity of the reiki energy associated with this level most teachers today offer what we call a “Reiki IIIa – Practitioner” level. The attunement provides the benefit of this level without the commitment and responsibilities of a teacher. This level is taught in a one-day class.
There is one attunement and you will learn to draw, pronounce and use the Master Symbol.
We review the second degree and it's many uses, and we will work with some of the Japanese healing and cleansing techniques Dr. Usui and Dr. Hayashi taught:
Jacki-Kiri Joka-Ho
Joshin Kokyuu Ho
Koki Ho
Enkaku Chiryo
These were not taught by Mrs. Takata and discovered only in recent years
in Japan.
You will receive your Reiki Master Certificate.
