Reiki Training Courses
There are a variety of Reiki modalities and Reiki training courses that differ according to the students knowledge and experience. Training is different when you are beginner than when you have had a few attunements and have a better idea of what Reiki is.
This article will review the basic levels to give you an idea of the Reiki process as a whole.
In Reiki Level One or First Degree you are introduced to energy through a practice called attunement. You will acquire Level One after you learn about the 4 attunements; the information is taught in two days. The teachings will expose you to the healing energy of Reiki. This is called an initiation and it is where the Reiki Master will teach you how to open your chakras so you can receive this powerful Universal Life Force.
During each attunement you will be developing your relationship with energy. You will learn how it feels within your body, and how to work with it. You will also learn of the effects on using this Life Energy on yourself and others.
Once you have been attuned to Level One, you will be capable of channeling the Reiki energy. Channeling means bringing energy to your body at will and then being able to transfer it to others.
All of this learning is a process that happens during attunements and in between them, as you get to practice on yourself. This is why Reiki training courses are given throughout several days to allow your system to settle into this new space. It will take up to 21 days for complete cleansing. This means you will let go of the negative energy in your system. When you conclude Level One, you will be able to send healing energy to all living beings.
Reiki Level Two training or Second Degree should be done at least two months after you have completed Reiki Level One. This is to allow time for your vibration to build up and remain high on a regular basis.
Level Two is also a two day Reiki course where you will receive another attunement with the goal to increase your vibration and introduce you to three of the four Reiki symbols. You will also learn how to make each of these symbols work. A Reiki Level Two practitioner may be able to start healing at a distance.
Once you conclude Reiki Level Two training, you will again have to go through a 21 day cleaning phase where you’ll remove any negative energy that your body may be holding.
Most Reiki students will be pleased with what they have learned after completing Level Two. But a few will be interested in becoming Masters so they will continue to Reiki Level Three training.
There are two options for Level Three. The first one is called “3A” and it is meant for those that want to become Masters to practice Reiki on themselves and others but are not interested in teaching Reiki.
The second and final option is Third Degree or Reiki Master in which you will not only be a healer but you’ll become a trainer as well.
It is recommended to wait between 6 to 12 months before taking Reiki Level Three, to allow for extensive practice and experience. When you feel ready, you will again undergo a two day session so you may receive your final attunement. There will be another 21 day cleaning period after this attunement. The highest form of energy is received during this Level Three training. Some courses may also include a new Reiki modality in the syllabus, such as the Seichim to help you through.
What makes this last degree different is that you will learn Reiki from an instructor’s perspective.
This will enable you as the practitioner to come up with your own lesson plans, and develop your guides and manuals to teach Reiki. One subject you will learn in this level is related to the boundaries and ethics of being a Reiki Master. Some Reiki training courses will require you to pass a test that consists on creating a Level One module for training meant to treat new patients.
There are many ways in with you can enroll in a Reiki training course. It is available in some institutions, through home study programs, online learning classes and distance instruction. You just have to do some research for you to find the best option available for you.
If you decide to join a class, look for one with a limited amount of students for you to get plenty of hands-on experience, and individual attention from the instructor. They are usually limited to 4 to 8 students.
We are all able to learn and experience the wonders of Reiki. No prior experience or qualifications are required other than to keep an open mind to let the positive energy flow and achieve balance in body, mind and spirit.
