Reiki has three formal degrees of initiation, training and practice that are independent in their application and yet build on each level for enhanced growth and mastery. To become a professionally trained Reiki practitioner and/or master teacher, one must receive the appropriate 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree `attunements', class instruction, training, practice and certification by a certified Reiki master/teacher.
First degree Reiki attunements and instruction focus on consciously raising and aligning the individual's vibrational frequency to the vibrational rhythm of the Universe, resulting in a consistent flowing channel of healing energy. This spiralling energy force can be experienced as a powerful self-cleansing, purifying, transforming and healing tool.
Second degree Reiki attunements raise the individual's vibration and intensify the healing and transformational process. Initiates are instructed in the sacred knowledge, power and usage of Reiki symbols along with focussed concentration exercises to stimulate the development of the intuitive centre located in the pituitary gland (the third eye), which acts as a sending and receiving station for mental vibrations.
Third degree Reiki initiates to receive from the master the symbol, which connects to the 5th dimension penetrating the seven human layers, the spiritual principles for self-mastery and the Reiki teacher.
How does Reiki heal?
 The human being is a finely tuned organism of subtle energy that flows freely through its mental, physical, and spiritual body and, when unconfined, sustains life and promotes health.
Continued stress in the form of negative thought patterns, unresolved trauma, fear, worry, anxiety and anger block the flow of energy and impede the body's natural ability to heal itself. This causes disease within the physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual body. Reiki loosens that blocked energy, cleanses the body of built up toxins, relieves pain. It also eases stress, shock and trauma by calming the mind and emotions. Reiki restores vitality and balances the flow of energy while accelerating the body's natural ability to heal itself and promotes a state of total relaxation and well being. Reiki always increases one's energy and leaves one surrounded with a feeling of wellbeing.
