Reiki II is generally understood to be healing at a distance. This is healing that a channel can do when, for some reason the client is not physically present. The client can be anywhere, except dead. Reiki II requires quite a bit more commitment from the Channel. There are symbols, in additions to the hand positions learned at the First level. The real challenge in Reiki II is to remove one's Ego from the process in order to create a clear path for the energy. There are some variations on this level of practice. This is the way we were taught to do it. Firstly, we require a photograph which shows clearly the eyes and the top of the head. No sunglasses or hats if it can be possibly avoided. Except for these two requirements ( and if no other photo is available even these two requirements may be waived), any photograph will do. It can be a baby picture, even if the client is 60 years old. It can be a group picture (make sure you indicate which is the one to be healed), or an action shot. We ask that the client's name be written on the back of the photograph or on a separate piece of paper. Usually only the first name is required. We do not need any more information than this. We do not need the nature of the disharmony. We do not need any background information. It is a good idea to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with the picture for prompt return of the photo, and the notes made by the Channel. It is not usually a good idea to give this type of healing as a gift. While we are no doubt, sincere in our desire to help someone who is suffering, requests for healing must come from the one in the picture. If you do desire to help someone, send in your own picture for a healing. Guaranteed, the energy will find its way to wherever it is needed the most. (hint; it's probably you.) The picture is required to help 'ground' the energy and bind it to the one for whom it is intended. The belief here is that, as in many aboriginal cultures, a likeness such as a photograph captures something of one's soul or essence. Come to think of it, it is like a 'cookie' on your computer. It marks the individual and provides a marker for the Universal Energy to become particularized. Secondly, I use a pillow or some such surrogate to stand in for the physical body. Once the second level symbols are made and the surrogate body identified, the hand positions are the same as those of Level I. At each position, notes are made, something like automatic writing. Whatever comes up into consciousness is written down. The point of making notes is again to 'ground' the energy, bind it and particularize it to the one in the photograph. Additionally, the notes allow the client to participate in his/her own healing, at the conscious level, by providing clues or messages that the client will recognize and can follow up on. Reiki energy is not bound by Time or Space. Theoretically, only one Reiki II healing is all that should be needed for complete immediate and spontaneous healing at every level of being. It is, however, true that as long as we have a physical body, Time and Space, are important considerations. Most of us, I dare say, have some sort of belief that healing 'takes time'. Reiki II healing notes, will therefore, have a long shelf life. They should be kept in a safe place and consulted from time to time as the healing progresses. Of course, there is nothing at all to prevent you from having more than one or many Reiki II healings done. The energy will certainly honour that belief. These notes are not channeled material in the sense of some non-corporeal entity being 'brought through.' They are not an invasion of the client's mind or privacy. It is not possible for the Channel to interpret or edit messages as they come through. Whatever a Channel thinks about what he is writing is totally irrelevant and invariably wrong. It is up to the client and only the client to interpret the notes, if an interpretation is needed. They are a representation, a symbol if you will and an anchor for the healing energy. In my experience, Reiki II healings are just as powerful as Reiki I healings. There does not seem to be much of a difference. In all cases, the client's privacy is completely protected. Although communication between client and Channel is by way of shared thoughts, dreams, memories, experiences, language, invariably what is meaningful for one will have a completely different meaning for the other. Interpretation or editing of what comes up in the notes is not for the Channel. In fact, in my experience, the energy shuts down immediately if one attempts it. And by the way, the client will still receive their healing regardless. The main job of the Channel is to maintain the integrity of the energy's pathway by not judging, interpreting or editing. Everything that comes up must be written down faithfully, even those things that seem like one's very own memories. We never know what is going to have significance for the client. If a client wishes to share with a Channel their thoughts and feelings and solicits an opinion, there is of course, nothing wrong with that. Only remember, all the Channel can give is an opinion. It is up to the client to interpret the messages. Reiki energy can only heal. At the level of soul, there is no such thing as privacy. We are all one, at various levels we are each the Divine Spirit in manifestation. In the eastern philosophies upon which the theories of Qi are based, we are all interconnected and connected to Nature. In my view, the point of healing is to connect with the Divine in each other and the Universe. The ultimate healer is the Heavenly Qi, which, when perceived we may call, Ecstasy, Bliss, Divine Love, Epiphany, Cosmic Orgasm, or any of a myriad other names that describes the moment of perception of our selves as Spiritual Beings; that part of us that is nameless and constant in an ever changing Universe.
