Reiki for beginners Level 1 & 2
August 2016

 
The first degree opens the energy channel and permits the student to channel Reiki mainly at the physical level, both for himself and for others. It consists of one initiation in the Usui Tibetan system. After the initiation, the student may note a subtle energy flowing through his hands. This can be perceived in various ways, including heat, coolness, tickling, buzzing, or just a strange feeling in the hands. Sometimes it takes a period of time after the initiation before the student feels the energy. This level is open to anyone. No previous experience or preparation is required. It is usually taught in one weekend. The initiation connects the student’s energy system to the Universal Energy. Energy blockages are released, balancing and harmonising the major energy centres known as chakras. The initiation opens the central energy channel leading from the crown of the head to the bottom of the spine. It connects the student to the Universal Energy permanently, allowing him to channel the energy whenever he wishes. At first, the amount of energy channelled after the initiation can vary considerably, but the more the student uses Reiki, the more constant the energy becomes. In this level, the energy is 80-90% on the physical level. The remainder being on the mental/emotional and spiritual levels.The second level opens the energy channel and permits the student to channel Reiki mainly at the physical level, both for himself and for others. It consists of one initiation in the Usui Tibetan system. After the initiation, the student may note a subtle energy flowing through his hands. This can be perceived in various ways, including heat, coolness, tickling, buzzing, or just a strange feeling in the hands. Sometimes it takes a period of time after the initiation before the student feels the energy. With Level 1 & 2 you will be able to heal yourself and others.

Fitness Guidelines for All from American College of Sports Medicine
Cardiorespiratory Exercise
Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
Exercise recommendations can be met through 30-60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise (five days per week) or 20-60 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise (three days per week).  
One continuous session and multiple shorter sessions (of at least 10 minutes) are both acceptable to accumulate desired amount of daily exercise.  
Gradual progression of exercise time, frequency and intensity is recommended for best adherence and least injury risk.  
People unable to meet these minimums can still benefit from some activity.
Resistance Exercise
Adults should train each major muscle group two or three days each week using a variety of exercises and equipment. 
Very light or light intensity is best for older persons or previously sedentary adults starting exercise. 
Two to four sets of each exercise will help adults improve strength and power.
For each exercise, 8-12 repetitions improve strength and power, 10-15 repetitions improve strength in middle-age and older persons starting exercise, and 15-20 repetitions improve muscular endurance. 
Adults should wait at least 48 hours between resistance training sessions.
Flexibility Exercise
Adults should do flexibility exercises at least two or three days each week to improve range of motion. 
Each stretch should be held for 10-30 seconds to the point of tightness or slight discomfort. 
Repeat each stretch two to four times, accumulating 60 seconds per stretch. 
Static, dynamic, ballistic and PNF stretches are all effective. 
Flexibility exercise is most effective when the muscle is warm. Try light aerobic activity or a hot bath to warm the muscles before stretching.
Neuromotor Exercise
Neuromotor exercise (sometimes called “functional fitness training”) is recommended for two or three days per week. 
Exercises should involve motor skills (balance, agility, coordination and gait), proprioceptive exercise training and multifaceted activities (tai ji and yoga) to improve physical function and prevent falls in older adults. 
20-30 minutes per day is appropriate for neuromotor exercise.
