THE LEVELS OF REIKI JIN KEI DO
Level 1
The first level is the Foundation Level and allows the student to gain experience of the system through using Reiki as an energy-healing therapy on themselves, family and friends.
The 1st Level initiation is given. Guidance is given on basic mindfulness meditation and how to integrate this into a hands-on healing context. The Six Point Meditation is introduced which enhances the flow of energy and helps bring stillness and awareness of energy to the mind. The importance of meditation whilst engaging in energy-healing is discussed. A simple Qi Gong method called The Seven Purifying and Strengthening Breaths is introduced.
Level 2
The second level is the Practitioner Level which allows students to take on clients professionally for a fee.
The 2nd Level initiation is given. At this level, Reiki treatments can also be done at a distance. Further guidance is given on mindfulness meditation. The three traditional Reiki symbols are introduced as meditation objects. Methods are also taught to enable the student to increases the flow of energy through the use of the symbols and thus its effectiveness in an energy-healing context. Working with Reiki on marma points is introduced. Guidance is given on setting up a professional Reiki practice.
Level 3
The third level is the Teacher (Master) Level and is for those who wish to go on to teach Reiki to others.
The 3rd Level initiation is given. Guidance is then given on how to conduct the initiations for Levels 1, 2, and 3 with extensive practice of these processes. Further, detailed guidance is given on mindfulness meditation and its place within the Reiki system. The fourth traditional Reiki symbol is introduced with information on its use as a meditation object and as an aid in self-applications of Reiki and the initiation process. The emphasis at this level is quality and integrity and the development of compassion and wisdom within the prospective Reiki teacher.
Level 3 is generally broken down into three distinct parts: Part A, the beginning of the journey into becoming a Reiki teacher, extends the self-development work of the 2nd Level as well as introducing further ways of working with marma points in a healing context. Further meditation practice is introduced. Part B is devoted entirely to learning the initiation processes for Levels 1 and 2. This part of Level 3 can take up to a year (or more) to complete as there is extensive self-study work to complete. In Part C the initiation process for new Reiki teachers is taught.
The division of Level 3 into three parts does not constitute official 'mini levels' within the tradition of Reiki Jin Kei Do but is given simply to ease the path for students through this extensive training programme.
There is more detailed information on the three levels given on the Courses page.
