Reiki Lessons

Reiki is an art that has to be learnt from an experienced Master. Reiki has come a long way from its traditional Japanese roots and with time and travels to foreign shores has changed and merged with other spiritual practices and therapies to become more versatile and contemporary. The original tradition was started by Dr. Usui Mikao and thus sometimes you may also hear Reiki called as Usui Reiki Ryoho, Reiki Ryoho or even Reiho in short. Traditionally Reiki has three degrees or levels but you can find some schools who teach more than 3 even going up to seven or more. Below is a short description of the four different levels of Reiki and the lessons contained in each of these levels. However this is format that may change for different schools and you may come across different teachings under different Reiki Masters, each of whom teach lessons according to their own tradition and expertise.

First Degree Reiki (Level 1):

The beginning level of Reiki generally deals with the healing of the self. This may include lessons for initiation for the First Degree, a briefing of the history and mythos of Reiki, the various traditions and different Reiki associations worldwide. All this is coupled with learning to practically use Reiki like the hand positions and their usage, the benefits and different correspondences of Reiki and using this art to heal friends, family and every living creature like pets and plants and charging edibles with Reiki energy. All the spiritual significance and their subsequent effects on healing the mind, body and soul are covered in this degree.

Second Degree Reiki (Level 2):

After having completed the First Degree successfully you can opt for the more advanced Second Degree. The key factor about the Second Degree is the imparting of the sacred Reiki symbols which were traditionally kept secret from initiates until they reached the Second Level. These symbols are discussed in depth and methods to use them in meditations and for general practice and focusing energy are taught. Distance healing and healing more advanced disorders are also taught at this level.

Third Degree Reiki (Level 3):

This is a level for Personal Mastery that is yet more advanced and for people striving for inner growth and intuitive development and adept in channeling Universal Spiritual Reiki Energy. Complex energy working techniques are taught at the Third Level including working with chakras and performing psychic surgeries to remove blockages and spiritual slime from the aura. Building crystal grids to continuously transmit Reiki energy in order to bring peace, harmony and light in this world and advanced procedures for distance healing.

Master Level Reiki

For those who wish to teach Reiki. However applying for a Master Level requires a very high level of Personal Mastery where the person must be a regular practitioner of Reiki and extreme proficiency in the techniques of the Third Level. Notes for teaching are also given at this stage and open the portal to channeling greater amounts of Reiki energy, attunement and also activating, directing and balancing energy. This is not a mere level but a way of life and is a privileged level that is available only by interview of the candidate. This level is a huge step up regarding wisdom and inner transformation and the way of the ascetic.

However many schools may break up this level and the others too to better inculcate some of the lessons.
