What do you think makes a powerful Reiki Master Manual?
The Reiki Master Manual will explain first, that Reiki is a form of complementary medicine, which reduces stress and strengthens the immune system, through enhancing the body’s self healing mechanism and restoring vitality.
You will also explore that Reiki can be effectively applied with other therapies, and is very effective to stimulate relaxation and recovery.
Rather than acting solely on a physical level, Reiki is holistic in its effect – eliciting a healing response across the entire spectrum of ones being – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
It can prove beneficial in the resolving of physical disorders, nervous conditions and emotional issues, and help nurture a greater sense of balance, well-being, and wholeness in ones life.
The gentle Reiki phenomenon has no negative side effects, and does not require any concentration on the part of the client.
The complete Reiki Master Manual contains 3 main parts:
- Level Reiki 1 – Level Reiki 2 – - Level Reiki 3 (Master Level)
Reiki Master Manual 1
What means Level 1 Reiki?
At Level 1, the Initiation Reiki Master Attunement opens the student to the flow of Reiki (some would say:opens them to the awareness of the flow of Reiki).
Traditionally, in Usui Reiki, the student of Level 1 Reiki is focused on hands-on therapy at a purely physical level either for self-treatment or for treating others.
However, the inner focus of Level 1 is about learning to become a clear channel for Reiki.
It is about learning to let go and let the energy flow – about learning to step out of the way – learning to override the desire of ones conscious mind to interfere in the therapeutic process, and instead, simply let the Reiki phenomenon ‘happen’.
The attitude should be almost Zen-like, compassionate, and as detached as possible. You have to learn sitting quietly, ‘no-doing’, not seeking after outcomes, Reiki just flows. If healing happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t – either way it’s no concern of yours.
Developing this attitude early on will greatly enhance the quality of ones journey with Reiki.
Reiki Master Manual 2
What does Level 2 Reiki mean?
Where Level 1 opens the student to the awareness of the flow of Reiki, the Level 2 Initiation/ Reiki Master Attunement deepens the quality of that flow.
Having developed the attitude of ‘compassionate detachment from outcomes’ at level 1, the Level 2 student is provided with a set of symbolic tools enabling them to ‘set’ intentions – and broaden the scope of their therapeutic interventions.
Within the Level 2 training manual, the student is introduced to a set of three sacred Reiki Master symbols, and is instructed in their use as a means of:
- enhancing the effectiveness of physical level treatment – carrying out treatment at deeper psycho-emotional levels – performing distant or remote treatments – for people not physically present.
Reiki Master Manual 3
What is Reiki Level 3 ? Reiki Level 3 is commonly referred to as the ‘Master’ level, but can be more properly seen as the ‘Teacher’ level. The level represents the ability at which the practitioner will manifest the Initiation/Reiki Master Attunements to others.
This level’s Attunement brings a greater deepening of connection to the Reiki phenomenon.
The student of the Reiki Master Manual and Reiki practitioner is introduced to a fourth sacred symbol, which is the the Master symbol, and is instructed in its uses, including its significance in the Attunement process.
A complete Reiki Master Manual should include all levels including the symbols. However, Reiki Level I training will provide all the basic awareness required to practice this special therapeutic art – primarily for self-healing, and also for treating others – family, friends, pets – even household plants. Level 2 will deepen level 1 and level 3 will enable you to teach others.
For those attuned to it, and followed the Reiki Master Manual, the energy healing method that is called Reiki can, amongst other things, be utilized as a form of body-centred meditation. It can also, especially at the higher levels, prove an invaluable tool for spiritual growth, having a subtle yet profound effect on ones personal development.
