Western Reiki Level 2
Going deeper into a practice you have already begun
By the time you come to Reiki Level 2, you have already experienced Reiki. You have received your Level 1 attunements, learned how to give Reiki to yourself and others and had some time to live with the practice.
So we don't begin Level 2 by rushing into something new.
We begin by looking at what has happened since Level 1.
Have you noticed changes in yourself? How has your Reiki practice developed? Where do the Reiki Principles sit within your everyday life? And what is drawing you towards Level 2 now?
There are no right answers to those questions.
We are where we are, and that is where we begin.

Exploring new ways of working with Reiki
At Level 2, you are introduced to three of the four Usui Reiki symbols, with the fourth symbol forming part of your Level 3 training. You will learn how to work with these symbols in your own self-practice and when offering Reiki to others, as well as exploring distant Reiki and the opportunities this opens up for working with people who are not physically present with you.
As you become familiar with these new ways of working, I encourage you to experiment and notice what happens through your own practice. There is no need to rush your understanding or feel that you must experience something in a particular way. What matters is giving yourself the space to explore what you are learning and allowing your relationship with Reiki to continue developing.
Your experience is your own. Allow yourself the freedom to discover what unfolds.
Reiki as part of everyday life
The Reiki Principles remain an important part of your practice as you continue through the different levels of Reiki. You may already have noticed how something that seemed quite straightforward when you first encountered it can take on a different meaning when you begin recognising it in your own everyday experiences.
As you continue practising Reiki, I encourage you to remain curious about what you notice, both during your treatments and in the ordinary moments of your day. You may become more aware of your thoughts, the choices you make and the way you respond to situations around you. Sometimes you may recognise an old pattern, while at other times you may find yourself responding differently without having consciously decided to do so.
There is no particular experience you need to achieve at Level 2. The Reiki Principles are not something you complete before moving on to the next stage of your training. They remain available for you to explore throughout your life, and your understanding of them may continue to change as your own experiences unfold.
Offering Reiki to others
At Level 2, you will explore further ways of offering Reiki to others and begin considering what is involved if you choose to practise Reiki professionally. For some students, this is a natural next step in their Reiki journey, while others are simply looking to continue their personal practice and share Reiki with family and friends. There is no expectation that you will practise Reiki professionally after completing Level 2, although we will explore the additional responsibilities involved should you decide to take this path.
Is Western Reiki Level 2 right for me?
If you have completed your Western Reiki Level 1 training and have been exploring Reiki through your own practice, you may find yourself becoming curious about what comes next. Perhaps you would like to explore new ways of working with Reiki, or you may simply feel that you are ready to continue your learning.
I recommend allowing at least three months between Level 1 and Level 2, giving yourself time to become familiar with what you have already learned and to explore Reiki through your own experiences. However, there is no requirement to progress to another level, and there is certainly no need to rush. I encourage you to listen to what feels right for you and continue your training only if and when you feel ready.
Your Reiki journey is your own, and Level 1 may provide everything you are looking for. Equally, you may discover a desire to explore further. Neither path is more important than the other.

Going deeper doesn't necessarily mean adding more
As you continue your Reiki journey, you may discover that some of your most meaningful experiences come not from learning something new, but from returning to what you already know and noticing something you hadn't recognised before. A familiar practice may feel different, or something you have heard many times may suddenly make sense in a way that it hadn't previously.
Following your Level 2 training, I encourage you to give yourself time to explore and embody what you have learned, rather than immediately looking towards the next stage. I recommend allowing approximately 12 months between Level 2 and Level 3a, giving yourself the opportunity to practise and integrate your learning into your everyday life. There is much to discover through your own experiences, and you may find that your understanding continues to change long after the course itself has finished.
