Reiki Classes and the Various Levels

I received my Reiki Master from a teacher trained in the Tibetan tradition using four levels of Reiki. I planned to teach Reiki but, after some experience, I found my groups are best served if I act as a tour guide and let Reiki do the teaching. Reiki teaches Reiki much better than I teach Reiki.

My classes are designed to let students explore Reiki. Rigorous adherance to technique is not as important as developing a feeling of Reiki. As you might suspect, especially if you read the previous page, the schedule between attunements is quite flexible.

Following are the four levels and the course descriptions as I present them. This should acquaint you with the general Reiki program. Although this is my specific approach, it is similar to what most Reiki Masters teach.

Level I: the beginning level

• The handbooks will be issued
• There will be a brief reference to the history ... the complete version is included in the handbook.
• Hand positions for self treatment and treatment of others are shown and discussed.
• There will be a discussion of the energies involved. After this discussion you will be given the opportunity to withdraw or continue.
• Those deciding to continue will be attuned.
• There will be a discussion of the attunements. Any questions or observations can be brought up at this time.
• A quick self treatment will be performed. Discussion will follow.
• The class will divide into groups of two and perform treatments on each other. A discussion of the treatments will follow.
• Certificates will be given out.

Level II: transcendence of time and space

This level is available to those certified to Level I and used Reiki for at least 3 months. Students who recieved Level I from another Reiki Master are welcome.

• There will be a brief discussion of Level I experiences and questions.
• Attunements will take place for Level III. I believe attunement before studying the symbols will make the student more open to the energies of the symbols.
• Manuals will be given out.
• Symbols will be discussed and studied.
• A symbol meditation will be taught.
• Each student will do and recieve a distant healing.
• Experiences will be discussed.
• Certificates will be issued.

Personal Mastery: personal growth, transformation, and increased enlightenment

This degree is available to those who are certified and have conscientiously been working at Level II for at least 3 months. Students of other Masters are welcome.

• Previous levels will be reviewed and discussed.
• The Personal Mastery Level will be presented briefly.
• Attunements will be performed.
• A new symbol will be introduced and discussed.
• The healing attunement will be demonstrated. Each student will then perform and receive a healing attunement. A discussion follows.
• Reiki extraction will be demonstrated and students will perform and receive extractions. Discussion will follow.
• Meditation techniques will be taught.
• Certificates will be issued.

Master/Teacher: for those wishing to teach Reiki

It is necessary that one practice Reiki conscientiously for one year and have completed Personal Mastery or the equivalent. This level requires a deep commitment to Reiki as, more than any other level other than Level I, this level will affect great changes in your life. This level is not only a step up in energy, it is a great move towards humility and opening to all life. It is a commitment to a way of being. This degree should not be entered into lightly.

• You will be given a manual covering each class and the teaching methods. This manual will be both hard copy CD ROM so you can edit and use the material to make your own manuals.
• There will be an extensive review of previous levels. This is important because you will be teaching them. The discussion will be extensive.
• Attunement to the master level will follow.
• You will learn two new symbols for opening energy flow channels.
• You will te taught how to pass attunements for all levels. Each student will have the opportunity to pass and receive attunements for all levels.
• More meditations will be taught.
• Certificates will be issued.
