The Reiki Degrees and Attunements
The ability to bring about healing during Reiki is gained through receiving energy attunements during a special attunement ceremony. The energy attunement opens a channel for the universal life energy to flow through to wherever it is most needed on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level. The attunements are given by a certified Reiki Master-teacher, and the students have the opportunity to progress in their learning through three degrees.
Each Reiki degree deepens and strengthens their capacity to serve as a channel for the universal life energy.
Only when we take responsibility for our own healing are we in a position to support others in their healing process. In the Reiki first degree you will receive three attunements. They create an open channel for more universal life energy to flow through the upper body and out through the hands.
The techniques learnt in the first degree are complete in themselves. If the student does feel drawn to work with this energy at a deeper level the second degree training is recommended where, upon completion, you can practice as a Professional Practitioner Healer and are able to charge a fee for your services.
