Reiki is a spiritual and physical healing practice that helps individuals
overcome health issues and produce stress management in their lives. Reiki has
been used for healing since the end of the last century, but is still growing in
popularity today. Listed below are the steps to take if you desire to learn
Reiki and become a Reiki Master. There are three levels of Reiki that must be
completed in order to become a Reiki Master. These are the First Degree level,
the Second Degree level, and the Master/Teacher, or Third Degree, level. Each
level is explained below. First Degree Reiki In the First Degree level of Reiki,
you'll learn how Reiki works, Reiki's historical background, and the different
types of Reiki systems that exist today. You'll also be initiated into Reiki and
receive your first Reiki energy experience through Reiki Attunement. Through
Reiki Attunement, you'll learn first-hand how to tune in to Reiki energy and use
it for stress management and physical and emotional healing. This initiation
usually involves lying on your back or stomach while a Master or practitioner
places his or her hands from your head to toes to approximate the traditional
chakra locations. The energy flows through the Master's hands into your body.
Although much training is provided through home courses and online courses, you
should receive your Reiki Attunement through a Master in person to fully
understand Reiki. Once you've experienced Reiki for yourself, you'll start
learning how to give others Reiki treatments. Second Degree Reiki In the Second
Degree level of Reiki, you'll expand on your initial experiences. You'll learn
about distance healing as well. Distance healing involves channeling Reiki
energies to someone in another town or even another country! The energy
vibration is different with this type of Reiki. It has a higher proportion of
energy from the Source and a lower proportion of Chi than the First Degree
level. Where the First Degree level promotes primarily physical healing, the
Second Degree level promotes healing on a mental, spiritual and emotional level.
Master/Teacher Reiki or Third Degree Level In the Master/Teacher, or Third
Degree, level of Reiki, you'll learn how to use Reiki symbols and what they
mean. You'll also learn how to use various methods of stress management such as
healing drumming and crystal healing with crystals. You'll become familiar with
sacred mantras and how the different energies work so you can teach others.
You'll also be able to perform Reiki Attunements. There are many workshops,
online and off-line, to help you learn Reiki. There are also places you can go
to have a wonderful Reiki experience, such as the Bell Rock Vortex in Sedona,
Arizona. Wherever you go or whomever you choose to help you along the Reiki
journey, make sure to open yourself fully to the Reiki energy so you can
experience its true healing power....
