Reiki Level I— Beginning Practitioner Certification

Reiki Level I is the foundational entry point into Reiki, where the student establishes a personal relationship with the practice through initiation, study, and direct experience.

Students receive the traditional Reiki Level I initiations, activating their capacity to work consciously with Reiki energy. Teaching emphasizes Reiki as a practice of healing and awareness, integrated into daily life through presence and self-practice.

Reiki Level I is appropriate for those new to energy work as well as for students seeking a grounded, lineage-based spiritual discipline.

In Reiki Level I, you will:

• Receive the traditional Reiki Level I initiation (comprised of four separate attunements)
   
• Learn how Reiki functions as an energy healing and spiritual practice
   
• Develop awareness of subtle energy, presence, and perception
   
• Learn self-practice, hand positions for healing others, and foundational Reiki applications
   
• Explore the Reiki principles
• Understand the chakra system as it relates to Reiki healing
   

This level emphasizes energetic transmission, inner awareness, and integration over time rather than technique alone.

Reiki Level II deepens the practitioner’s ability to work with Reiki as a focused and intentional healing practice. This level expands energetic capacity and introduces the traditional Reiki symbols, allowing healing to be directed across emotional, mental, and energetic layers, including distance healing.

Training emphasizes responsible use of the symbols, energetic clarity, and continued embodiment of Reiki through disciplined practice.

In Reiki Level II, you will:

• Receive the traditional Reiki Level II initiation (comprised of two separate attunements)
   
• Learn and work with the sacred Reiki symbols
   
• Practice distance Reiki healing
   
• Learn techniques for emotional and mental clearing
   
• Develop intuitive and subtle energetic perception
   
• Deepen your relationship with Reiki as a spiritual practice
   

Reiki Level II is suited for those who wish to offer Reiki more confidently to others, integrate Reiki into an existing healing practice, or continue their personal spiritual development.

Reiki Level III, also known as Reiki Mastership, is a profound initiation into spiritual leadership, teaching, and sacred service. This level is for those who feel called to deepen their relationship with Reiki, embody its principles fully, and—if they choose—transmit Reiki to others.

Students receive the Master-level initiation and learn how to initiate others into all levels of Reiki. 

Reiki Mastership represents a maturation of presence, responsibility, and alignment with the Reiki lineage itself.

This level invites a deeper relationship with oneself, with students, and with Reiki energy.

In Reiki Master Training, you will:

• Receive the Master-level initiation and sacred symbol
   
• Learn how to perform Reiki initiations for Levels I, II, and III
   
• Understand the ethical, energetic, and spiritual responsibilities of teaching Reiki
   
• Deepen your connection to the Reiki lineage and its transmission
   
• Refine your capacity to hold space as a teacher and guide
   
• Integrate advanced Reiki practice into personal and professional life
   

This training is shaped in alignment with the individual student’s path. Some complete Mastership to teach Reiki; others enter it as a deep personal and spiritual initiation.
