Reiki Shiki Ryoho is an ancient method of self-mastery (or self-growth, if you prefer)
and healing using the chakras (energy centre’s) along with several energy/power
symbols. The symbols are merely, in my opinion, a training guide for new initiates to
get used to using intent and focusing on the different levels/frequencies of energy.
The words “Reiki Shiki Ryoho” (pronounced: Ray-key Shi-key Ro-ho) mean:
‘Reiki’ {Universal Life Energy}
‘Shiki’ {System}
‘Ryoho’ {Method of Healing}
An excerpt from a Japanese dictionary reveals the following about the word “Reiki”:
Reiki Shiki Ryoho is a set of five principles for living (precepts), has three degrees
or levels to learn (some others you may encounter use more), a set of hand positions
for treating yourself and others, and the receiving of an Attunement to connect to the
Reiki energy. An Attunement is a simple ceremony that helps you to reconnect to the
energy that IS Reiki performed by a Reiki teacher or "Master".
In Reiki I, the student learns to use the Reiki and to heal using hands on healing for
themselves and others. Scanning, or Byosen, is not usually taught, but I use it. The
student receives four Attunements.
In Reiki II, the student learns three Reiki symbols and learns distant healing for
those not physically present. The student receives one Attunement.
Reiki III is the Master/Teacher's degree. The student receives one Attunement and
two symbols are taught. The Attunements for Reiki I, Reiki II, and Reiki III (Master)
are also taught. A Master is someone who knows the Reiki system, and has been
trained to teach and Attune others to Reiki.
My recommended learning periods between Reiki levels are:
Level I – 2 months before learning Reiki II
Level II – 4 months before learning Reiki III
Level III – 6 months before teaching Reiki
Remember these are only recommendations, not law. For example, if you feel
proficient with Level II and its symbols after 4 weeks and want to learn Level III
before the recommended 6-month mark, be my guest. Like I said before, these are
only my recommendations, nothing more, nothing less. MsSVig
