There are three levels of instruction. Students progress through the levels one by one. Broadly speaking, Level 1 focusses mainly on healing the self and self development. It can also be used to do hands on healing to friends and family. Level 2 builds on this and provides more tools for helping to heal others. It is at this level that many decide to become practitioners. Level 3 is for those who want to deepen their commitment to Reiki for self development. This is also the level at which you can become a Reiki teacher.
