REIKI LEVEL 2 - Advanced Reiki Course
Usui System of Natural Healing (Reiki) (Japanese Reiki)
奥伝 | OKUDEN |
At Within The Space, Reiki is taught in the original Japanese tradition, maintaining the advanced techniques and practices that were removed by Western adaptations. These original techniques form an essential part of true Reiki training and cannot be taught meaningfully over a single weekend.
For this reason, the Advanced Level of Okuden (Level II) is divided into two modules - Part 1 and Part 2.
Each part is a self-contained module. Other than for Professional Practice, there is no requirement that students must complete both modules. Each module stands on it's own, designed to deepen a student's understanding of the body, illness and using advanced (more specific) techniques for self-healing and healing of others.
Notably, all the techniques and practices taught in both Part 1 and Part 2 (except one technique) apply equally to a student's self-healing practice as they do to those wishing to offer Reiki to others. Each module provides a complete and valuable extension of a student's healing practice.
To meet the requirements for professional practice and registration with any Reiki association, both Part 1 and Part 2, together with at least six months of ongoing practice, are required. Completion of Part 2 constitutes full Level II Okuden training within the traditional Japanese system.

In addition, you will explore in more depth, the practical aspects of hands-on Reiki and learn various approaches to hand placement when working with others in order to build your confidence when working with others.

A method for the transferal of positive thoughts (a practice for supporting positive change in habits and patterns of thinking).
The detoxification method, which supports the release of toxins from substances such as food, alcohol, or medication (including chemotherapy).
A method for rebalancing and realigning the body’s natural rhythms (particularly beneficial for hormone balance, recovery from illness, support for those with cancer, and adjusting to time changes or jet lag).
