Traditionally, there are three degrees of Reiki practice, each building on the other and each outlining a unique, specific scope of practice.  However, a daily hands-on Reiki self-treatment practice provides the foundation for all leveles of training.

Becoming attuned to Reiki is a wonderful life changing event.  The only pre-requisite to learning Reiki is an open heart and a desire to grow while healing oneself and others.  Once you are attuned to Reiki by a qualified Reiki Master it will be with you always in every situation for the rest of your life.  Reiki can inspire you with new ideas and insights, comfort you when you are in pain or emotional distress, and give you an outlet to share love and healing with the world.

In first degree Reiki, students practice self-treatment and full treatment with one another.  This class prepares students to give themselves daily Reiki treatment for life.  The hand placements to use when sharing Reiki with others, either through a full session or an abbreviated chair treatment, as well as how to offer Reiki in acute situations and through informal spot treatment is also covered at this degree level.  Four initiations are received at this level.

In second dgree Reiki, students learn distant healing and the use of Reiki symbols.  With this mental connection, healing can be offered even when touch is impossible or inappropriate.  Techniques taught at this level can also be used to enhance a hands-on treatment.  Only one initiation is received at this level to open the students to an even greater flow of energy.  This level helps the students bring more focus to their Reiki practice.

The third level of training is Reiki Master.  Traditionally, the Reiki Master level of training was by invitation only.   This invitation was extended only to accomplished students who were prepared to devote their lives to teaching people to practice Reiki.  In addition, Reiki Master training is traditionally done through an extended apprenticeship with a qualifed Reiki Master.  Only Reiki Masters can teach Reiki to others.

This level of training is offered at A Reiki Life: Treatment and Training Center in a one year apprenticeship program.  There is an initial review period to determine the readiness of the master student candidate.  Acceptance isn't guaranteed.  Please contact Nancy Bunt to discuss this level of training.  (704) 996-4079
 

NOTE:  Whether you seek to practice Reiki on yourself or others, learning Reiki is not an intellectual exercise.  Proficiency with Reiki is developed through practice, not from taking the next level training.
