The first degree has four attunements – the history and the mythos, hand positions and channeling reiki energy for self healing as well applying healing to others as well. The second degree is inclusive of more attunements like sacred symbols, distance, absentee healing and healing emotional and mental disorders. The fourth sacred symbol is taught and technique for the initiation and channeling more energy. Raku kei reiki: It is also known as the way of the fire dragon.

Tera Mai or Tera Mei Seichem: This is a subsidiary branch of Raku Kei reiki with few changes including energy activation of Sakara.
