Reiki II is the second class in the Usui Reiki curriculum. Upon completion each student will have knowledge of and experience working with Reiki level II symbols. Reiki Symbols are energetic keys used to enhance and access specific energies. The Reiki II symbols enable each practitioner to facilitate healing at the physical, mental, and emotional levels, and conduct distance healing. Class discussion will include working with the energetic body and chakra system, symbol applications, and professional ethics. Students will participate in an attunement ceremony similar to the Reiki I attunement. Each student will participate in hands-on practice using the Reiki II symbols and receive handouts and a certificate.

Completion of Reiki I is a prerequisite. If you'd like to attend Reiki II, but took Reiki I elsewhere, please bring your Reiki I certificate with you. Please also bring the manual you received in your Reiki I class.
