Usui Reiki Course Level 2 - Okuden

FAQ’s

Should I only take Level 2 if I want to be a professional Reiki practitioner?

The level 2 course is for anyone who wants to refine and empower the Reiki energy they are channeling and for those who want to try out distant Reiki. It is also the right course if you want to work with Reiki to manifest your dreams as in this level you learn different Reiki manifestation techniques. So you don’t need to have the goal to be a professional Reiki practitioner to benefit from this course.

Can I take this course if I have already taken it before?

It is actually a great idea to re-take the second (and also first) level of Reiki if you have been attuned to Reiki before but have lost touch with your practice. I have had quite a few students who have re-taken both levels as a booster to commit to a regular Reiki practice and to refresh their memory. Since you will be invited into a group of Reiki practitioners, you can find ‘Reiki buddies’ in this group to share Reiki with and practice distant Reiki with each other as well.

How does distant Reiki work?

I must admit, I was quite sceptical at first about distant treatments. My ego was in the way and I just couldn’t imagine how Reiki would flow to a person without me physically interacting with them. That is why I tried it out immediately after my level 2 course and I was blown away. Not only was it as powerful as in-person treatments, the experiences my clients had completely matched what I felt during the session. Reiki flows through time and space. You don’t need a Zoom call or phone call to connect with your client, Reiki does it all on its own. Reiki mainly works with intention (although you need to activate the distant symbol to give distant treatments) and it flows to the person you intend it to flow to. If you are still sceptical, I can recommend to book a distant session and try it out for yourself.

How much time should pass until I take the Master level course?

If you decide that you want to be a professional Reiki practitioner and you want to teach others, you will need to be attuned up to the Master level. I highly recommend waiting for at least a year after your second level. During this time, you should practice in-person and distant treatments regularly and as much as possible. And you should give yourself regular Reiki, as this strengthens your connection to the Reiki source. I personally waited for much longer than a year but I believe that you will notice when you feel rooted enough in your Reiki practice to take this next step.
