Learn Reiki in 12 hours - Enjoy Self Treatments Forever

Traditional Reiki in the Usui System of Natural Healing

Reiki is a practice, which promotes self healing capabilities, awareness and well-being on physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual level.

• really quite simple, safe and holistic
• complementary to any therapy
• in case of injuries, pain, surgery and stress
• is automatically attracted to disharmony
• requires neither belief nor brainwork
• may destroy rigid belief systems
• does not require a diagnosis
• cannot be controlled or manipulated
• allows self treatments

Originally Reiki was considered a spiritual practice. Healing of body and emotions was a logical side effect. According to the legend founder Mikao Usui was searching for a tool helping to change what could be changed and helping to accept what could not be changed (the recipe for a happy life).

By connecting with Reiki Mikao Usui had found a technique, which enters our world as a harmonizer, carrying its own vested intelligence and the potential to mirror and dissolve disharmonies on all levels.

Reiki is not invasive and does not have any harmful side effects. It supports the self healing capabilities, is deeply relaxing and indeed the most natural form of meditation. Everybody can learn Reiki, and the Reiki practice does require neither belief nor specific brainwork. Reiki is tolerance instead of dogma and autonomy instead of sectarian dependency.

Reiki is practiced at the First degree, the Second degree, and the Third degree (in Reiki Network divided into 3A and Master level), with each level having a defined scope of practice.

At the core of the training, and unique to this practice, is a series of initiations, also called empowerments or attunements, which are believed to connect the student to primordial consciousness, the intelligence that permeates creation, maintaining life-sustaining functions and directing complex cellular processes, and which is the source of subtle Reiki vibration. This connection is then available at any time, regardless the student's health, mental state or intention.

Self-treatment is viewed as the foundational practice for all levels. 1 hour per day is recommended. Because of the deep relaxing effects for many practitioners this hour already became a kind of ritual. Reiki practice is considered selfrevealing, and students are not taught Reiki as much as they are taught how to learn Reiki. Initiation at each level marks the beginning of study at that level, not the culmination of learning.

Mit Shoden erhältst Du die Möglichkeit, den Anfängergrad im Reiki so zu lernen, wie Mikao Usui und Chujiro Hayashi es unterrichtet haben.

Du lernst die 5 Lebensregeln von Mikao Usui und erhältst Reiju, die ursprüngliche Form der Reiki Einweihung. Mit einem einzigen Einweihungsritual erhältst Du permanenten Zugang zu Reiki für Dein ganzes Leben. Die Einweihung hat Tamashi, den Sitz der Seele, zum Fokus. Sie wird über das Shoden Seminar 3x gegeben.

Im Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit dem geschichtlichen Hintergrund und behandeln die Bedeutung der einzelnen japanischen Begriffe. Du bekommst einen Einblick in die japanische Kultur und den japanischen Buddhismus, soweit es für Reiki relevant ist, sowie über die verschiedenen Arten von Symbolen. Wir machen Sensibilisierungsübungen und besprechen Anwendungen bei Notfällen. Dann gehen wir ausführlich auf das Byosen Konzept ein, welches die Ansammlung von Schlacken und Giftstoffen im Körper beschreibt. Du lernst das erste Reiki Symbol, welches ausschliesslich dazu dient, Byosen aufzulösen. In Gruppenbehandlungen lernst Du als Anwender, Byosen zu spüren und kannst als Empfänger die Wirkungen von Reiki auf Deinen Körper erleben. Du lernst Kekko, eine Technik, die die Blutzirkulation unterstützt und den Abschluss einer Reiki Behandlung darstellt.

Das Seminar geht über 2-3 Tage. Nach dem Kurs sind regelmässige Selbstbehandlungen oder gegenseitige Behandlungen empfohlen, vorzugsweise täglich.

Okuden ist der innere Grad im Reiki. Im Seminar wird wieder Reiju gegeben (2x), die ursprüngliche Form der Reiki Einweihung. Um den Kontext der fortgeschrittenen Techniken zu verstehen, machen wir einen weiteren Exkurs in den Buddhismus und später auch tantrischen Buddhismus. Du lernst das zweite Reikisymbol, ein zugehöriges mehrzeiliges Mantra, und wie man damit schlechte Gewohnheiten behandelt. Es folgt eine Kerzenzeremonie. Wir besprechen das japanische Konzept von Tamashi (Seele)-Geist-Körper. Ein weiterer Seminarschwerpunkt ist die Reikibehandlung einer abwesenden Person. Hierzu bekommst Du das dritte Reikisymbol vermittelt.

Das Seminar geht über 2 Tage. Regelmässige Selbstbehandlungen oder gegenseitige Behandlungen bleiben empfohlen, vorzugsweise täglich.

