Reiki unfolds in stages – each with its own depth, symbolism, and experience. From the first attunement that opens the flow to the master and teacher path: every step invites you to grow, to listen, and to live Reiki more fully.
Explore the Reiki degreesShoden, the “first teaching”, is a gentle homecoming. During the attunement your energy channel is opened so Reiki can flow through your hands. You learn to lay on hands mindfully, to listen to your body, and to give yourself space to heal.
Reiki I is devoted to self-healing and grounding. Daily self-treatments bring calm, centring, and trust. Many people feel more clarity, better sleep, and a quiet joy after the first degree – often the beginning of a lifelong practice.
Okuden, the “inner teachings”, introduces three sacred symbols. They anchor strength, harmony, and timelessness in your practice. With them you can send Reiki across distance, harmonise mental patterns, and support emotional balance.
Reiki II expands your intuitive sensitivity. Topics from the heart may surface, not to overwhelm you, but to be held and released with compassion. Your connection to your inner guidance becomes clearer.
Shinpiden, the “mystery teachings”, brings the master symbol – a key to your own essence. The focus is no longer on techniques but on being Reiki: embodying compassion, presence, and inner strength in daily life.
Reiki III invites you to integrate all levels – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. Many people feel a profound shift: more trust in their path, a deeper sense of purpose, and readiness to serve.
The teacher level is a calling to accompany others. You learn to give attunements, to guide courses, and to hold space with compassion. Teaching Reiki is service: offering your experience so others can awaken their own light.
