Reiki Level 2 Course – Symbols & Distance

Symbols and distance methods are valuable precisely because they simplify. I teach you how to use symbols as anchors for attention: a way to focus, not a performance. We practise placing them with clarity, pacing by breath and posture, and closing sessions cleanly. Distance work is framed within strong ethics—consent, timing, privacy—and includes preparation and aftercare so sensitivity remains manageable. You’ll receive scripts you can adapt, not formulas to recite. We translate this into ordinary life. You will practise distance support for a friend who has consented, using a clear start, a simple symbol sequence, and a precise close. You will also learn how to work with time zones and how to schedule routines you can keep. In person, we’ll refine placements for head, chest, abdomen and back; add transitions that lead from alert to ease; and practise chair sessions for office or community settings. If you notice rising restlessness or a shallow breath, you will shorten holds, change placement, or bring the session to a respectful close. We cover documentation and language. I provide a minimalist template that records what matters—sleep, mood, focus, and a few observations in plain English. We rehearse how to describe distance work to sceptical listeners without mystique. You will never promise outcomes; you will describe the steps you take and the aftercare you recommend—water, rest, light movement, and a simple check‑in the next day. The point is buildable trust: steps you can explain and repeat. Your four‑week plan after Level 2 includes: one paired practice per week, two brief distance sessions, and a review call to refine pacing and language. By the end you will have a small set of reliable tools. The measure of progress is not excitement; it is coherence—sessions that open, flow and close without strain. Practice notes: keep language ordinary, avoid forcing, and let the exhale lead timing. Design short versions for busy days and fuller sessions when the system softens. Close cleanly every time and keep a brief note on sleep, mood and focus so change is visible. If emotions swell during integration, slow the rhythm, hydrate and ground for a few days. When scope is exceeded, signpost to appropriate support; this protects both giver and receiver. Distance methods are always framed with consent, preparation, timing and aftercare.
