Reiki Level 1 and 2 & Emotional Processing

Reiki, an ancient Japanese energy healing modality, has gained immense popularity for its ability to promote parasympathetic nervous system relaxation, reduce stress, and restore a sense of calm. If you’re considering embarking on a reiki journey, this blog post will guide you through what to expect from Reiki Level 1 training and attunement.

The first level is designed for self-healing. This training will provide you with the tools to perform reiki healing on yourself. It will also allow you to provide reiki healing for others.

This second level of reiki training will allow to perform reiki healing on others from a distance. You’ll gain advanced techniques and symbols for healing yourself and others. This will unlock a deeper level of healing related to the mental and emotional body.

In the third level, you will gain the tools to work with challenging energetic disturbances. This is an advanced level of reiki training, sometimes called the master level.

This step will allow for the final attunement process that allows you to become a reiki master. You will also learn how to provide attunements to others, becoming part of the ancient reiki lineage. Each step in the process includes a reiki attunement and the transmission of new reiki symbols. You will learn how to draw new symbols and each symbol will also be imparted onto you energetically.

Golden Light Work consists of easily practiced meditations that teach us how to still and focus the mind in order to embody the Truth of our Sacred, Divine Self and experience the truth of who we truly are.

Golden Light Meditation gently trains the mind to be focused and steady, creating peace for the generally troubled mind. Unlike most meditation techniques that have a tendency to train the mind to go up and out of the body in search of spirit, the Golden Light Meditation develops one’s feeling nature and creates the mystical marriage of higher soul consciousness within the body with effortless ease.

What keeps us trapped in the world, believing things are happening to us and we are the victims, is that the mind has become programmed by society with limiting subconscious beliefs that create pain, suffering, addictions, and disease. Without the understanding that we create all aspects of our life, we are not free. We believe that things happen to us. When we release the subconscious programs from parents, culture, and society we become a true creator of our reality.

My interest in metaphysics began at a young age following a near-death experience at age nine, which led me to become a Seeker After Truth. Over the next 30 years, I studied and practiced Biofeedback, Sant Mat (Study of the Masters of the East), Shamanism, Golden Light Meditation/Emotional Processing, Sweat Lodge Ceremonies, therapy, rebirthing, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

An accident in Baja, Mexico prompted me to question how I could help heal others and myself. I wondered how Master Jesus, Buddha, and many other Masters healed.

I had been initiated into Surat Shabd Yoga (Sant Mat) and studied with Guru Sant Thakar Singh Ji for 11 years, experiencing many incredible moments during that time. One morning, I woke up from a vivid dream, curious about the word "Reiki."

The concept that the ability to perform Reiki is transferred to the student, rather than developed by the student, intrigued me. This was different from my journey in Sant Mat. However, I was skeptical. I questioned whether the attunement had any real energetic effect or if it was merely an empty ritual that granted people permission to use an inherent healing ability.

At that time, I discovered that Reiki initiation was very expensive—around ten thousand dollars—which I couldn't afford. Eventually, I found a teacher in San Diego who agreed to teach Reiki for a lower fee if I organized a group of students. I gathered several doctors and nurses from our neighborhood at the Dansbach Clinic.

During the attunement, I felt energy entering my crown chakra and traveling down to the root chakra. Then, I sensed energy pushing out from my heart chakra, and I could see small glowing chunks being expelled. I felt that the heart chakra was opening and a block was being released. This experience confirmed to me that Reiki was real and that I had discovered something very special.

Reiki and Emotional Energy work connect us more strongly to the Source, providing clearer guidance. Realizing this, I began to take my life more seriously and decided to focus on pursuing my spiritual purpose with the help of Reiki. I started each day with a prayer, “Guide me and heal me so that I might be of greater service to others.”

My teaching practice developed quickly. While teaching my first class in another town, I suddenly realized that I was living my dream: I was a workshop leader, traveling and teaching. I was overwhelmed with joy!

Looking back, I saw that from the moment I was initiated into Reiki, I had been guided step by step to become a Reiki teacher, even though I had thought it wasn’t part of my spiritual path.

