When you decide to practice a journey of Reiki practitioner, the chances are low that you know a little about different mastery levels and meanings. In some ways, you can benefit by being open-minded and clear when entering the training room.
Still, you should learn a few things about different levels beforehand, which will help you, determine whether you wish to become a practitioner or not. Although certain components of each level are not standardized approach, meaning each Reiki master comes with a new perspective.
We can differentiate three, while in some cases there are four levels of Reiki training, where each one is centered on a ceremony of empowerment or attunement, education and practice, which is vital to remember. You should enter here to learn more about Reiki healing processes.
You should remember that attunement is what makes Reiki specific and unique from other forms of energy healing and work. This particular ceremony is known as Ray-joo or Reiju in Japanese, which is performed by Reiki master during each level to expand and open the main energy channels of the student’s body, which will allow your energy to flow more freely and deeply.
That way, you can clear the blockages in the body, which will ultimately help you create a significant energy changes within the individual. Most people will undergo an intense period of self-growth after the attunement. You can think of it as a process that will help you transfer energy levels. The master will pass energy to student, who will later use it and possess it
Although it is possible to receive Level 1 and Level 2 training over the course of a few days and specific price tag, depending on the area you reside, you can find that stretched trainings are way better solution especially because you will reach the desired goals and ensure the best perspective. Typically, the Reiki master degree takes months to receive and it is more intensive.
Level 1: First Degree

The initiation into Reiki world happens in the first step, meaning the focus is to understand and open certain energy channels on physical levels. It means practitioner is more likely to connect to the universal life force energy, which flows from the universe through the crown of the head and to your hands and heart.
You should know that Reiki masters are more likely to emphasize self-approach as the goal of the initial levels including encouraging and designating students to focus on practicing on them, which is crucial because it breaks down obstacles.

The Reiki Level 1 requires four separate attunements. Some masters will take advantage of such methods. However, specific masters may offer you Level 1 in a single session. After the first attunement, you will experience physical symptoms of energy in palms including heat, coolness and tingling. You may also experience sadness, exhaustion or anxiety after first attunement.
Due to intensity, some masters recommend at least three weeks or three full months between first and second level attunements, while the process may depend on the person you choose.
Level 2: Second Degree
During the second level, you will obtain skills to practice Reiki on others and open energy channels more comprehensively and thoroughly. You will receive your symbol during the level. We can differentiate five symbols and each one corresponds to a specific form of energy including harmony, power, distance, mastery and completion. You should use them to bring universal energy into everyday lives by using practical manners. At the same time, symbols can help you ensure Reiki over long distances.
Attunement is given in a single process, while the focus is on opening up a heart chakra, which is midpoint between spiritual and physical perspective. During the process, you should close your eyes and look within to feel the process effect on your heart.
We recommend you to take at least six months to a year between Reiki Level 2 Training and master degree, which depends on practitioner.
Level 3: Reiki Master
In most cases, the third degree is a master, while some teachers decide to separate Level 3 from Reiki Master. We are talking about the teacher level, which means that you can attune new practitioners. However, most people receive the master attunement, which features corresponding symbol, meaning you can feel comfortable attuning others.
Becoming a master represents a comprehensive commitment to the practice and some people may feel that considerable time should pass between achieving the second degree and master level.
Since the master level requires wide array of methods, you should meditate on which path is the best for your specific needs and spend time considering your approach before becoming master. Reiki levels will offer you a general organization of progression.
