Reiki Level 2 Attunement

Laura Warnke — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 05:01:04 +0000

A synopsis of my recent Level II Reiki Attunement and class. Learn what coursework is involved in taking the Level II Reiki Certification and my thoughts on the course.

My first Reiki attunement was about 10 months ago and it was indeed life changing. It pulled me out of what I would call a situational depression. If your are unfamiliar with what Reiki is please read this post, What is Reiki?

On October 16th, 2010 I received my Level II Reiki Attunement. I signed up for an 8 hour class to be held at a local University. There was only one other student in the class plus the instructor, which was slightly disappointing. I had hoped for a larger class as I was looking forward to a good discussion on Reiki and also others questions and answers.

After introductions, we went into how we had been using Reiki in our daily lives and how it had helped for self healing. We also discussed our expectations for what we wanted from the level II attunement. For myself, I wanted to be able to offer distance healing via this website. My classmate wanted to be able to send distance energy healing to family members.

The Attunement

The second attunement was longer than when I took Level I Reiki. I’m sorry I cannot explain this in more detail, it is just something you have to experience for yourself. I really don’t know how to explain it, but it was wonderful and quite powerful! The end result is that you have a stronger connection to source energy and that can enhance your ability to heal via distances and in person.

Distance Healing

Once you have received the second attunement, you have the ability to send energy healing via a distance. This could be a short distance within the same home, or a long distance like overseas. We learned how to focus and send healing energy to another. Proximity to the person requesting healing is no longer an issue.

Byosen Scanning

One of the main things we learned to do is Byosen Scanning. This can be done with the participant either lying fully clothed on a massage table or standing. You learn to scan the energy field around the person and pick up on hot or cold spots within the energy field. This energy field is about 4-6 inches away from the body.

By slowly moving your hand around the different energy centers and limbs of the body, you can pick up subtle shifts in energy and from that, determine areas in need of healing. It is yet another method of learning to use your intuition, with physical signs that correlate to the intuitive information you are receiving.

It really is amazing, that by carefully paying attention to the hot and cold areas of the body, that you are able to accurately pick up on what areas of their life are in need of healing. If you are interested you can read more about the healing benefits of Reiki.

Master Symbols

We discussed the Reiki distance symbol, the mental/emotional symbol, the power symbol, the Zonar symbol, and the Harth symbol. Each can be used for distance healing and other energy healing purposes. These are sacred Japanese symbols that are only available to those that have taken the Level 2 Reiki training. Level I training does not involve symbols.

Hands on Learning

Since there were only two of us in the class, we had plenty of time to practice the scanning techniques on each other and also the distance energy healing. We spent well over two hours training on the various techniques. We even both picked up the same energy from the instructor.

Reiki Healing Music

This is what I personally use for Reiki healing music. It has a very nice serene sound and the mix is just right. Give it a try. It is wonderful for meditation too.

What about you? What are your experiences with Reiki, either as a practitioner or as someone who has had a Reiki healing session? I would love to hear your thoughts and comments below.

Reiki Healing Music

Laura Warnke — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 02:46:37 +0000

I found this relaxing Reiki healing music on You Tube and thought I would share it with you. It is short, less than 5 minutes long and is perfect for relieving a bit of stress in your day.

Even if you don’t know much about Reiki, you can still benefit from the calming and healing effect it has on your mind and body. Who couldn’t use a relaxation break?

I am currently a Reiki Level I Practitioner. I will be taking the Level II Class this fall. If you want to know more about Reiki, here are a few posts I have written: The Healing Benefits of Reiki, and What is Reiki?.

For me, Reiki has been a wonderful self healing tool that I use almost every day. I thought it appropriate for myself as I will be enjoying a few days off on holiday (we really call it vacation in the States, but I like the term holiday better).

Time for a bit of rest, relaxation, calm and rejuvenation. Even if you are not going on holiday soon, take 5 minutes and you will be amazed at how calm you will feel.

Please enjoy and feel free to leave a comment below.

Spiritual Networks – Social Networking for Spiritual People

Spiritual Networks – Social Networking for Spiritual People is a website dedicated to bringing together those who share a spiritual approach to success.

Whether you want to develop relationships with like-minded people to build your spiritual business or just connect with inspiring people, I invite you to check it out for yourself.

