Reiki Education
There are many different forms of Reiki, but in general there are three levels of Reiki practitioner. To find out more about becoming a Reiki practitioner, consulting one or more of the Reiki Organizations listed above may be of help.
Here is s brief overview:
Reiki Level 1: The First Degree
Level 1 is a practitioner's initiation into Reiki and is open to anyone. The focus during Level 1 is on awareness and opening of energy channels on a physical level, allowing the practitioner to connect to the universal life force energy.
Many Reiki Masters emphasize self-care as the goal of the Level 1 designation, encouraging students to focus on practicing Reiki on themselves, their loved ones, and perhaps their pets. Typically the Level 1 course includes an overview of the history of Reiki and guidance for practicing Reiki.
Reiki Level 2: Second Degree
Level 2 is often defined by a focus on practicing Reiki on others, as well as an expanded opening of the energy channels. Level two instruction allows the practitioner to connect more deeply to the universal energy using the Reiki symbols, and to draw on the qualities that the symbols represent. This includes the ability to provide distance Reiki, or sending healing energy to individuals wherever they may be.
Reiki Level 3: Third Degree & Reiki Master
In many courses, the Third Degree and Reiki Master are the same designation. However some teachers separate Reiki Master Practitioner (Level III) from Reiki Master Teacher, honoring and reflecting the intention of the Reiki student.
