REIKI COURSES – Usui Level 1 and 2

Every living organism is powered by a nonphysical, prevalent energy. We’ve known about this
energy for thousands of years and have tried to figure out how to use it to heal and influence our
lives. This energy is known as Ki in Japanese. The Chinese call it Chi, a number of Asian
cultures call it Prana, and the majority of the western world calls it the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.
From the moment we are conceived, we carry this energy in and around our bodies. Science
has proven its existence, and we can now see this energy that encompasses all living things
thanks to Kirlian photography.

Reiki is a two-syllable Japanese word that translates to “universal life force.” Although the
correct Japanese pronunciation is RYE-KEY, it has been shortened to RAY-KEY in the West.
Rei is a Japanese word that means “universal” or “omnipresent” – “present everywhere at the
same time.” Rei, in esoteric terms, means spiritual consciousness, omniscient wisdom from God
or the higher self.

Ki is the nonphysical vitality that gives all living things life. Many cultures recognise the
significance of Ki energy and how it affects our lives and well-being.

Ki energy can be activated for healing purposes. When you are healthy and enthusiastic, the
flow of Ki energy in your body is strong and unimpeded. Life appears to be easier to deal with,
and you appear to be more resistant to illness and disease.

Level 1

Level 1 is an initiation into reiki for practitioners and is open to anyone. Level 1 focuses on
physically opening the energy channels, allowing the practitioner to connect to the universal life

force energy that flows from the cosmos through the crown of the head and down to the heart
and hands. Many reiki masters emphasize self-reiki as the goal of the Level 1 designation,
encouraging students to focus on practicing reiki on themselves and thus overcoming their own
obstacles. The Level 1 course typically includes an overview of the history of reiki.

Level 2

Level 2 teaches students how to perform reiki on others and open energy channels more
deeply. During this level, students will also receive their symbols. Reiki has five symbols, each
of which corresponds to a different energy (power, harmony, distance, mastery, and
completion). Students will be expected to use these symbols to incorporate the universal energy
of reiki into their daily lives in more practical ways. The symbols can also help people send
healing energy over long distances or provide reiki over long distances.
