Levels Of Reiki
We all have a brief idea about what is Reiki, but very few of us actually have some in depth knowledge about it. For a small reminder, Reiki is basically a Japanese technique used for stress reduction and to relax your body. The process of Reiki is mainly conducted by laying your hands on your body causing some energy flow which is the main reason after our life and death. Reiki is a energy providing treatment for rejuvenating our body. Thus basically by relaxing and freeing us from all the tensions and worries Reiki helps us to heal our body and soul.
Technically according to the Usai system, Reiki has been distributed into three basic levels or degrees of energy. But later during the Takata era further smaller branches were created from one of these levels.
Reiki First Level: This first level of Reiki makes the person actually capable to heal others through hands. In this level primarily aims to healing oneself first before you start healing others. But, through the Reiki channels, you can also heal others. The first level includes the proper physical cleansing of the channel where in the channel may suffer from some minor physical discomforts like cold, fever etc. You can attain this attunement at any age but not below 6 years of age and during any time. To achieve this first level attunement, a channel may require just one day. But this will not be all he has to continue to practice it regularly and perhaps may have to be re-attunement later. During this first level, you may feel some changes in your body such as an improved immune system and a healthy body.
Reiki Second Level: The second level of Reiki is a lot stronger and powerful than the first level. This second level of Reiki has the power to heal others not just physically but is capable to treat a patient across a far distance. Sending the power of Reiki to a person across a long distance is just a small part of the whole capability. You can actually send the power to any event or a group of people in an occasion.
In this level, the channel has to undergo emotional healing and might experience mood swings, resurfacing of past memories etc. thus during this process, the unresolved issues of the past are healed and thus cleansed. The best results of practicing Reiki can be achieved if the channel practices Reiki for about 3 months after achieving the first level. Thus, to bring the complete body into a state where you have to undergo minimum cleansing, you have to practice Reiki for a couple of months continuously. At the end of this level, the channel will feel his intuition power developing and also becoming stronger with every practice.
Reiki Third Level: The third level of Reiki can be specifically called as the level of Reiki Master. In this level, the Reiki Master has the capability to teach Reiki to others and also give Reiki attunements to them. This level has been further divided into three further branches namely the Reiki level IIIA, IIIB and IIIC.
Reiki IIIA: This level can be said to be at least ten times more powerful than the earlier levels. In this level, the Master can simply pass out energy to the needy by thoughts alone. During the cleansing process in this level, the channel may experience a number of things. As Reiki is a spiritual healing process which may cause certain weird dreams, glimpses from the past life and also resolve some fears. Any channel who has practiced the second level of Reiki for a minimum of two years is capable to get into the third level. With a regular practice, the channel can pass out energy to any event by just thinking about it. Thus at this level positive energy and positive thinking plays a very important role.
Reiki IIIB: Once the channel has reached this level, he has the ability to teach others upto levels one and two. In this level when the teacher (Grandmaster) feels that the learner (Master) has reached upto a satisfactory mental, emotional and spiritual level, then the teacher can gives mastership further to the student. The time required to achieve this level, is not defined as it is completely dependent on the teacher and the student.
Reiki IIIC: The Reiki IIIC level is the final level in this degree. Any person practicing this level can be said to be the Reiki Grandmaster. The grandmaster can preach any level of Reiki to any of the other learners. The person practicing Reiki at this level has to assist his teacher and also learn from the practices. Also the time taken to pass out this level under a Grandmaster may take any number of days and so it mainly depends on the Grandmaster and the student (Master).
