What do you think makes a powerful Reiki Master Manual?

A Reiki Master Manual defines Reiki as a gentle, yet profound, non-invasive therapy, which can facilitate stress-reduction and relaxation, support effective immune-system function, enhance the body’s self-healing mechanisms, and replenish and nurture vitality.

You will also explore that Reiki can be effectively applied with other therapies, and is very effective to stimulate relaxation and recovery.

Rather than working only on the physical level, Reiki has an overall effect on all levels on ones being - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

It can prove beneficial in the resolving of physical disorders, nervous conditions and emotional issues, and help nurture a greater sense of balance, well-being, and wholeness in ones life.

The Reiki treatments have no negative side effects, and no concentration on the part of clients is neither needed, nor expected.

A complete Reiki Master Manual contains 3  parts:

- Reiki 1  - Reiki 2 - - Reiki 3 Master/Teacher Level

Reiki Master Manual 1

What means Reiki Level 1?

In Level 1, the Reiki Master Attunement opens the students awareness of the flow of Reiki.

Traditionally, in Usui Shiki Ryoho the outer focus of Level 1 Reiki is on hands-on therapy at a purely physical level both for self-treatment and for treating others.

However,  on the energetic level Reiki1 is about developing the chakra system and learning to become a clear channel for Reiki.

It is about learning to let go and let the energy flow - about learning to step out of the way - learning to override the desire of ones conscious mind to interfere in the therapeutic process, and instead, simply let the Reiki phenomenon ‘happen’.

The attitude should be one of almost Zen-like, compassionate, detachment: “Sitting quietly, ‘no-doing’, not seeking after outcomes, Reiki flows. If healing happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t - either way it’s no concern of mine.”

Developing this attitude early on will greatly enhance the quality of ones experience with Reiki.

Reiki Master Manual 2

What means Reiki Level 2?

As Level 1 opens the student to the awareness of the energy of Reiki, the Level 2 Reiki Master Attunement enhances the quality of that flow.

The student should have  developed the attitude of ‘compassionate detachment from expectations’ at level 1, the Level 2 is adding a set of symbolic tools enabling them to ’set’ intentions - and broaden the scope of their therapeutic interventions.

Within the Level 2 manual and training, the student is introduced to a set of three sacred Reiki Master symbols, and is instructed in their use as a means of:

- enhancing the effectiveness of physical level treatment (both hands-on and on-contact-  i.e. in the clients aura)  - carrying out treatment at deeper psycho-emotional levels  - performing distant or remote treatments - i.e. for people not physically present.

Reiki Master Manual 3

What is Reiki Level 3 ?  Reiki Level 3 is commonly referred to as the ‘Master’ level, but can be more properly seen as the ‘Teacher’ level. The level represents the ability at which the practitioner will manifest the  Initiation/Reiki Master Attunements to others.

This level’s Attunement brings a greater deepening of connection to the Reiki phenomenon.

The Reiki Master Manual practitioner is introduced to a fourth sacred symbol - the Master symbol, and is instructed in its uses, including its significance in the Attunement process.

While many people will choose to progress to Level 2 (- with its deeper energy connection and expanded healing techniques -) and eventually to Level 3 (the Master/Teaching Level), Reiki Level I training will provide all the basic awareness required to practice this special therapeutic art - primarily for self-healing, and also for treating others - family, friends, pets - even household plants.

For those attuned to it, and followed the Reiki Master Manual, the energy healing method that is called Reiki can, amongst other things, be utilized as a form of body-centred meditation. It can also, especially at the higher levels, prove an invaluable tool for spiritual growth, having a subtle yet profound effect on ones personal development.
