In Reiki Level 1, you were introduced to the foundational principles and practices of Reiki, awakening your connection to Universal Life Force Energy.
Let’s revisit the key elements you learned:
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful healing modality that channels energy to restore balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.
The Reiki Principles
You explored Dr. Usui Sensei’s Five Principles of Reiki as a guide for living with mindfulness and compassion:
Just for today, do not anger.
Just for today, do not worry.
Just for today, be grateful.
Just for today, do your work honestly.
Just for today, be kind to all living things.
Self-Reiki Practice
You learned the importance of daily self-care through Reiki and how to use hand placements to channel energy to yourself for healing and relaxation.
Chakra Basics
You explored the seven major chakras and how Reiki works to balance them.
Level 1 Attunement
You experienced your first attunement and Cho Ku Rei, opening your energy channels to Reiki and beginning your personal healing journey.
Level 1 focused on internal growth, self-healing, and building a strong foundation for your Reiki practice.
In Level 2, you expanded your knowledge, skills, and responsibilities.
You learned how to connect deeper with Reiki energy and channel it for the benefit of others as well as for yourself.
Sacred Reiki Symbols
You were attuned to two more powerful symbols that amplify energy, facilitate emotional healing, and transcend time and space for distance healing: Sei He Ki (Emotional/Mental Symbol) and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (Distance Healing Symbol).
Distance Healing
You learned how to send Reiki energy to people, situations, or events across time and space, helping those you cannot treat in person.
Advanced Chakra Work
You deepened your understanding of the chakras, exploring how imbalances manifest physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and how Reiki can bring alignment.
Healing Others
You gained practical skills for treating clients or loved ones, including setting intentions, creating a healing space, and conducting professional sessions.
Practitioner Skills and Ethics
As a Level 2 Practitioner, you took on greater responsibility for the ethical use of Reiki.
Commitment to Personal Growth
Continuing your self-Reiki practice, you learned it’s crucial to stay grounded and aligned. Healing others requires you to maintain your own energetic balance and boundaries.
Respect for Energy and Ethics
Reiki is a sacred practice. Using it responsibly means treating it with reverence, respecting free will, and honoring the trust others place in you.
Consistency in Practice
Regular practice is essential to build confidence and deepen your connection with Reiki energy.
