There are three levels of Reiki and all of them have
their significance.
The
first level of Reiki starts after attunement with
invocation.This level is like learning alphabets. One is required to place
the two palms on the body parts, feel and be aware of them. This level
increases body awareness more than the mind and soul.
A schedule of 21 days’ practice leads to the attainment of
purification and awareness of body-mind functions. Within
3to4 days, the awareness increases and one feels the vibration in the
palms. It is the indication of energy passing through the hands to other
body parts.
The
second level of Reiki practice brings more knowledge and
awareness.
At this level, body consciousness clubbed with mind consciousness
elevates the healing powers of the practitioners. Second-degree Reiki
practitioners can heal themselves besides practicing distance healing.
They also become conscious of the ethereal body surrounding the
physical body. Second-degree practice involves the use of
symbols.
The
third level practice adds more symbols to second degree
symbols and increases the power manifold. It consists of advanced levels
of practice, including Reiki meditation.One who practices the
third level is known as the ‘Master’.
A Reiki master is fluent in all the three levels and is empowered to
attune others into the Reiki fold. During initiation or attunement the
chakras are fine- tuned to receive ‘Ki’ – the universal life force
energy.In due course of time a
master becomes a spiritual ‘guru’.
