Reiki is traditionally taught in three degrees. Each of the three degrees of Reiki include the learning of new skills in energetic healing, as well as opening channels in the student through the "attunements", which allow the energy field to receive and transmit energy more powerfully. This naturally results in adjustments, which may include detoxification or "clearing" symptoms, as the student’s energy field realigns to the new flows of energy.
- First Degree (Shoden):
Generally includes the Reiki Principles, the hand positions,
Reiki History, and you receive the Reiki Attunements. In
traditional schools there are four Attunements done at the first
level. In other schools, including the Tibetan/Usui schools,
there may be a combined level I Attunement. Some schools teach
that Reiki I heals on the physical level.
- Second Degree (Okuden): Generally includes the three Reiki Symbols and provides tools for sending Reiki long distance and for the use of Reiki on the mental level and another Attunement. The Tibetan/Usui school adds the techniques scanning and beaming. Some schools teach Reiki II is "emotional healing".
- Third Degree, Reiki Master (Shinpiden): Generally includes the Usui Master Symbol and its meaning and application, The Attunement process and practice in its application, and how to teach others. Some schools teach that Reiki III is for Spiritual healing.
Attunements:
When attending a Reiki course the participant gets attuned/ initiated by a Reiki master through a simple process, this opens him/her to receive and utilize more of the Universal Life Energy.
