[email protected] This is a simple practical manual for Usui Reiki. level two 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 that I use in personal classes available on the internet for the benefit of my students and for others who might find value in it. I was a pioneer in remote attunement and therefore feel a responsiblity to provide information for Reiki students who may not have had an opportunity to receive detailed training. Traditionally many Reiki Masters hold that the symbols are sacred or secret and should not be shown to people who are not attuned to level two 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 .The symbols cannot be used to connect with the Reiki energy and functions unless a person has been attuned to Reiki. Should You not wish to see them do not continue to read this manual .

Reiki two practitioners also have more tools for working with other people and for the world community. Just for today, I will not anger, I will not worry, I will do my work honestly will be kind to all people and I will be appreciative of my many blessings . This is a version of the Meiji Emperor's precepts which were adopted by Usui Sensei and are known as the Reiki principles. Usui Sensei hoped that all Reiki practitioners would spend a few moments each morning and evening to reflect on these precepts. People who do this may find that it becomes easier to live up to them and have a happier more balanced life . http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (2 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM
Reiki two manual all on one page Ethics Because of the nature of remote healing and mental emotional healing work and the fact that practitioners may find themselves developing more control of energy and their personal will there is a need for more emphasis on ethical issues than there was in the first degree of Reiki. Obtain permission before treating anyone . Some teachers feel that you must always have specific permission from the individual before treating. Other teachers feel that when it is impossible to obtain permission you may send the treatment as an offer which the intended recipient is free to accept or refuse. You can usually tell after a while if energy is accepted or refused. I do not feel that it is compassionate to absolutely refuse to offer treatment if specific permission is unobtainable . You would not allow someone to bleed to death at the scene of an accident if you had the power to assist them even if they were not able to give permission would you? Never attempt to Force healing on anyone. You are not the one who is to decide what is in the best interest of another. It can be a temptation particularly when dealing with addictions to attempt to impose your will on another. Never promise a healing or cure this is not in your control People have the right to choose whether or not to accept healing even someone who comes to you for treatment may refuse to accept healing energy . Never Diagnose, do not give medical instructions and never suggest that anyone discontinue medications or other treatment. Respect your client's confidentiality. Do not repeat anything you learn during a treatment either from the client or from your intuitive perceptions . When using examples and case histories make sure that the parties involved can not be identified . Being a Reiki Practitioner does not give you any particular spiritual merit. People might on occasion try to make you a Guru. You might even get over impressed with yourself but remember that when you see dramatic effects from treatment it is not because of your personal merit its because of Reiki . Energy should not be directed indiscriminately. Send energy for the highest good of all concerned. Allow it to be used by the high self of the recipient for their greatest good. When directing energy, ask the person first if they want a treatment or go within and ask their higher self. Use your intuition. If the Reiki is not accepted by the recipient it will return to you. Some people send Reiki while holding an intention that if the intended recipient wants it they can invite it in at the time convenient to them and it will be there for that person .Never assume that another http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (3 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM
Reiki two manual all on one page being wishes to be healed, even if they say that they do. Don't intend to heal a person; just allow the energy to work. Don't judge the effectiveness, the energy is working. Results may not be obvious immediately. Reiki energy continues to work long after the actual treatment is finished. Honor the energy, yourself , the intention and the recipient for the work performed. Where awareness is focused, energy is concentrated . About Symbols There are three kinds of symbols or viewpoints about symbols that are used in healing, meditation and for spiritual, mental and emotional development. One view is that with symbols like the forms used in sacred geometry or the tattwas and Yantra Mandalas the actual shape or form is said to contain the power to waken an ability or create a result or convey mystical information and realization itself. Another possibility is that symbols acquire power by being charged with the intention of people or from being in proximity to spiritual ability or teachers or places . The last kind of symbol or view of symbols is that they are tools or triggers that enable you to connect with and use a spiritual function, information, 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 taught that the Reiki symbols and their names or mantra themselves had the power and were sacred and secret not to be revealed to anyone who was not an initiate. I (the author) was already familiar with three of the four symbols and mantra as shortcut Buddhist terms for certain concepts and had seen two of them used carved on temple walls and embroidered on dance clothing and as good luck charms so I was not surprised when it was confirmed that the symbols used in Reiki are mostly of the second and third kind. Symbols are a tool to help you connect with and focus and use the Reiki energy. You may not need to consciously use them when you are more experienced . In the beginning it is quite sensible to use them, in time you may just tune in to the Reiki functions. On the other hand many people do always use the symbols every time they use Reiki neither way is better than the other way . In the Reiki symbols, the intent and the active force coincide, not in the air or on paper, but in your heart, soul, mind, spirit. If the intent isn't there, you might just as well not draw anything. Contrary to the popular story of symbols appearing in bubbles Usui Sensei apparently may have started teaching his Reiki without them and later introduced the symbols to help provide focus for people who http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (4 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM
