Reiki
Reiki is slightly different to other healing methods as an attunement is required. The attunements are an ancient process that fine-tune the physical and subtle bodies to a higher vibrational level. The attunement process also enables the chakra system to channel more life-force energy or chi. Most people find working with Reiki to be quite a profound experience.
There are four stages to Reiki:
Reiki 1
Attunement to Reiki 1 opens the student’s Reiki channel and enables the Reiki to flow. Reiki 1 is intended for self-healing and for use on family and friends rather than professional practice.
Reiki 2
Attunement to Reiki 2 opens the channel still further and generally strengthens and develops the flow of Reiki. The student is given three of the Reiki symbols, each with specific properties which enhance Reiki and also enable the student’s experience of Reiki to grow and develop.
Reiki 3
Reiki 3 is in two stages: Master Practitioner and Master Teacher. Master Practitioner involves a further attunement and a further symbol. Reiki is enhanced on a personal level.
Taking on Reiki Master Teacher is a very personal decision and should not be undertaken lightly. If you would like details of this element of Reiki Mastership please contact Niki directly.
Reiki 3/Mastership has been split into two parts to take into account the changing views of insurers of complementary therapies, some of whom are now requesting that Reiki Practitioners have achieved Reiki 3 before they are eligible for insurance. However, Reiki 2 is still an acceptable level by many insurers and therefore it is not always necessary to take Reiki to Mastership level unless you feel that it is something you would very much like to do.
Attunements in Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki Master Practitioner are all 2 day courses (the days are not consecutive), with the option of a further 2 days if you do eventually wish to take the Mastership onto Master Teacher.
