The Levels of ReikiThe Levels of Reiki

Level 1
The Gate

S1The seminar introducing how to use the healing life energy Reiki is called “The Gate”. It opens the way into the “Land of Reiki”. The first steps into that land are made together in a group and with the teaching Master.

People come to Reiki for different reasons. Sometimes, it is curiosity of what others saying to be so radiant. Often it is a desire to heal a specific problem of ones own or of family members or friends – a problem of physical or psychological nature. Another frequent reason to participate in Reiki level 1 is the hope to reach inner harmony and stability. Eventually, some people crossing the Gate of Reiki with the desire to grow spiritually.

In order to meet all these initial situations, the seminar includes

Initiation: individual initiation


Reiki Level 2
Chakra and Aura

The MIKAO USUI SCHOOL is especially concerned with Reiki level 2:

I. Our physical and psychological health is determined directly and effectively by the energetic layers of our bodies. The etheric body and its chakras have extraordinary meaning in this context. Therefore, it is essential to acquire solid knowledge on interactions between our body layers, which we can apply with the help of useful methods.

II. At this level we present a fundamental and coherent spiritual view of the world. We will experience this world view at the level and in the contextual interplay of aura, chakras and the system of endocrine glands, we will also understand its meaning and will use it for the purpose of treatment. To make it possible we have a choice of several specially created ways of approach.

III. Our steps of spiritual growth, all stages of broadening our consciousness to which we are able to achieve, are connected directly to development, condition and abilities of functioning of our layers of the body, especially our chakras. The basic aim of this Reiki level is to make this understandable in a vivid way and use it in effective treatments.

Reiki Level 2 is the methodical and content foundation of Reiki level 8 “Spiritual aspects of Reiki”

Initiation form: group initiation

Level 3
Grounding –permeability - flowing

The Reiki level system with its level 3 supports in an extraordinary way processes of gaining power over ones own physical and subtle layers of the body. Purposely a system of Reiki initiations with its transforming strength, which has been developed by Seimo, is used to basically optimize the energy flow through our total energetic system. The system is becoming more sensitive, permeable and stronger. Hindrances and blockages in ones own body energy flow will be removed and connections between the individual and the Reiki plane, as well as to its soul will be reinforced and developed. Finally, our system opens up intensively to pure energies of the Earth. The Reiki level 3 enables us to obtain a flowing balance enhancing our stability and endurance. It also increases ones reservoir of strength, enlarges the capacities and fundamentally reinforces recovery.

Simultaneously, with this special system of initiation, methodical steps are conveyed allowing participants to support their stream of energies by new and solid methods upon completion of this seminar.

As an example, we like to mention just few health problems which can be treated with Reiki level 3, such as: circulation problems, hypertension, difficult periods, flat feet, varicose vein, disharmony in   female and male parts of the personality.

Level 4
Time and Space

If our view of the world, its construction and functional relations were useful and complete, we would be able to develop treatment methods for all aspects of our life. However, our worldview is not sufficient. Because of its incompleteness, it is inappropriate in many respects.

Once you had decided to have Reiki initiation and you were ready to accept a fuller perception of the world. You learned how to use a healing energy, for which common ideas are insufficient, an energy, which should not exist due to the rules of common logic. Nevertheless, this energy exists and provides its beneficial effects for everyone who wants to receive it.

The Reiki level 4 makes the common view of the world even more imperfect. It enables us to participate in the relativity of time and space. Instruments of Reiki level 4 allow the past, present and future become what they actually are: a continuum in which we are moving and which we are able to act on for the highest good of healing. Space and distance are without importance for the use of Reiki. Regardless the distance, two blocks away, Africa or Australia - Reiki unfolds its effects without any delay. Emotional and mental relations between people or man and animal, working situations and many more are open to this new exciting method of healing.

In areas where our common thinking is not able to provide answers, the Reiki level 4 enables practical experience of the new reality and based on this it brings about an appropriate and necessary broadening of our way of thinking. The world is now perceived in an extent, diversity and depth that is inconceivable, but so normal. This reality has always existed but man couldn’t see it and refused to see it. Now you can experience it and apply it for the purpose of healing to yourself, others and the entire planet.

Level 5
The Unconscious

When we hear the concept “Unconscious” we know that it describes all parts which are dormant within us and which we are not aware of; parts, which are functioning beyond our control. Accepting of unconscious as a reality means to recognize that we are not our own masters.

The Reiki level 5 of The MIKAO USUI SCHOOL enables us to have direct access to subconscious field of our psyche through initiation, symbols and appropriate methods. The inner perception (inner vision and feelings) is reinforced energetically and methodically refined. The communication with unconscious parts is clearer and enables their positive transformation and integration into consciousness. This way our conscious can extend its leading part in our life.

The diagnostic skills are increased and diagnostic instruments are definitely broadened. All doors become open to effective work with affirmations that – based on a specific Reiki method - can give positive results within a very short time.

The level 5 with its instruments has an exceptional meaning for the next Levels, from 6 to 8. Therefore, it is also required for them.

Level 6
Chakra communication:
Sources of strength

The wisdom of shaman, recognition of esoteric studies and the consciousness expanding way of psychology, all of them meet at the Reiki level 6

Let Reiki to lead you with its healing and spiritual transformation potential and experience new, unexpected landscapes of your Soul

At the level 6 you enter into vivid contact with your chakras, the reservoir of your physical body and the instances, which directly determine your way of thinking, feeling and acting, your whole physical existence. You talk to the guardians of these sources of strength, you see them and learn from them what they need from you, for to properly fulfill their tasks. You also learn from them what they can offer to you, so that you will be able to shape your life in physical and psychological health and follow your own spiritual path.

Level 7
Aura communication

S7The seminar for advanced “Aura Communication” provides us with a new Reiki instrument to work on all layers of the body including the physical one. We will be able to initiate basic deep transforming healing processes and finalize them. Healing insight into the past of our life enables us to free ourselves from old ballast of hindering and diseases causing experiences and energetic patterns as well. Strong accelerating impulses of Reiki will bring us closer to physical, emotional and mental health supporting development of our consciousness. We will move forward at a good speed on the way to a strengthened physical and psychological integrated personality.

Requirement is the participation in the Level 5 seminar of The MIKAO USUI SCHOOL

Level 8
Spiritual Aspects of Reiki

S8This level connects us purposely with the spiritual potential of Reiki through specific exercises, treatments, meditations and talks. The melting pot of regular group work is supplemented by exercises and Reiki treatment performed by participants at their home between the meetings. This way we build a strong and cohesive energy field of Reiki as the basis for our spiritual growth. In addition, we acquire specific, esoteric knowledge, which is ideal for our Reiki activities, and at the same time through them the energy is proven to be a real one.

For those interested, after completion of level 8 we offer to participate for an unlimited time in a continuation group. The aim of this group is to lead each participant, under direction of the Master, to his optimal spiritual growth.
