Reiki Level I (Shoden)
Level I is where Reiki begins: an attunement from a Reiki Master, self-treatment, and hands-on practice with others. It's complete on its own.
- Focus
- Self-treatment and hands-on practice
- Taught by
- A Reiki Master, in person
In Level I, a Reiki Master gives an attunement, a short ceremony said to open your channel for Reiki. You learn the principles, hand positions for treating yourself and others, and how to sense energy with your hands (sometimes called byosen scanning).
Many practitioners stay at Level I for years, and that's not a lesser path. Daily self-Reiki is a full practice in itself.
Reiki is a complementary energy practice, not a diagnosis or medical treatment, and it isn't a substitute for professional healthcare. It's lovely alongside medical care, never instead of it.
