Can I Learn Reiki?
Absolutely! Reiki is a pure form of healing and is not dependent on individual talent. It is taught differently than other healing techniques. It is actually transferred to the student by the Reiki Master / Teacher during an “attunement” process. This process creates a special link between the student and the Reiki source.
THE ATTUNEMENT
Reiki is not taught in the way other healing techniques are taught. It is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master Teacher during an attunement process. This process opens the crown, heart, and palm chakras and creates a special link between the student and the Reiki source.
The Reiki attunement is a powerful spiritual experience. The attunement energies are channeled into the student through the Reiki Master Teacher. The process is guided by the Rei or God consciousness, and adjustments are made to the process depending on the needs of each student. The attunement is also attended by Reiki guides and other spiritual beings who help implement the process. Many report having mystical experiences involving personal messages, healings, visions, and past life experiences.
The attunement can also increase psychic sensitivity. Students often report experiences involving the opening of the third eye, increased intuitive awareness, and other psychic abilities after receiving a Reiki attunement.
Once you have received a Reiki attunement, you will have Reiki for the remainder of your life. It does not wear off, and you can never lose it. While one attunement is all you need for each level to be attuned to that level, additional attunements bring benefits. Experimentation has found that additional attunements of the same level add to the value of that level. These benefits include refinement of the Reiki energy one is channeling, increased strength of the energy, healing of personal problems, clarity of mind, increased psychic sensitivity, and a raised level of consciousness.
The Reiki attunement can start a cleansing process that affects the physical body as well as the mind and emotions. Toxins that have been stored in the body may be released, along with feelings and thought patterns that are no longer useful. Therefore, a process of purification prior to the attunement is recommended to improve the benefit one receives. See below for specific instructions on preparing for an attunement.
In order to improve the results you receive during the attunement, a process of purification is recommended. This will allow the attunement energies to work more efficiently and create greater benefits for you.
The following steps are optional. Follow them if you feel guided to do so.
The Reiki Classes Are Taught at Four Levels:

Karuna Reiki®
Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others, and could also be translated as “compassionate action.” When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings are known as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is extended to others not only out of love but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by prajna or wisdom in order to have the right effect.
Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Thus, your healing is quickened as well.
This class is for anyone who has had Reiki Master training. It is complete with two levels, two attunements, four master symbols, and eight treatment symbols. Some students find it more powerful than Usui Reiki! The energy has a more definite feeling to it. It works on the emotional and spiritual levels and also can help one become more grounded. Those who receive the attunements report experiences with their guides, angels, and higher self and feel the healing presence of other enlightened beings.
A brief description of the four Karuna® I symbol is given here: The first symbol prepares the client for deep healing and is useful with past life issues. It helps release karma and deeply seated issues on the cellular level. The second symbol heals deeply and can be used to break up the negative patterns we unconsciously use to insulate ourselves from the truth, thus shattering delusion and denial. It heals the shadow self. The third symbol fills the person with love and restores balance. The fourth symbol completes the treatment by bringing the client back into the body and grounding. The Karuna II symbols have a higher vibration and are more powerful. They help connect directly with the Higher Self and work on a deeper level. While they have specific purposes discussed in class, the experience of their energy allows intuitive guidance in their use.
Both levels of Karuna Reiki and attunements will be given, as well as instruction and practice on the use of all twelve symbols. You will be able to teach all four levels of Karuna Reiki®, two practitioner levels, and two master levels after taking this class.
Lots of practice time is included for giving treatments, using the symbols, and for learning the attunement processes.
We will also be doing a Reiki meditation to be aware of and heal the Shadow Self, using chanting and toning with Karuna Reiki®.
A certificate and a 45-page manual are included with in-depth descriptions of each symbol and each attunement process.
You will also be offered the opportunity to become a "Registered Karuna Reiki® Master" with The International Center for Reiki Training. You will then be able to use their manuals, and your student certificates will be sent to the Center.
Class manual and certificate included.
The symbols can be used just like other Reiki symbols when giving Reiki treatments. When teaching, you can teach the whole method in one 3-day weekend as described above, as long as your students are already Reiki Masters. Karuna Reiki® can be divided into four levels — two practitioner levels and two Master levels. A requirement for taking any of the Karuna practitioner levels is a certificate as a Reiki Master. Using the Usui master symbol for treatments allows the student to hold more healing energy and thus get greater benefits from the Karuna training. Also, it is important that the student realize that Karuna training is not a substitute for Usui Reiki but the next step after it.
In level one, teach the first four symbols from Karuna I, give the practitioner attunement for them, and give them time to practice their use. In level two, teach the second four symbols from Karuna II, give them attunement, and give them time to practice. If the person is already a Reiki Master, you can go on to level three by giving the Master attunement for Karuna I, showing how to do the attunements for Karuna I, and practicing doing the attunements. In level four, give the Karuna II Master attunement, show how to do the attunements for Karuna II, and then practice doing the attunements.
