Reiki Level 2 (Okuden) Course

What is Reiki?
Reiki is the intangible energy that permeates all living things and animates life. It is also the name of a Japanese healing art and system for self-realisation founded by Mikao Usui in the 1920’s. It centres on five key elements which aim to soften internal barriers that prevent us from truly experiencing life.

The practice of Reiki is rooted in the belief that life force energy (Reiki) flows through every living being. In humans, emotional and physical imbalances often occur due to a restriction of energy flow. This restriction is caused by a feeling of separation from life -- your body, your sense of self, other people, nature, your purpose and passions.

The system of Reiki helps reconnect us to life by softening the barriers within ourselves (anger, fear, shame, grief, resentment and attachment) that are preventing life from living through us.

When the system of Reiki is practiced consistently, earnestly and with compassion, it can help us become more aware of our interconnection to everything around us.

We begin to engage with life in a more balanced way and our sense of well being improves.

Reiki 2 Okuden
There are 3 levels of Reiki training. In Japanese, the second level is called Okuden meaning, inner or hidden teachings.

It is also known as the practitioner level, as many people who take this level go on to practice Reiki professionally.

However, you don’t have to want to become a Reiki practitioner to take this course. This course is for anyone who has taken Reiki 1 and wants to deepen their understanding of Reiki.

As the meaning of Okuden suggests, this level goes into the hidden.

For me, Okuden is about opening up to the more ethereal aspects of Reiki through reverent listening and sensing.

You’ll be introduced to 3 of the 4 Reiki symbols. These symbols are a tool to help you connect to different energetic qualities of Reiki - Heaven, Oneness and Earth. We'll explore how to work with the symbols through their depictions (drawing /visualising the symbol), sacred phrases (mantra) and kotodama (sequence of sounds/chanting).

You’ll learn how to share Reiki remotely, how to share sessions in a professional environment, intuitive techniques & the essentials to starting a Reiki practice.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE REGISTERING
Students must hold their Reiki 1 certification for a minimum of three months before attending this course. If you’ve taken a Reiki 1 course with another teacher, you’ll be asked to demonstrate your Reiki 1 certificate.

To ensure that all students understand the foundations of Reiki 1 before going on to practice professionally, students will be asked to take and pass a short online quiz before attending this course.

(Don’t worry, it’s not as daunting as it sounds. You’ll be able to take the quiz several times.)
