[email protected] SOULSTAR REIKI PAGES This is intended to be a simple practical manual for Usui Reiki. level three No manual will ever be complete. There is always more to learn. This manual is all on one page to make it easier to print or save even though that makes it rather large My main intention is to have the manual I use in class available on the internet for the benefit of my students and for Reiki Masters who have received remote attunement and for others who might find value in it. Traditionally many Reiki Masters hold that the symbols are sacred or secret and should not be shown to people who are not first attuned to the appropriate level. I respect them and the tradition of secrecy but feel strongly that I must have the symbols in the manual for maximum helpfulness . I was familiar with most of the symbols in a Buddhist context prior to receiving Reiki . Should You not wish to see them do not continue to read this manual . The symbols cannot be used to http://www.solarraven.com/ReikiMaster.html (1 of 49)6/19/2004 12:59:38 PM

Usui Reiki Master Manual by Peggy Jentoft There also is often some discussion and teaching about ethical spiritual and social issues that might concern to Reiki Masters. The Class will also address some of the the practical methods of teaching Reiki to others, and some thoughts about manual writing and class organization. When This class is completed and after the attunement has been received the student will be a Reiki Master and teacher and will be able to pass Reiki Attunement for all levels of Reiki using either ritual methods or the direct intention transmission of the Reiki attunement. Some masters will only teach those people who are willing and able to completely dedicate their lives to Reiki. I feel that Reiki and other energy work systems should be widely available to people who sincerely wish to learn to use them. Many Reiki practitioners want to take the Master level to complete their Reiki training. There is no way to complete your spiritual development and personal evolution. This is an ongoing process . This is a new beginning for sharing Reiki with others and for opportunities to enhance your own development. Naturally some of the material in this manual should be familiar to the Reiki Master candidate from their previous study of Reiki . This manual has the Dual purpose of teaching the Master student the material they need to know in becoming a Reiki Master and reviewing and presenting information and procedures to be taught to their students. Being A Reiki Master does not mean you are better or wiser or more enlightened than anyone else it just means that you are able to transfer the ability to transmit Reiki attunement to others. I feel that a Reiki Master should make an effort to live in an ethical way and to be responsible for their actions and intentions . This manual includes traditional Usui Reiki, attunement and the knowledge to pass them to others. I emphasize that strongly because due to Reiki variants with differing numbers of attunements there is occasionally some confusion about what is to be taught in a particular class . Some teachers teach a Reiki 3a or personal Master level between Reiki 2 and the teaching level . Some of these classes only teach the use of the empowerment symbol for personal use and healing and others will teach a number of nontraditional techniques but 3a usually does not teach how to pass attunements for all levels or how to teach a class . This may seem like just a way to get more money out of a student. I usually just teach the complete system in three levels. Some people do http://www.solarraven.com/ReikiMaster.html (3 of 49)6/19/2004 12:59:38 PM
Usui Reiki Master Manual by Peggy Jentoft wish to have the use of the empowerment function in healing without wanting to teach others usually because of a specific healing need among their family and loved ones or they may want an intermediate stage between Reiki two and Reiki Master teacher before they decide if they wish to practice as a Reiki Master . Some nontraditional elements that are often added in three a classes might include meditation techniques, a Healing Attunement, the Hui Yin, the Violet Breath, Psychic Surgery, Reiki Crystal Grids a Meet your Reiki Guide Meditation, some of these are touched on in the Reiki two manual that is included with this Master training The reality is that most "3a Master Practitioners" are Reiki Masters who simply have not been taught an Attunement Process. About Symbols There are at least three fundamentally different types of symbols and beliefs regarding the nature of symbolic forms. The first kind of symbol is those in which the power or ability to create effect is inherent in the form of the symbol. Those used in sacred geometry or the tattwas and to a certain extent Yantra Mandalas are among those in which the actual shape or form is said to directly stimulate the subconscious energy patterns in the brain and energy body or physical and nonphysical reality. These symbols are said to contain the power to waken an ability or create a result or convey mystical information and realization of themselves with no or little action or intention by anyone . The second belief is that objects and symbols can be something that is charged or empowered by intention or ritual or proximity to holy places or people to contain the power to create an effect. The last kind of symbol is those that are tools or triggers which enable you to connect with and use a spiritual function, information, energy and so forth, that exists separate from the symbol itself. The symbol is more like an on button the power is in what the symbols represent rather than having any power of its own. These viewpoints are not really mutually exclusive they are just different ways of looking at things. Some people in the United states have considered and taught that the Reiki symbols and their names or mantra themselves inherently contained the power and were sacred and secret not to be revealed to anyone who was not an initiate. Most of the Symbols used in Reiki are Kanji that is written words which have esoteric symbolic meanings in some Buddhist traditions. I have always felt that the Reiki symbols were primarily of the third kind. They are tools to facilitate connecting with aspects of the universal energy for healing. They do not themselves have power. http://www.solarraven.com/ReikiMaster.html (4 of 49)6/19/2004 12:59:38 PM
