What is Reiki?

Reiki (Ray-Key) is a Japanese word meaning

"Universal Life Force Energy" or "Cosmic Energy". 

 

 Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho is the traditional system used to apply this universal life force energy. 

Reiki is one of the simplest of the spiritual/healing arts to learn and to practice.  Moreover it is wonderful for enhancing an existing spiritual or healing practice by

Initiating a stronger connection to source.

 There are three basic levels (or degrees) in traditional Reiki.

 

  • First degree - The foundation for the whole Reiki system where you will learn the importance and techniques for the spiritual practice of Reiki that leads to the healing of yourself and others. Including the hands-on practice for treating yourself and others, the Reiki precepts, Reiki history, and additional Reiki techniques for specific illnesses.

 

  • 2nd Degree - Where you will begin to connect and learn the symbols used in Reiki. You will learn one symbol for making a direct connection to the subconscious mind in order to treat mental/emotional issues such as addictions, bad habits, depression, anxiety, or to reinforce and strengthen a good habit, spiritual practice or discipline. You'll learn another symbol for sending Reiki remotely for absentee treatments that can be used for treating other people, animals, or situations. And a final symbol that acts as a command to put the energy here, which will increase the Reiki power two-fold.

 

  • 3rd Degree (Reiki Master) - All about learning to teach. There are three levels:

    • Shihan-kaku (assistant teacher), where one learns how to train and initiate first-degree students

    • Shihan (teacher), where one learns how to teach and initiate second-degree students

    • Dai Shihan (head teacher), where one learns to train and initiate new Reiki Masters 

 

 

Anyone can learn Reiki. It is a spiritual practice first and a healing modality second that can enhance any other spiritual, religious, or healing practices. Whether you want to learn Reiki for healing yourself, start a healing practice to assist others in their healing process, start a daily spiritual practice, or to enhance an existing healing or spiritual practice, the benefits are many.
