DEGREES OF USUI REIKI
The four degrees/levels of Usui/Tibetan Reiki are called First (I), Second (II), Third Degree (Master or ART) and Master Teacher Degree. The degrees define what level of training a practitioner received. Each degree level requires a minimum of specific attunement procedures. All degrees receive various and increasingly stronger healing skill attunements. The sequence of degrees below teaches Usui Reiki at levels I and II, until Teacher level where Tibetan symbols were added (by Phyllis Furumoto). Only the last level, Master-Teacher, also learns to pass attunements to others.
Your current teachers included many additional Reiki skills and information at each level that build on the previous level. When you have successfully completed your attunements and training, you will be certified at that level and you may call yourself a Reiki Practitioner. At the master levels, you may use the title of Reiki Master.
Also, you may stop your studies at any level…none are required as you must do what is best for you. You can resume studies where you left off at a later date, if you are comfortable with that and your teacher agrees. All levels of practitioners can treat others or self from day one of study.
Reiki I
Prerequisite: none, minimum age 13 (age 12 & under have special lessons)
Learn physical aspects of Reiki. After attunement, a practitioner can send healing energy via contact ("hands on"). First degree lessons by Margo also omclude instructions on standard hand positions, chakras systems, basic procedures, Reiki history, legalities, and the inherent effects on the practitioner. Practicing the new skill with teacher guidance is highly recommended. (Parent-child lessons available separately).
Reiki II
Prerequisite: certified Reiki I
Learn metaphysical aspects of Reiki. After attunement which raises the student's vibration higher than in Reiki I, the practitioner can also send Reiki long distance through space and time, in addition to hands-on. Instruction includes learning to draw and use first 3 sacred Reiki symbols. Plus, Margo & David teach meditation on chakra integration techniques. Practice of new skills & meditation with teacher guidance is included.
Reiki Master (III)
Prerequisite: certified Reiki I & II, minimum age 18 preferred by Margo & David
After attunement, a practitioner's first and second degree skills are enhanced. Also, 5 more symbols are learned (the Usui master symbol and the 4 antakaranahs), plus 4 additional clearing/healing Reiki techniques are learned. Margo Ross' instruction includes building a Reiki Grid, learning the Way of the Reiki Master, 2 advanced meditation techniques, the 3 Pillars of Reiki method by Usui, his philosophies, and information on chakra and chi-energy systems. Often, a deep self-healing process occurs and a higher sense of spiritual wellbeing is acquired as well. Practicing one's new skills & meditations with teacher guidance is recommended.
Reiki Master Teacher
Prerequisite: certified Reiki I, II, & Master Levels
This level is a "westernized" division of the original master level separating teacher skills from master since many students did not want teacher information. Besides a full attunement, Master Teacher students learn two more sacred symbols, which enable the ability to pass 5 types of Reiki attunements to others and self. Also with Margo, you learn 3 Reiki master level meditations, details about chakras, and gain 3 additional textbooks. Practicing the new skills & attunements with teacher guidance is important. Margo offers teaching and instruction techniques and philosophies. Your teacher also assists with leading the graduate's own first Reiki class. Graduates may write his/her own student manual or copy from these manuals with permission.
