    Okuden Inner Teaching Reiki 2 Workshop

    Reiki Distance Healing
    Berkeley, CA

    Reiki 2 includes a process of emotional and mental clearing, including enhanced intuitive abilities and psychic awareness, through which people often report a deeper connection to Spirit. A Reiki 2 attunement connects one to the Reiki symbols and sounds that make possible the channeling of Reiki across time and space. For example, through Reiki distance healing you will be able to send Reiki to someone not in the same location as you, or in a different time, such as to our mothers or ourselves at our birth, back in time to a traumatic event, or to the future for an expected situation.

    Reiki 2 also enables one to treat destinations where physical touch is not possible, such as
    relationships, ideas, groups, large geographical areas, concepts, etc. Reiki 2 makes you part of the healing of humanity in a new way.

    Reiki 2 allows you to expand the Reiki practice in 3 ways:

    1. Reiki distance healing across space
    2. Abstract healing to that which cannot be touched physically
    3. Healing across time