I know that there are way too many social networks out there these days, but www.SpiritualNetworks.com is different in that it takes a spiritual approach to networking. It is a place to find an online home full of people who think much the same as you. Yes, there are real human beings there. You are not alone!

You can find a community of people interested in self help, psychic abilities, spiritual awakenings, alternative healing, angels,personal development, and many other similar subjects.

You can advertise your business, write blog posts, share photos or talk via the forums. Registration is free, so go take a look around.

I also want to note that Jason McElhone, Founder of SpiritualNetworks.com is one of the most involved website owners I have seen in a long time. He is an inspiration and always working on something with his site to benefit its members. All he asks is that you get in the game and add some of your own thoughts, via talking to or sharing with others.

I think as someone that follows a spiritual path, it is becoming more and more important to make connections with people who have similar beliefs and values such as your own, but also allows you to grow through new thoughts and ideas.

This site is a chance for you to get to connect with like minded people in the areas of spirituality, psychic abilities, angels, and generally people who follow a spiritual and healing path in life.

Healing Benefits of Reiki

Laura Warnke — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 03:34:28 +0000

The healing benefits of Reiki include reducing stress and tension, boosting the immune system, and aiding emotional problems like depression. Find out what Reiki energy healing can do for you.

For more details on Reiki healing, visit this post on What is Reiki?

A Reiki treatment given by a qualified practitioner is a wonderful stress and tension reducer. Each session lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. You are fully clothed and the session is performed in a relaxed atmosphere. The practitioner uses a series of light pressure hand placements to deliver the universal life force energy where it is most needed in the recipients energy field.

Reducing Stress and Tension

Benefits of Reiki energy healing include stress reduction and relaxation by bringing health and well being to the recipient. A Reiki treatment balances the life force energy present within each one of us and triggers the natural healing abilities of our bodies. It helps to reduce tension felt by the body and also helps relax and clear the mind. Reiki energy relaxes the muscles in your entire body.

Reiki can also be an aid to spiritual and emotional problems by clearing the mind and allowing you to think through your problems in a calm, relaxed manner.

A Complementary Alternative Medicine

Reiki is a natural, holistic healing process. Do not underestimate the power the body has to heal itself, either on its own or as a complementary alternative medicine. Although Reiki is not a substitute for professional medical care, it can be used in conjunction with traditional treatments to help accelerate physical healing of wounds and emotional traumas.

When used for relaxing the body and mind, it can help you keep a more positive outlook and feel stronger. When we are truly relaxed we sleep better and our immune system can then do the job it was intended to do Your physical healing can then be taken to a higher level. There is also the added benefit of helping with your pain tolerance and reducing your physical pain.

This holistic healing energy also works to balance your chakras and auras and bring them back to a natural state of alignment.

My Personal Experiences

For me I have personally seen the benefits of Reiki healing after taking the Reiki Level 1 practitioners course. This level of attunement allows you to give a Reiki treatment to someone else and also perform self treatments. It has helped me immensely with reducing stress, emotional healing and some situational depression issues. The Reiki energy has also helped to heal tooth pain that I have lived with for some time.

Allow your bodies wisdom to assist you in healing your physical and emotional pain. The Reiki healing energy flows to wherever is is needed the most within the body. Reiki is a natural, holistic healing modality that uses the life force energy available to all of us to let us heal ourselves, or act as an aid in traditional medical healing.

What is Reiki?

Laura Warnke — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:51:49 +0000

What is Reiki? Reiki (pronounced ray – key) is a Japanese word meaning ‘Universal Life Energy’. The energy found in all things. It is a form of deep relaxation and stress reduction, which also promotes healing.

At some point, you may have ran across an article on holistic healing or energy healing and found references to Reiki used as an alternative healing therapy. Here is what Wikipedia says about it:

“Reiki is a form of spiritual practice, used as a complementary therapy, proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, which they say will channel “healing energy” (ki). Practitioners state that energy flows through their palms to bring about healing and that the method can be used for self-treatment as well as treatment of others.”

Spiritual Wisdom and Universal Energy

The word “Rei” refers to spiritual wisdom. “Ki” is life energy or the vital life force. All living things have a life energy surrounding us and flowing within us. It relates to our spirituality, thoughts, and emotions.

