Healing Levels-Degrees
The study of Reiki consists of Three Degrees
or levels, and there
are two streams of Reiki classes. In Japan, it was believed healing
was the 'by-product', so much more emphasis was placed on cultivating
and developing the internal energy – the spiritual energy system of
the practitioner. In our Western culture, much more emphasis is placed
on learning how to do the mechanics of healing and much of the internal
spiritual healing work is bypassed.
In
addition to learning the mechanics, this Reiki healing training program
combines the spiritual aspects for personal growth and development of
the Reiki practioner. An increase in healing abilities is an automatic
gift when we walk the path of reaching higher levels of spiritual understanding
and consciousness. As healing channels, the path or method requires
one to continuously strive to master healing the self so that we are
able to receive and transmit greater amounts of the Universal life force
energy for others.
Since styles
of teaching vary, it is highly recommended that individuals interview
at least 3 Reiki Master/Teachers so that they may locate the person/people
to best meet their needs. It is also highly recommended that an individual
remain with the teacher of choice for at least the First and Second
Degree training, if not, throughout the the entire process. Otherwise,
additional review classes may be required in order to undergo the Third
Degree Master/Teacher training.