After I became a Reiki teacher and accepted that my spiritual path belonged in the United States, my life began to improve steadily.

Reiki, meaning “universal life energy,” is a spiritual practice that involves the transfer of healing energy through the hands of the reiki practitioner. This profound technique can bring about physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being by clearing energetic blockages and enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

Reiki Level 1 training and attunement serves as the foundational step for individuals interested in becoming reiki practitioners. The training introduces the principles, history, and fundamentals of reiki energy healing.

Additionally, you’ll receive a powerful attunement from a reiki master, aligning your energy channels and connecting you to the universal reiki energy (more on this in a moment).

During the training, you’ll delve into the history and origins of reiki, discovering its roots in ancient healing practices. You’ll also explore the principles of reiki, which provide guidelines for leading a balanced and compassionate life. These principles include mindfulness, gratitude, and authenticity.

To effectively work with reiki energy, understanding the human energy system is crucial. You training will likely cover the chakra system, which are the body’s energy centers that are connected to various aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This knowledge may enable you to identify imbalances and address them using reiki energy.

A significant highlight of reiki level 1 training is the attunements. These sacred ceremonies, conducted by the reiki master, open and align your chakras to the reiki energy. Through this process, your ability to channel and transmit healing energy to yourself and others is enhanced, creating a profound transformation within you.

Learning Self-Healing Techniques: Level 1 reiki training focuses on developing the ability to practice reiki on yourself. You’ll learn various hand positions to place on your body, facilitating the flow of energy and promoting healing. Self-healing with reiki serves as a powerful tool for relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being.

While self-healing is the primary focus of level 1, you’ll also have the opportunity to practice reiki on others. This hands-on experience helps you develop sensitivity to energy and understand the giving and receiving of reiki healing. Techniques for offering reiki treatments to friends, family, and pets will be taught, broadening your ability to share the healing energy.

A reiki attunement is a set of exercises that can only be performed by a trained reiki master. It is a form of energy exchange that allows a student to become attuned to healing reiki energy. Reiki attunement is a ceremony that allows a practitioner to impart reiki healing symbols onto their student.

The reiki attunement process is not something that happens in one day. Although your training will likely occur over the course of a day or weekend, your attunement will have lasting effects. In fact, I was told to expect shifts for 21 days following attunement.

• If possible, abstain from using substances (like drugs and alcohol).
• Avoid excess stimulation such as disturbing movies, books, or news sources.
• Try to limit social media use.
• Journal to set intentions for your reiki journey.
• It may be helpful to receive a reiki healing.
• Drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest.
• It might be helpful to develop a daily mindfulness practice.
• Practice developing awareness around the chakra centers.
• Read about and become familiar with the chakras, if you are not already.
• You may want to invest in a pendulum.
• The day of your reiki level 1 attunement:
• Be sure you’re well-rested.
• Wear comfortable clothing.
• You may want to wear or bring a crystal to infuse with reiki energy.
• Drink plenty of water before and after your attunement.
• Write down your insights or experiences.
• Remain open to any experiences (including the possibility you may not have an unusual experience).

• The month after your reiki level 1 training and attunement:
• Keep a journal beside your bed for the month following your reiki attunement to write down your dreams.
• Pay attention to unusual animal activity (signs of animal guides).
• Practice grounding and meditation.
• It may be helpful to seek therapy if a healing crisis occurs.
• Practice rituals to assist in the letting go process.
• Return to the intentions you set before your reiki training.
• Review the reiki precepts daily.
• Practice reiki self-healing daily.
• Meditate on your reiki symbols (you can also practice drawing them).
• Remain open to new experiences and insights.
• Practice mindful non-attachment (this too shall pass).

Embarking on reiki level 1 training and attunement is a transformative journey that introduces you to the profound nature of energy healing. Through learning the history, principles, and techniques of reiki, and experiencing attunements and hands-on practice, you’ll become a container for healing energy. This transformational journey will allow you to facilitate positive changes in yourself and others.
