As you'll anticipate, it's essential to be attuned to Reiki 1 earlier than attending a Second Diploma course, and a few Masters require you to have a spot of at the least three months between First and Second Levels, so your physique has an opportunity to get used to the upper vib - rations inaugurated by your preliminary attunement(s) to this therapeutic vitality.
I significantly like this sluggish and delicate strategy, and ask my college students to get loads of observe with self-treatments (and ideally some expertise with treating others) earlier than deciding wheth - er or not they need to take an additional Reiki course. There is no such thing as a time restrict, so it is very important take so long as you want.
There's an growing development, nonetheless, for Reiki Masters to forgo this requirement and permit college students to take Reiki 2 very quickly after Reiki 1. The course is historically taught over two days, however some Masters now select to show it in a single day, typically instantly following a one-day Reiki 1 course, in order that each ranges are achieved in a weekend. Naturally, the strategy taken by every Grasp relies upon upon how they have been skilled, however sadly some Masters who began their Reiki journey by taking each ranges in two consecutive days truly consider that Reiki doesn't work successfully with out utilizing the Reiki symbols—as a result of they by no means acquired the possibility to seek out out for themselves.
Let me reassure you. That is not true. There are a lot of a whole lot of 1000's of Reiki First Diploma college students all around the world who don’t select to go on to take a Second Diploma course, as a result of they discover their First Diploma expertise fairly sufficient for them. So I can emphasize—Reiki undoubtedly works with out the symbols, though the symbols do improve it. Additionally, simply since you study the symbols at Second Diploma doesn't imply you must use them each time you utilize Reiki—you possibly can simply let Reiki move, the identical as at First Diploma stage.
