The second level of Reiki is for those 1st
Degree Reiki practitioners who wish to deepen their experience of and
commitment to using Reiki in their lives. Typically
in traditional Reiki there is a wide range of 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and even many
years between Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 training, as readiness for Reiki 2 is individual. I myself took Reiki 2 training one month after my 1st Degree Reiki Class and
I recommend the intensity of this particular timing for Reiki 2 to my
students and generally schedule my Reiki 1 classes so that a Reiki 2
training is available one month after completion of 1st degree therefore
I offer this Reiki 1 & Reiki 2 Intensive
option.
The 2nd degree Reiki class includes three
additional initiations by the Reiki master and instruction in and discussion
of the conscious
use of the three Reiki symbols that amplify the harmony, synchronicity, flow and intensity of the transfer and embodiment of
Reiki energy.
These symbols enable the 2nd degree student to send energy treatments
through space and time. The traditional fee for Reiki 2 is $500, but no
one should ever be discouraged from asking for Reiki 2 because of
current financial lack or shortfall. The deposit for any Reiki 2
class is $250 per participant. Exchanges will always be considered. Be creative! Make a
proposal! Cancer patients and
cancer health care providers and staff are especially invited to take any
Reiki 2 workshop .
What
is essential in the Reiki 2 initiation is the coming together in time and space of
symbols, mantra and an initiating master capable of
transmitting the energetic essence of Reiki 2 to the Reiki student.
How
do you choose a Reiki master for Reiki 2? In general we highly recommend
Reiki masters who are members of the
Reiki Alliance. We also suggest that you
can rely on other traditional Reiki masters who can trace their lineage and
in particular their mastery directly back to
Hawayo Takata. These are usually masters who offer straight-forward,
stand alone, single level, no-nonsense, in-person Reiki classes, and whose commitment
to Reiki is long-standing. Reiki Master Claire O'Shea has been a traditional
master in the Usui System of Natural Healing,
Usui Shiki Ryoho, since 1988.
The
following is my method of teaching a Reiki 2 class. During the first session
of the Reiki 2 class which lasts 4 hours, the students are entrusted
with and
taught to draw the three
traditional Reiki 2 symbols.
Then the students are sent home
with instructions to privately draw each of the three Reiki 2 symbols. At the second
Reiki 2
session
of 4 hours that takes place either the following day or
sometimes a week or two later, the student drawings are discussed with them by the
Reiki
master with the student, and further
education about the Reiki 2 symbols and their essence is given. As a part of this second
Reiki 2 session, the Reiki 2 students
may ritually burn their drawings. This is done because the tradition is that the symbols reach
their full power only if they are
internalized, and used only in the traditional way,
i.e., from memory.
Full traditional Reiki treatments
using the three Reiki 2 symbols
are exchanged by the Reiki 2 students and the Reiki master.
During
the three Reiki 2 initiations, the primary role of the traditional Reiki master
is to share the ceremonial act of energy transfer and empowerment with each student. Through out
each Reiki 2 class, the traditional Reiki master also shares his or
her own
personal knowledge
and years of experience in using the Reiki 2 symbols with each student and
encourages and personally mentors each student's practice of
the second level of Reiki. By the end of the Reiki 2 class, the
students receive 3 initiations and are certified by the Reiki master
as Reiki 2 practitioners.
