The different levels




Goutte de miel

Dans l'infini.

Suspendue dans son ambre,

Glisse, glisse...

Une vague de conscience.

Level one reiki

Being initiated into Level One Reiki means you will already be able to transfer reiki to another person. But at this stage it is preferable to concentrate on self treatment first. This stage corresponds to the body, to physical health. It amplifies the energy flowing through the body, freeing up any areas of tension. This encourages healing.

Training sessions are really useful at this level. They include the presentation of reiki, its history, and different hypotheses explaining how it functions. The techniques for treating others and oneself are taught and practiced, as well as breathing and energy harmonization techniques.

Level two reiki

Level two reiki corresponds to the mind. The practitioner initiated into level two can use reiki on a higher vibratory level, producing physical, mental and emotional effects.

At this second stage, the reiki symbols are transmitted to the practitioner and training sessions also cover the technique of remote reiki treatment and diverse exercises on the perception of energy.

Level three reiki

Level three reiki involves an even subtler form of energy. The practitioner who seeks to be initiated into this stage does so because he or she is particularly interested in personal meditation. Teaching sessions transfer the reiki master’s symbol, encourage the further development of all the techniques practiced beforehand and include « energy surgery » and a deeper approach to meditation.

 

Becoming a Reiki master

This is the level where you become a master teacher. In some reiki schools of thought, there are only three levels, the third often being divided into two parts. Becoming a reiki master means you can initiate others into reiki.

This fourth stage introduces the practitioner to new symbols which are used for inititation.
Strictly speaking, there is no teaching programme. Instead of bringing one’s reiki practice to a conclusion, this initiation should be considered as the first step on a new journey. Greater responsibility means that modesty and moderation in both words and acts become more than ever necessary at this level.
