Usui Teate Reiki level 1

The original Japanese form of Reiki is markedly different from the manner in which it has ended up being practised in the West. Originally known as Usui Teate, it was considered a spiritual path to enlightenment, based around meditation, self-healing and regular spiritual empowerments. Considerable emphasis was also placed on the importance of living and practising the Reiki precepts. Usui's system was deeply rooted in Tendai Buddhism and Shintoism, with Tendai Buddhism providing the spiritual teachings and Shintoism contributing methods of controlling and working with the energies.

This integrated Reiki course takes Western-style Reiki back to its traditional Japanese roots and reveals the original practices and techniques established by Mikao Usui in the 1920s. Remarkably, about a dozen of his students are still alive, the youngest of whom is 107 years old. They will only speak with one or two people in the West, and much of the information contained within this course has been shared with Chris Marsh, a Reiki Master and high-level Japanese martial arts practitioner from the North East of England.

The remainder of the information has been uncovered by Frank Arjava Petter (a Reiki Master living in Japan) and Hiroshi Doi (a member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai). However, the most reliable and exciting material comes from Usui's surviving students.

Shoden (First Degree)

The First Degree or Shoden level covers the accurate history of the origins of Reiki, and the differences between Japanese and Western Reiki. Daily energy exercises to help strengthen and purify the Reiki channel known as Hatsurei Ho will be learnt, as well as Usui's original self-treatment approaches (including a powerful self-treatment meditation). You will receive 3 Reiju empowerments (using Usui's original method) to connect you to the Reiki energy.

The following topics, and much more, will be covered in the course:

- What is Reiki?

- The history of Reiki.

- The Usui Memorial.

- The Reiki Principles.

- Poems of the Meiji Emperor.

- The original Japanese form of Reiki.

- What you will feel when treating others.

- What people feel when they are being treated.

- The effects of Reiki attunements.

- The effects of Reiki on patients.

- Using Reiki with other therapies.

- Hatsurei Ho.

- Self-treatments.

- Giving Reiki treatments.

- Distant healing.

- Treating plants and animals.

After you received your 3 empowerments I will require you to perform:

-   20 minutes connecting with the energies you have been attuned to.

After you spend 20 minutes connecting with the energies you have been attuned to, all I will need is a paragraph or two typed up and e-mailed to me of how it went and how you felt.

It is not a test to see how academic you are.  It is just to show that you have worked with the energy and how you felt when using it. It will help with your development and confidence.

You can take as long as you like to complete this work.

After I receive your work by email I will send your certificate.

You will receive: the original Usui Teate Reiki level 1 manual in pdf format via email, certificate and 3 Reiju Empowerments that can be received at an appointed time (Real Time) or via the chi ball (call in) method, in which the attunement is sent out into the ethers to be called down by the client at the proper time.