The First Degree is the original seminar during which one receives the access to Reiki for life. The student receives 4 initiations spread over two days or three nights. This is obviously the most important part of the seminar and is what makes the First Degree the most important level of Reiki. For a Reiki practitioner, nothing can be more important than being initiated to Reiki energy for life. Besides the initiations, the student is given talks on the science and metaphysics of Reiki with plenty of case histories to back up the theory.

They are also taught how to give self - treatments, to treat animals and plants, and to treat others in both crisis and chronic situations. Interspersed with this are practical sessions wherein the students are given the opportunity to put things into practice and experience the Reiki firsthand.

Informative and enjoyable, the First Degree workshop lasts a minimum of 10 hours. There are no examinations or tests because there is little to learn or know. There is really no need to give a lot of explanation because what really counts is the receiving of Reiki and using it by placing your hands on the body. Many Reiki Masters adhere to this philosophy and teach very little in their workshops choosing to focus primarily on practical application.

Nevertheless, the Reiki Network has found that in this day and age people are more likely to utilize a technique if they receive a good explanation of its dynamics. Otherwise evidence indicates that students often don't end up using it to its fullest capacity. For example, one can met Reiki practitioners who have not understood the concept of regular self - treats as a form of preventative medicine.

As a result, all Reiki Masters who are members of the Reiki Network give a required minimum amount of theoretical training. The format of this training and the other aspects of the workshop can vary according to the background of the Reiki Master and the culture they are teaching in.

In the Second Degree workshop the students are taught advanced techniques involving the use of symbols. These are essentially energy patterns that, when utilized by someone initiated to them, enable practitioners to influence their lives in very powerful ways. The student is initiated to the symbols and then taught their many uses.

One of the most exciting Second Degree techniques is the treatment of people (and in fact any energy blueprint or energy field) at a distance. This is, of course, very different from the hands - on application of Reiki in First Degree, and has obvious practical benefits if you have loved ones who live overseas.

The principles on how and why this works are explained and many different ways of doing it are also explained. Second Degree practitioners can send the equivalent of one hour of First Degree Reiki in fifteen minutes, and can send to more than one person at a time. This is very time saving if you have a lot of people to treat. Once the principles are understood, the practical is easy.

Because the Second Degree technique enables treatment of any energy field, plants (crops etc.), and animals may be treated as effectively as people. The symbols have other individual uses, such as potentizing energy fields, harmonizing people and places, providing protection, and developing intuition. The level of Reiki energy in the hands is also increased.

Whereas First Degree Reiki is very straightforward in its application, Second Degree has an extremely eclectic and expansive array of applications. With the copious amounts of information involved, students usually leave the seminar enthusiastically planning enough projects to keep them busy for a lifetime!

Everyone who attends the Second Degree workshop will leave with certain skills. In First Degree, everyone leaves the workshop with the same amount of Reiki. In Second Degree the skills learned can be developed further. There are good practitioners of Second Degrees, very good ones, and great Second Degree practitioners according to the knowledge and development of skills such as intent and focus.

The degree of information imparted in Second Degree seminars varies significantly. Many Reiki Masters choose to impart only the basic information regarding distant treatment of another person. The Reiki Network has a set teaching program of ten hours minimum duration that ensures that all students receive a uniformly high standard of teaching and seminar content.

This is the level where the Reiki Network has broken from tradition. Normally Second Degree is as high as you can go in Reiki unless you want to become a Reiki Master and teach Reiki.

One of the problems that many Reiki Masters have observed is that very often Second Degrees have gone to the time, effort, and expense to become Reiki Masters only to find that they are not suitable to teach Reiki. This is evidenced by their own feelings about the subject once they become Masters, or by the fact that they do not attract students. Experience has shown that only about 30 percent of Reiki Masters are actively teaching.

There are also many students who would like to go as far as they can with their Reiki but have no desire to teach Reiki (or so they think at that time). For these reasons many Reiki Masters saw the need for an intermediate stage between Second Degree and Masters.

The Reiki Network members (and many other Masters and associations) now teach Third Degree Reiki. (Often called 3A so as not to confuse it with the Reiki Masters who refer to themselves as Third Degrees). This Workshop is a three - day intensive program during which advanced theories and techniques of Reiki are taught. The student also receives a traditional Master's initiation that has a dramatic affect on the students personal growth and life awareness.

The Third Degree student is taught the first of the four Reiki initiations/ attunements. This enables the student to experience the joy of being able to initiate someone to higher levels of awareness and development as well as experience Reiki in the hands. The Reiki energy is not permanent because it will only be permanent when all four attunements are performed. The patients can experience the Reiki for a few weeks and even use it to treat themselves.

The Third Degree practitioner is also taught many other applications and knowledge that they can use for personal growth or to help others on many levels.

The Third Degree student, once in touch with the higher levels of Reiki, can use them for the rest of his/ her life. The student is then able to make the decision with clarity, whether or not he/ she wants to go on to the level of Reiki Master. In the Reiki Network, we choose all our Reiki Master trainees from Third Degrees. As a result, all the screening process seems to work very well.
