Many experts believe that attunements similar to those we know as Reiki attunements may have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago. Modern day Reiki is widely believed to have been discovered (or more appropriately re-discovered) by Dr Mikao Usui in the 1920’s, following many years of research, learning and searching for answers to questions about just how laying on of hands resulted in healing.
Reiki is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Force, the energy around us and within us. Reiki is a way of activating, directing and applying natural energy for the promotion of health, healing, balance and wholeness. This form of healing is a holistic creative energy and therefore useful for preventing imbalance, assisting the body's natural healing powers and maintaining the rebalance as a state of well-being. This energy is never exhausted, as it is pure life itself. Reiki/Seichem can benefit physical, mental and emotional health. This energy can help relaxation, pain, concentration, the immune system and it can also assist the body in clearing out toxins. Reiki/Seichem can also help grief and is safe for children, babies and animals.
The Four Degrees of Reiki
Reiki Degree 1 (Reiki Healer) is for people who want to develop the capacity to heal by direct touch (both for self-healing and others in need). This is the first essential step for all Reiki healers. The energy centres are opened to allow the channelling of the Universal Life Force Energy for healing. Both experienced and novice healers experience a considerable increase in the healing power channelled. The cost of the training is £70.00.
Reiki Degree 2 (Reiki Practitioner) is for those who wish to take a step upward in healing power and who wish to be more effective in healing at a distance and working with mental and emotional issues. Symbols (as revealed to Dr. Usui, the first Reiki Master) are given which enhance and focus the healing energy. “Hands on healing” is also more powerful. Psychic perception may be increased. You may now apply for insurance and set up as a Reiki practitioner. The cost of the training is £90.00.
Reiki Degree 3 (Master Healer or Advanced Reiki Training): An intermediate level of training in Reiki Mastery may be received. The student receives the Master Symbol for use in healing and is taught advanced methods of hands on and distance healing. The use of crystal grids in distance healing, advanced breathing techniques for personal development. The cost is £125.00
Reiki Degree 4 - Usui Reiki Master is for those who wish to learn how to give the attunements to others and who feel ready to take on a teaching role. This is not a step to be taken lightly, as those who have the ability to enable others to heal more effectively, take on a responsibility to share the gift with others. At this stage Reiki Healing becomes the predominant focus of a person’s life. The cost is £375.00.
