Introduction

Welcome to Level III Master (Shinpiden) Reiki.

The purpose of this manual is to provide a practical guide to Reiki at Level III and whileno manual is ever truly complete, it will hopefully be a comprehensive and useful guideto its practice.

Disclaimer

Reiki is a natural method of ‘hands on’ energy balancing treatment for the purpose ofreducing stress and for relaxation.

Reiki is not meant to be a substitute for professional medical or psychological healthcare.

No Reiki practitioner (unless qualified to do so) treats, makes any diagnosis of a

condition or conditions, performs any medical treatments, prescribes any substancenor interferes in any way with the treatments of licenced medical professionals.

Reiki does not in any way compete with the medical profession nor medical treatment, itdoes in fact compliment medical treatment.

For any physical or psychological ailment, it is recommended that a licenced medicalprofessional is consulted.

What is Level III Reiki?

Reiki at Level III has various aspects that are distinct to this level. Attunement methodsare given at Level III. There are some that will wish only to attune their friends and/or

family and this is fine. There are others who will wish to teach Reiki to others for whatever fee, if any, they set and this is fine also. In either case, Level III completes yourReiki training (although other systems can be gone on to afterwards) and hopefullyoffers opportunities to enhance your own development.

The method of attuning others has changed over the years since first devised in the daysof Usui Sensei and many variations of attunement methods exist. The method used toattune you is included in this manual (for all three levels) as is the Japanese method,called ‘Reiju’ (‘giving/receiving the spirituality’), although this method is not the methodof Reiju used in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai as that method is known only to thatorganisation itself.

A Reiju empowerment (if desired) will be given to you, using the same energy lineage as

each of your level attunements, at least one week after your Level III attunement.

Shinpiden – The Mystery

The Empowerment Symbol

Daikomyo

The Daikomyo (also referred to as the Usui Master Symbol) has as its primary use theattunement of others. Once the recipient is attuned to this symbol, he/she has the abilityto attune others into the Reiki energy.

In Japan, this symbol is called Empowerment. That said, in Japan, along with

Connection of Level II, Daikomyo would be considered as a phrase, serving as a focus



for a specific aspect of the Reiki energy. As you no doubt already know (from Level II), the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai does not usesymbols.

It has been stated in the west that the meaning of ‘Daikomyo’ (pronounced D-eye-kohm- yoh) is ‘Great Being shine brightly’ or ‘Great Being of the Universe, shine on me, be myfriend’ or ‘Treasure House of the Great Beaming Light’.

It has also been said that Daikomyo is a Zen Buddhist expression for ‘One’s true natureof which one becomes aware of in the experience of enlightenment’.

Hiroshi Doi, a Japanese Reiki Master, explains it as ‘Great Light radiated by Buddha’ – Dai (Great) Ko Myo (Light radiated by Buddha – ‘Wisdom which is that Light that breaksthe darkness’).

Use of Daikomyo creates a stronger connection between your higher self and thephysical. It also can enable recognition and clarity about your true path.

The Daikomyo as shown on the next page is the Usui Master symbol as taught in Japanand as used in your attunements.

Ethics

Ethics are obviously very important at Level III.

In no way is the teaching Level III Master (Shinpiden) any form of holy man or guru ofany kind and he/she can not and should not expect any form of devotion from any ofhis/her students.

Moral and ethical behaviour is expected towards each and every student from a Level IIIMaster (Shinpiden).

Any confidence entered into between a Level III Master (Shinpiden) and student oughtto be kept.



When treating or attuning, the physical areas of sensibility shall be avoided and therecipient’s requests in all areas regarding the treatment and/or attunement must berespected within personal, professional and ethical limits.

Accurate client files must be kept if practicing professionally.

Personal hygiene and the non-use of alcohol, drugs etc. during professional activities isrequired from a Level III Master (Shinpiden).

All Usui Reiki lineages must be respected equally.

Reiju

Reiju is a ‘spiritual empowerment’ that connects the recipient to Reiki reinforcing thatconnection and increasing the strength of his/her Reiki.

The practice of the energy exercises daily, enhances that connection.

Reiju enhances the recipient’s spiritual development.

Maximisation of the recipient’s intuition and sensitivity to Reiki energy is gained byrepeated Reiju empowerments on a regular basis.

Giving Attunements/Empowerments using Kotodama

Level I (Shoden)

Give Reiju four times to recipient

Level II (Okuden)

Give Reiju to recipient pronouncing kotodama in mind repetitively at each point (crown,temples, third eye, throat, heart, hands)

1st Reiju – pronounce Focus kotodama2nd Reiju – pronounce Harmony kotodama3rd Reiju – pronounce Connection kotodama


Give Reiju three times to recipient pronouncing Empowerment kotodama in mind,repetitively at each point

It is recommended that the recipient chant the kotodama of the level given for tenminutes directly after the empowerment, i.e.

After 1st Okuden Reiju – chant Focus kotodama After 2nd Okuden Reiju – chant Harmony kotodama After 3rd Okuden Reiju – chant Connection kotodama

After each Shinpiden Reiju – chant Empowerment kotodama

This enables the recipient to become more at one with the energies that the kotodamarepresent.
