A question about Reiki

[Tom]

It is true that the symbols are usually regarded as secrets not meant to be shared with people who have not been attuned. There are many who do not think this should continue. There are alse people who teach without asking for payment.

It sounds like it is time for you to move on. This would be a good place for you to start looking: http://www.sharereiki.org/
The symbols and some reading material are available on one of their pages, http://www.sharereiki.org/download.htm

There was a thread about using a lucid dream to find a reiki master and to ask for an attunement, but I cannot seem to find it. The result of the experiment was that it seemed to work better than anticipated. Given that you are already finding the symbols in your dreams, it seems likely that you can use your dreams to take this next step.

Thanks Tom. I've found that thread about finding a Reiki Master through a lucid dream, and I will certainly try. Thanks again for your help and useful links.

Hey, i was just surfing the forums, and i come to yours. I have had the same dream before, with the weird symbols, i didn't know what to think of it at the time, and i still dont' know what the dream was trying to tell me. i train with energy, but maybe i should do some reki training,...i just dunno. i'll check out on it.

Well, a kind Reiki Master gave me the second degree for free, he said that I deserve to move on, no mather what. Strenght of my energy increased, and I can heal better than I could before. I just wanted to say thanks to Tom, for his support and advice. Thanks! []

It is good to hear that you got your second level. There is a lot more energy available at this level. It is a bigger increase than in the third level, which puts the energy of the first two levels in context and makes it easier to access. I hope that this person who helped you with the second level will help you with the third level, the master level.

Yup, I hope so too. If I ever get to the Master level, I'll never charge attunements and/or healings. It's true that Masters have right to earn money for living by charging their service, but Reiki is energy, and it should be available to everyone.

The microcosmic orbit meditation from chi kung is much easier to learn after the second level of reiki. It helps solve some of the problems which can occur at this time, such as a need for grounding. It distributes the excess energy to fill in gaps where it is needed instead of dissipating it into the ground.

Money is a very interesting thing. There are many people who would rather pay for something to be done to them than learn to do it themselves. This is true even with reiki.

Hello. I wonder if you can answer my question. For a month now I've been dreaming weird symbols. I was told by my mom, a Usui Reiki user that these are Reiki symbols, which are a secret unless you are initiated into the second level of Reiki (which she has been initiated into). I have been initiated into the first level of Reiki two years ago, and the energy provided by it was sufficient for me, until now. My capability to chanel Reiki is no longer so strong as it used to be. Like I'm ready for something more. My mom thinks that I could be ready for the second level/degree, but fees requested by the Masters are astronomical. So perhaps these dreams have other meaning, perhaps I'm missing something. Actually I just want that my ability to chanel Reiki restores, because I feel like the great river of Reiki within me suddenly transformed into a  simple creek. Any suggestions?
