Reiki 2 - Okuden - Practitioner

Okuden is your next step on the Reiki path following the beginner level, with the Practitioner course covering:

• An intuitive update on your Reiki knowledge based on traditional teachings from Mikao Usui

• How to differentiate between the energies of earth ki and heavenly ki

• The importance of experiencing a state of oneness and its use in distant healing

• How to open yourself to intuitive working

• Ways of directing the energy using intent

• The Reiki symbols: how and when to use them

​​

‘Second Degree’ brings the student up to ‘practitioner’ level, and the three Japanese empowerments that we give you enable you to ‘hold’ and channel more energy than was possible at First Degree. The empowerments also connect you strongly to aspects of the energy that are represented by the three Reiki symbols. You will learn how to use the three Reiki symbols and mantras, which can be used as a basis for self-treatment, and which help to make your treatments stronger and more effective, as well as some other simple and inspiring approaches from Japan.

​

Reiki 2 Okuden is not all about becoming a Reiki Practitioner; as Reiki is first and foremost about you, about your development and growth. At Second Degree, you will learn further tools that you can use to move your experience of Reiki on to the next level.  it is an opportunity to explore Reiki more deeply and learn to focus the energies in a particular way as you learn the different frequencies that facilitate greater physical, emotional and spiritual balance for yourself or others.

​

Original Usui Reiki is a very intuitive and fluid system, free from the dogma and rules that are sometimes part of Western-style Reiki training. An important part of Second Degree is to move beyond standard hand positions when treating people and to embrace your intuition. You’ll learn to let the energy guide you in where you rest your hands; it’s a lovely way to work.

​

You’ll learn how to share Reiki, across a room or long-distance, in a variety of ways, so you can experiment and find the approach that works best for you. Distant or remote healing is a very humbling and fulfilling practice, a beautiful meditation that connects deeply to the person, or beings, with whom you share Reiki.

​

Of course, no Reiki course is "complete" without students exchanging a treatment, to practise what they have been learning.

Maximum number of participants per course: 4

​

Study Pack:

You will receive a study pack when you reserve a place on your chosen course, consisting of both audio and printed manual. We will go over this information briefly on the day of the course, but most of the day will concentrate on practice rather than theory. We spend the live part of your course working with energy and putting what you have learned into practice.
