The gap between level 1 and 2 is artificial and was introduced by Western Reiki teachers. Mikao Usui and Dr Hayashi taught Reiki as a continuous course. Dr Hayashi taught level 1 and 2 over 5 days with 2 hours teaching each day.

The reasons teachers in the West give for the gap are:

"to allow the student to get used to the energy."

"the attunements are too strong to be given so close together"

"the cleansing process is too difficult"

The reasons we feel it is better to teach level 1 and 2 together are:

Level 1 only teaches the use of high frequency spiritual energy, which will not work directly on a physical or emotional level.

The cleansing process can be difficult for some students, and if they have not been attuned to the level 2 energy they will struggle to heal themselves effectively, making the cleansing process more prolonged and difficult.

Very few students will be sensitive enough to feel the energy used at level 1. We find that students get disillusioned with Reiki when they have only taken level 1 because they cannot feel the energy and are disappointed with the healing effects. Level 1 is more a relaxation treatment, rather than the healing treatment possible at level 2.

Level 1 is not a complete or stand-alone course, and as such it only teaches part of the Reiki system. Mikao Usui said Light and Ki energy flows from the healers hands, eyes and breath. Level 1 teaches the Light component and level 2 teaches the Ki component that works directly on a physical and emotional level. Both are needed to be able to use Reiki effectively.

This is the way Reiki was taught originally, and we are trying to keep the Reiki tradition alive.

I teach a very focused Reiki course that teaches traditional Japanese Reiki and current best practice for professional practice only. We do not spend time teaching Western add-ons that add nothing of value to Reiki and in fact make it more complex and cluttered than it should be. Reiki is a simple and elegant healing art. I aim to keep like that!
