Suitable for: Level I practitioners who would like to develop a deeper understanding of the power of Reiki within their lives - then this 1-day course is for them.
Program: Okuden is a Japanese word meaning 'inner teachings'. As the word implies a deeper understanding and connection to Usui Mikao’s teachings is achieved during this course. You will also receive the beautiful certificate you can see on the right.
This traditional Japanese branch of Reiki is called Usui Reiki Ryoho.
This level teaches how to connect to Earth and Heaven energy, the first steps to becoming fully integrated with the universe. This is achieved through the practise of shirushi (symbols) and jumon (mantras). It will enable the student to enhance his/her own energy levels and sensitivity. There are many aspects to the shirushi and jumon which include chanting and visualisation techniques. Rather than being external tools - the focus here is on internal use for spiritual development. For more information about this please read the article Breaking The Reiki Code.
The concept of Oneness, understanding that we are One energetically with everything in the universe, is one of the major benefits of working in this manner and is naturally practised in the course. An element of this study of Oneness allows the practitioner to perceive the deeper meanings of distant healing. Additional Japanese Reiki techniques are offered to assist spiritual growth even further.
As awareness grows so does the ability to help others – this is discussed at this level.
After completing Okuden the student is expected to continue with the practicing on oneself and others where possible.
