The Reiki 2 course adheres to traditional reiki requirements and it includes additional holistic healing techniques: intuitive healing, working with trauma/abuse and past/future lives, manifesting, inner and skin scanning methods, energy ball and the manifesting circle. While many of these methods are from various books, some I developed with colleagues and/or students.

Distant Healing Techniques: After discussing the theory of distant healing, the group practices sending healing and scanning with each other. We also learn and practice sending remote healing to an individual, couple or family. The class explores how to use visualization, photographs, newspapers/magazines, x-rays and art with distant healing. We discuss the application of surrogates e.g. a teddy bear or your knee and how to use active methods like house cleaning to send healing. We also talk about how to successfully approach distant healing as business. The course covers how reiki can be used to send healing to future, previous abuse and past/future lives. Students also learn how to send healing to upcoming appointments, confrontations or operations.

Intuitive Healing: The course also covers the five intuitive pathways: clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognisance, clairsentience and dreams. We discuss which ones are more reliable means of obtaining accurate intuition and how to use them with a healing session.

Hand Scan, Skin Scan, and Inner Scan: Hand scanning involves feeling for areas that are out of balance emotionally or physically by sensing energy with the palms. In my Reiki one course, people learn how to perform a hand scan and we review it in level two. Students learn how to do an inner scan and skin scan to assess the client’s energy field and determine where to work to balance it.

Skin scanning and inner scanning are methods that can be used to provide an ongoing assessment throughout the session to guide the healer's practice. Skin scanning is a method I developed to determine areas in need of balancing by paying attention to skin temperatures. The inner scan is an empathic technique for connecting with the client's emotions and sensations to determine what areas need energetic balancing.

Cord Cutting: I developed Cord Cutting with a friend to help people to overcome negative attachments from previous relationships. This could be a romantic relationship that ended, but is difficult to overcome. It is also useful to helps trauma survivors heal from sexual assault or childhood sexual abuse. Cord cutting can also be used to disconnect from challenging relationships with family or supervisors.

The Symbols: There are 3 symbols traditionally explored at the Reiki level: the Cho Ku Rei, Say Hay Ki and the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. The symbols are used in multiple ways including room clearing, in a session, for self healing, distant healing, to balance emotional issues and to heal unwanted habits. The class learns how to draw each symbol and we discuss their application.

Manifesting: Students learn how to use Reiki with personal goals to attract love and prosperity into their lives. We begin with a Reiki Ball and then graduate to a manifesting circle using the ‘Pink Bubble’ method.

Meditations: The Reiki 2 guided meditations include: a Meta Meditation (for world healing), Meeting Your Reiki Guide, and the group’s choice of two other meditations from a list of other inspiring options.

Attunement: Each student also receives the Reiki 2 attunement.
