There are three degrees, taught traditionally. The following descriptions are one way of describing the three levels of Reiki.

First Degree Reiki:

This is the beginning level. The training includes powerful and sacred First Degree activating initiation, Chakras and it’s functions, information on the history of Reiki, Reiki meditation, Reiki prayer and ways of applying this unique science. Specific hand positions covering the head, front and back of the body, and their corresponding physical, mental, emotional and spiritual significance are extensively covered. Instructions are given on how to utilize Reiki with family, friends, plants, animals, food and water. The benefits of using Reiki in a group are discussed and an actual group treatment is experienced.

Second Degree Reiki:

This is available to those who have completed the First Degree and want to pursue a higher more powerful level. It includes a powerful, sacred Second Degree initiation, which attunes you to dynamic, multi-dimensional energy keys or symbols. These sacred symbols allow you to access many different levels or dimensions of energy. A discussion of the symbols and their origins as well as their precise usage is given in everyday life. Specific techniques of distant healing, personal transformation and healing physical, mental/emotional disorders are also presented.

Third Degree OR Masters in Reiki:

This level is for personal mastery, personal growth, transformation and increased enlightenment and who wish to teach Reiki.  It is available to those students who have been continuously working with Second Degree Reiki and feel ready for the master level. Psychic surgery and the making of crystal grids are taught at this stage to enable the learner to remove energy blocks. Students are also taught how to make an Energy Grid which brings in more light and love to the planet and send continuous Reiki treatments as well as a procedure to remove particularly difficult energy blocks.

In this level, one is taught how to do attunements, which open the recipient to receive greater amounts of Reiki energy. These attunements are not initiatory, but are designed to help you access more energy when giving hands-on or absentee treatments.

This level requires a deep commitment to the integrity of the system and the integration of Reiki as a lifestyle. It gives you the complete science for activating First, Second, Third and Master/ Teacher degrees (including complete teaching notes for each degree). It contains advanced techniques in energy activation, balance, direction and modulation for healing, transformation, integration and inner-illumination. It is not just a step up in energy; it is a way of being. The Master/Teacher level is available only upon request and interview.
