Usui Reiki Okuden (Level 2)

Okuden (Level 2) deepens your practice. We introduce symbols as tools of attention, not trophies, and we focus on clarity rather than complexity. You will learn how symbols help you steady the mind, organise a session and support distance work ethically. We also build consultation skills—how to welcome someone, listen without rushing, set a clear shared intention, and choose a structure that fits their day. The mood is practical and human: repeatable steps you can trust. Course themes include: refined arrivals; pacing by the body’s cues; adapting placements for posture and mobility; and documentation that protects privacy while tracking change. You’ll practise common sequences for head tension, jaw release, screen‑shoulder fatigue and digestive ease. We explore chair sessions for community settings and ethical language for consent in informal contexts at home or work. Distance support is taught with preparation, timing and aftercare so your energy remains clear and the work remains gentle. We spend time on boundaries and scope. You will learn when to pause, when to change course, and when to signpost to another professional. You’ll practise closing tidily so both giver and receiver leave balanced rather than foggy. If emotional waves arise during integration, you will slow the rhythm, hydrate, and ground for a few days. Okuden is where many students start to feel truly confident—not because they “feel more,” but because their steps are calmer and their language is kinder. After the course you receive a four‑week progression plan: paired practice with a study partner, two supervised distance sessions with clear scripts, and a simple case‑note template. The aim is consistency. You are not chasing fireworks; you are building competence. By the end of Level 2 you will hold a session the way a good host holds a room—attentive, relaxed and trustworthy. 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.
