What is Reiki?
Reiki (Ray-Kee) means Universal Life Energy and is the endless source of healing power. Reiki is a Japanese method of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by someone who has been passed this ability during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the studen to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy".
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not.
What does it mean to be Reiki Level 2 Certified?
Reiki has 3 levels: 1, 2 & 3. Reiki level 2 (the subject of this post), is a more advanced level, where the student learns amongst other things, to harness more Reiki energy and distance healing. Essentially a Reiki Level 2 Attunement is a process that attunes you to a higher frequency of Reiki energy, enabling you to channel Reiki energy and use the Reiki 2 symbols and mantras.
