How to Learn Reiki?

Reiki consists of an attunement process, which can be explained as a series of initiations, where a Reiki master transmits energy to the student in an amplified state. It creates an open channel for energy to flow in from the student’s head through the upper energy centers and out through the hands. In addition, it initiates a 21-day cleansing period, due to the quickening of the persons energy pattern.

The first degree course begins with introductory explanations and then the first of the four initiations. The first degree will enable you to transfer Reiki to yourself and others by the laying on of your hands. The physical body is opened up so that it can channel greater quantities of life force energy. Once you are initiated into the Reiki energy, you will never lose it. Even if you do not practice Reiki, it will flow automatically whenever you lay your hands on somebody for treatment.

Second degree attunement process provides a further increase in vibratory level. They initiate the person to the power keys or symbols, which are used to perform absentee and mental healing. The development of the intuitive center located at the pituitary gland is activated, thus empowering the learner and sharpening his senses. The second degree allows you to do special treatments on mental, emotional or addictive patterns.

The Master level or the third degree is final level of Reiki. Originally, Mastership was only for those dedicated to teaching but now a days more and more people are opting for the third degree. At a Reiki centre a minimum of one year of working with the Second degree is required before one can petition to be accepted for this advanced level of study. Masters are fully trained in the activation of the First and Second degree practitioners.
