Study Reiki to Become a Practitioner
There are 3 levels of Reiki as a practitioner. If you want to become a teacher after you complete the 3 levels, there is a 4th level. Each level is very important as they build on each other. You cannot learn Reiki from a book. You have to attend in-person classes.
In each level you receive what we call attunements. Unlike when you have a Reiki session that can be done long-distance, Reiki class can only be done in person. You cannot receive distance Attunements.
Shoden = focus on self-healing
Okuden = focus on increasing your awareness of how to let Reiki flow
Shinpiden = create a deeper awareness of vibrations and living the 5 principles that are Reiki
