There are three levels of
Reiki training in the traditional
Usui system.
First Degree is a complete
course which gives you all you
need to work with Reiki for the
rest of your life. It is your basic
"first aid" package and em-
powers you to do self-Reiki
as well as work on others,
including plants and animals.
This class is taught in a week-
end seminar totalling 8-10
hours. The student is given
two attunements each day.
An attunement is similar to
an energy transfer performed
on the student by the Reiki
teacher or Master. This process
creates a direct connection
between the student and the
Universal Life Energy and
insures that only this energy
is being used for the healing
work. It also increases the
student's vibrational rate and
intuitive abilities.
Second Degree Reiki is
also taught in a weekend
seminar. This class teaches
you to add focus and power
to your Reiki work and enables
long distance healing. Reiki II
develops a deeper relationship
with ourselves and the work.
You are taught specific tech-
niques to heal the past, repattern
thought processes and calm the
emotions.
Third Degree Reiki is taught
to those who feel led to teach
or achieve extreme personal
growth. It is usually accomplished
by a period of apprenticeship
decided by the student's
teacher or organization. We
are members of the Oregon
Coast Reiki Association and
our period of apprenticeship is a
minimum of one year which
includes independent reading
and logging 50 hours of
Reiki sessions with clients
as well as actual classroom/
teaching experience.
