Level 2 Reiki Training Online (Tuesday Evening Session)

Reiki is a healing art and spiritual practice beloved by millions of people around the world. The word Reiki can be translated as “universal energy,” “mysterious presence,” “spiritual power,” or even “the energy of the universe.” It is a simple and profound method that brings body, mind, and spirit into balance with ease. Practitioners receive empowerments called reiju (also called initiations or attunements) to become Reiki practitioners.

Okuden, meaning “inner teachings,” is the original name for second-degree Reiki training. The second degree of Reiki expands practitioners’ skills by introducing three sacred symbols and mantras. Second-degree training also includes techniques for powering-up hands-on healing, mental-emotional healing, and absentee healing. Students are guided through a deeper understanding of Reiki practice with even more of the original Japanese techniques and will learn the history and context of the secret teachings of the system of Usui Reiki Ryoho.

Pre-requisites: first-degree (shoden) training in any lineage of Reiki; students from other teachers are welcome

Needed materials: Students will need a copy of Foundations of Reiki Ryoho: A Manual of Shoden and Okuden (Healing Arts Press, 2018) to complete required reading for the course. Discounted copies are available from Nicholas, or you may purchase from your preferred retailer.