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki works by clearing each of the chakras, which are your body’s energy portals. These portals can sometimes become clogged when the body is under repeated stresses that it cannot clear the stuck energy on its own. This slows the energy flow in and around the body.

When that happens the energy flow becomes inadequate to clear the negative feelings, thoughts, and emotions from our mind and body. Our “Ki” needs to flow freely in order for our mind and body to remain healthy. When it cannot, our body’s organs start giving us strong signals that something is wrong, in the form of sickness and dis-ease. Reiki helps the energy to flow freely again so the body can repair itself.

Benefits of Reiki

Reiki reduces stress and tension and relaxes the entire body. It can also help boost your immune system and reduce pain. It can help clear emotional blocks and clear your mind along with lifting some forms of depression. Chronic conditions can also be relieved or eliminated with Reiki treatments.

Is Reiki a Religion?

No, there is no particular belief system attached to this process of energy healing, so anyone can benefit from a treatment or learn to give a Reiki treatment. It is open to all who wish to receive healing.

My Experiences

As someone who has recently completed Reiki Level 1 Practitioner Training, I can say that it has been a wonderful self-healing experience, both for my mind and physical body. The ability to use Universal Energy to heal yourself and learn to have that energy pass through you to heal others is something everyone has the ability to learn and experience.

What are your thoughts? I would love to hear about your experiences with this type of healing. Have you had a Reiki session or are you a practitioner? Please leave a comment below.

Attending an Introductory Reiki Seminar

Laura Warnke — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:29:14 +0000

This past weekend I was able to attend a free Reiki introductory seminar given by a local shop that is involved in spiritual healing and holistic wellness. It lasted about one hour. This seminar provided an overview of Reiki energy healing ideas, principles and techniques followed by information on becoming a certified Level 1 Reiki practitioner.

Included in the overview was an explanation of what Reiki was and was not, along with an introduction on how the Reiki energy works and in what types of ways it can aid in healing mind and body along with who can most likely benefit from a full treatment.

One of the things this seminar did for me was alleviate some of my fears and concerns with having a Reiki treatment for myself and also about taking the Level 1 training to become a certified practitioner.

I had read comments on a few websites online where people had become very sick after having a treatment, due to the healing process. I didn’t think I could fit being sick for a week into my schedule!

I was assured that Reiki is a very positive experience and while that possibility does exist in a very small minority, the sheer majority of people having a treatment view the healing as a positive thing, finding themselves happier, calmer, and more relaxed, almost right away or within a day or two.

It was nice to be able to talk to someone one on one who has been through a change of careers. He gave some observations and examples of how most friends and family were very supportive and mostly curious about his new career, but how a good friend of his had quite a difficult time with what he was now doing for a living. They have remained friends through the years though.

I have decided to sign up for the Level 1 training offered in January and begin a new area of my life that I never would have thought I would be taking part in.

If you have a chance, ask around and see if there are any free seminars in your area that you can attend.

Reiki Scan

Laura Warnke — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:45:10 +0000

A Reiki scan is a method to check your energy field before having a full Reiki treatment. It allows the practitioner to determine the areas of your body that may have blocked or unbalanced energies.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to have a complimentary Reiki scan (pronounced Ray-Key). This was offered by IntentionsOnline.com at their store.

This is a preliminary scan that took about 15 minutes. It is used as a diagnostic tool for learning what areas need to be addressed during a Reiki treatment. This was done while I was standing up. The Reiki Master used his hand to scan the left and right sides of my body, keeping his hand about 4 inches away. He then also scanned each of my chakras from the front.

He did note that not all Reiki practitioners do this step. Many do the energy healing session on a person and let the energy flow through and travel throughout the body where it is most needed. It seems to be a matter of how the practitioner was originally trained, as to whether this step is done. He then answered questions I had about what Reiki does and some common misconceptions.

I asked my spirit guides if having a full treatment would be helpful to my well being. They came back with a wholehearted yes! They relayed to me that I would be able to work through many of my areas of stuckness much quicker than on my own.

I will be going for my first Reiki treatment in a few weeks and will post my thoughts on that. I am also going to be attending a free 1 hour seminar this weekend offered by the same place about Reiki in general and also answering questions on becoming a student of Reiki.

Have you had a Reiki Scan or treatment done or are you a practitioner? I would love to hear your thoughts.
