Reiki level 3

I am due to start my Reiki level 3 this coming weekend and whilst originally it was meant to be done over the weekends 22nd and 29th April, it was moved due to the college where I am doing the course managing to quite spectacularly screw up. This course has been booked now for over 10 months, and it was only at the last minute they went “Oh, we are shut for Easter over those weeks, we can’t have the course run”. So now I am due to start this weekend and also have the second part run on the last weekend of May. I am lucky that I am free both those weekends, otherwise I would have been more annoyed about it.

I am looking forward to doing my Reiki, it has been a while since I did, and whilst it is meant to be something that is used regularly, I have been wary of doing so for some months, mainly because when I have been doing it, I have found myself becoming drained, which is the exact opposite of what is meant to happen. I do recall previously when I was doing level 1 and 2, the tutor made clear we shouldn’t be feeling drained, if we do, it is because we are using our own energy, which is clearly not good. So hopefully on level 3, I will find a way to better tap into the Reiki energy and not my own, because that has been putting me off doing it, and I do wish to do it, especially as I have seen the results it can give people, it helped me a lot when I had my operation on my right wrist, to get through the sheer agony I was going through at the time.

With any luck, this will be even more interesting than the previous two courses, and I shall learn more about what it is all about and how best to use it

Just want to wish you best of luck for Level 3 Reiki.

Let you know that I have completed Level 3 Reiki three years ago.

Are you Deaf? Please let me know as we can communicate each other, learn something from each other.

sherry,

many thanks for your experience. It is sort of similar, I have found that for no reason sometimes I will just have a what seems like a very warm sensation in my hands, which is exactly like it is when I do the Reiki. And this is without me turning it on.

I have never done any other energy work, but I do recall my teacher saying that we had to ensure we were using Reiki energy and not our own, and thus that is why I am still concerned.

Hopefully on Saturday, he will be able to help me. I find him to be a very good teacher. When he did the last attunement, he said to be aware that it may cause some people to cry or react in ways they don't expect. That is exactly what happened to me, I just was very tearful and I still don't know why, can only put it down to a release from all the pain I was going through at the time from a wrist operation I had just had.

3rd level here, I am not sure exactly what that gives. I know level 4 onwards I think is teacher level. I was told there was I think 7 levels and very few are level 7, and if I make level 4, then that would be great, but I still feel I have a lot of healing to do on myself, as I have physically been through a lot in the past 6/7 years.

Hi John,

Many thanks for the support of my upcoming Reiki session.

I knew I recognised your name from Deaf-UK, of which I am a member as well.

I am profoundly deaf, use 2 hearing aids these days, still not found a decent replacement for the aid I used to have, which got stopped being manufactured. Hopefully my Phonak Savias will do the job.

I have to admit I don't know BSL, was never brought up with it either.

Did doing level 3 Reiki help a lot, did you find it help you physically, mentally, emotionally, and give you more energy, like I hear it does?

And did you progress to another level afterwards, and if so, how easy was it to find courses that allowed you to do that.
