Reiki Level 2, also known as the Second Degree of Reiki, is a significant milestone in a practitioner's Reiki journey. It builds upon the foundation laid in Reiki Level 1, where you learned to channel and use Reiki energy for self-healing and the healing of others.
Level 2 introduces additional techniques and symbols that enhance your abilities and broaden your scope as a Reiki practitioner. Here's a description of what you can expect in Reiki Level 2 training:
Attunement: Similar to Reiki Level 1, Level 2 begins with an attunement process conducted by a Reiki Master. During this attunement, the Reiki symbols and their associated energy frequencies are transmitted to you, opening you up to a higher level of Reiki energy.
Introduction to Symbols: Level 2 introduces you to three sacred Reiki symbols: the Power Symbol (Cho Ku Rei), the Mental/Emotional Symbol (Sei Hei Ki), and the Distance Healing Symbol (Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen). These symbols have specific functions and are used to focus and amplify the Reiki energy.
Distance Healing: One of the most significant aspects of Reiki Level 2 is the ability to perform distance healing. With the use of the Distance Healing Symbol, you can send Reiki energy to individuals, situations, or events regardless of their physical location. This expands your ability to help people who are not physically present with you.
Emotional Healing: The Mental/Emotional Symbol (Sei Hei Ki) is particularly useful for addressing emotional and mental issues. You'll learn techniques for working with this symbol to heal past traumas, release emotional blockages, and promote mental clarity.
Amplified Healing Energy: The symbols you learn in Level 2 enhance the flow and intensity of Reiki energy, making your healing sessions more potent and effective.
Ethics and Responsibility: As you gain more powerful tools in Reiki Level 2, there's an increased emphasis on ethical considerations and the responsible use of energy. You'll learn about respecting the recipient's free will and consent and maintaining professionalism in your practice.
Practical Application: Level 2 training involves hands-on practice, both in-person and remotely. You'll work on healing techniques, experience distance healing, and gain confidence in your abilities as a Reiki practitioner.
Certification: Upon completing the Level 2 training, you'll receive a certification that acknowledges your attunement and competence in using the Level 2 symbols and techniques.
Reiki Level 2 is a significant step forward in your Reiki journey, providing you with the tools and knowledge to work on a broader range of physical, emotional, and mental issues. It also enables you to offer healing energy to people who may be far away, expanding the reach and impact of your Reiki practice.
