Reiki Part II — Serve
Reiki is a holistic system of healing that uses natural, universal life energy for the purpose of creating health, well-being and personal, spiritual growth. In this three level system, the second degree of Reiki builds on the personal practice begun in Level I. The students’ connection and understanding of the use of Reiki energy deepens. This Reiki II class is taught in the tradition of Mikao Usui, of Japan, as westernized by Hawayo Takata of Hawaii. A broader knowledge of its history, philosophy, ethical considerations and scope of practice are introduced to students at this level. In classes that teach Reiki, an attunement process is performed for each person wishing to access the energy as a healing modality. It can then be used either as a stand-alone treatment technique or as an adjunct to massage or other bodywork. The second level or degree of Reiki requires one attunement to expand the pathway in the chakra system created by the four attunements received in Reiki I. Students receive their Level II initiation from the Master Level instructor during the Reiki class.
Reiki Level II provides

- Instruction in the use of the third sacred symbol to make transference of Reiki energy possible without touch, otherwise stated as “distance healing”
- Controlled practicum for distance work to a recipient pre-determined by the instructor

Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
Reiki is Wisdom and Truth.
It is the wish of Wakean Tanka, (The Creator), that the light enters the darkness that we may see not only with our two eyes, but the one eye which is of the heart and with which we see and know all that is true and good.
