Levels of Reiki training in India

When you go for your first Reiki training in India, you should have a basic knowledge of this practice and how it works. There are three different levels of mastery in Reiki and they all have different meanings. It's not really necessary to know everything about these three levels. But having some knowledge beforehand won’t do any harm. Knowing the basics about each level and their meanings may add up to your Reiki experience.

All levels of Reiki healing are centred on "attunement" (a ceremony of empowerment), education and practice. A ceremony called "Reiju" is performed by the Reiki master during each level. Its aim is to open and expand energy channels which will allow the Universal energy (Qi) to flow freely within the body.

Attunement can be described as a process where the master passes energy to his/her student.

Level 1 and 2 training can last over a weekend. But you can also find trainings that last for weeks or even months.
