Reiki Ryoho Okuden Kuki (Level 2 part 2)
In addition to equipping the practitioner with techniques for self-healing and assisting others, this course is part 2 of Okuden, which focuses on more self-help tools as well as those for friends and family. While many Reiki Master/Teachers offer a full set of levels 1 & 2 at once, we believe it's preferable for the student to spend more time working with level 2 in order to become familiar with its energies before attempting additional skills.
Level 2 is the beginning of what many practice as "Medical Reiki" however in Japan it is called Ryoho, Medical Treatment using energy. It includes the ability to treat yourself and others in a variety of ways for relieving pain, increasing health and wellness, balancing the body's energies, etc.
What follows are explanations of the main points taught in this course. The student is given them with the understanding that each will find their way to their own best path for learning Reiki Ryoho at their own pace; what matters most is that they gain sufficient experience in using the Reiki Ryoho techniques they are taught in order to gain an understanding of what level 2 is meant to provide.

My Usui Reiki Lineage
Every Reiki practitioner should be able to trace their lineage back to Usui Sensei. When you learn Reiki your teacher's lineage becomes your own. This also ensures that the teaching and sharing being done is the same style and method true to Usui Sensei.
