This training provides a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Reiki

Okuden means "inner teachings". In this course, you become attuned to three Reiki symbols through which you will gain a deeper understanding and connection to Usui Mikao's original teachings. An important part of this course is the activation of the symbol 'Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen', with which one can perform distant Reiki treatments.

Reiki is a powerful tool to support yourself on difficult days, help you fall asleep, make you feel safe, loved and at peace with yourself.

❊ You will learn to use the Usui symbols correctly and to practice them during the course.

❊ You will learn how to powerfully focus Reiki energy to support yourself and others with emotional as well as mental challenges/ discomforts.

❊ One focus of the course is to learn how to release trauma from the past and dissolve negativity through Reiki to change and improve habits and behavior.

Marlena Cuerlis

Marlena has been working as a certified Reiki Master for over five years, treating hundreds of clients and teaching the magic of Reiki. She has been attuned up to the Master level by the American Reiki Master William Lee Rand as well as by the Japanese Reiki Master and Buddhist Monk Hyakuten Inamoto. Her style of Reiki is a combination of the Western teachings of Hawayo Takata and the Japanese Reiki techniques. You can find her lineage here.

The level 2 course is for anyone who wants to refine and empower the Reiki energy they are channeling and for those who want to try out distant Reiki. It is also the right course if you want to work with Reiki to manifest your dreams as in this level you learn different Reiki manifestation techniques. So you don’t need to have the goal to be a professional Reiki practitioner to benefit from this course.
It is actually a great idea to re-take the second (and also first) level of Reiki if you have been attuned to Reiki before but have lost touch with your practice. Marlena has had quite a few students who have re-taken both levels as a booster to commit to a regular Reiki practice and to refresh their memory. Since you will be invited into a group of Reiki practitioners, you can find ‘Reiki buddies’ in this group to share Reiki with and practice distant Reiki with each other as well.
Marlena was quite skeptical at first about distant treatments. Her ego was in the way and she just couldn’t imagine how Reiki would flow to a person without her physically interacting with them. That is why she tried it out immediately after her level 2 course and was blown away. Not only was it as powerful as in-person treatments, the experiences my clients had completely matched what she felt during the session. Reiki flows through time and space. You don’t need a Zoom call or phone call to connect with your client, Reiki does it all on its own. Reiki mainly works with intention (although you need to activate the distant symbol to give distant treatments) and it flows to the person you intend it to flow to. If you are still skeptical, Marlena can recommend to book a distant session and try it out for yourself.
If you decide that you want to be a professional Reiki practitioner and you want to teach others, you will need to be attuned up to the Master level. Marlena highly recommends waiting for at least a year after your second level. During this time, you should practice in-person and distant treatments regularly and as much as possible. And you should give yourself regular Reiki, as this strengthens your connection to the Reiki source. Marlena personally waited for much longer than a year but she believes that you will notice when you feel rooted enough in your Reiki practice to take this next step.
