The characteristics of the first level of Reiki called "Shoden". •It is usually learned in a couple of days. After a purification process. •At this level, there are no symbols. It is a level aimed at absorbing pain and healing. •The ceremony is short, but the student must wait two days before being able to use it. •The initiation is part of the tradition and is an irreplaceable part of Mikao Usui's Reiki method. Without it, only personal energy will be used and not the divine energy of Reiki. •The initiation harmonizes personal energy, at the second chakra, with divine energy, at the seventh chakra: this guarantees a constant supply of energy to one's channels. •The first level of Reiki allows the practitioner to be able to perform through physical contact: basic treatments, self-treatment, quick treatment and treatments on objects and animals. Note: At least three months of practice and experience are required before the practitioner can be admitted to the second level of Reiki.
REIKI COURSES
COURSES ON BOAT or on land
All courses are normally held on S/Y Oceana.
The courses can be carried out either at anchor or at sea (with the addition of the costs of food and accommodation on board).
Finally, it is also possible to take the courses on land, upon agreement and confirmation.
Basic Elements
Reiki, founded in Japan in the early 1900s, aims to support you on a journey of self-discovery. We invite you to our courses that offer various unique styles of Reiki, as studied by the founder of the Reiki Academy, Valerio Curti.
If your interest is to return to the original teachings before they were distorted by Western and New Age manipulation, then these courses are for you! Our four Reiki levels include a combination of study and in-person training to ensure that students receive a thorough training before moving on to the next level. In addition, students are always offered the opportunity to attend regular practice groups.
There are three main levels in the system and a specific course for masters but we also offer transition and realignment courses for those who have trained elsewhere before coming to us.
Spirits of Oceana Courses
The difference between Spirit of Oceana Reiki courses and regular Reiki courses is that the initiation process, course information, and techniques we teach are the original ones that come directly from Japan rather than those that come from the West. The teachings also have a different focus than the current forms of the Reiki system. Our focus is only on personal development and spirituality. The goal of the Reiki Academy is to connect all practitioners to the only true spiritual depth of Reiki.
Reiju, Reiki activation
Rejiu means both “giving spirituality” and “receiving spirituality” and both are valid for Reiki activation. We must now define what spirituality is: if New Age Reiki defines it as a connection with Universal Energy, Usui Reiki and the one practiced by the Reiki Academy consider it as a reconversion to Divine Energy. What for Christians is the Holy Spirit, and for other traditions the Divine Vital Principle.
So the activation consists in awakening an innate ability, the awakening of our inner divine consciousness: to retune ourselves to this potential hidden in every living being, we need an awakening, which can happen during a ceremony, as a sort of initiation, in which a qualified Reiki Master participates. The Reiki activation differs according to the levels and the masters.
Fundamental therefore is the Master for the millenary knowledge that is expressed through him that activates the Energy. The Master opens the energy channels of the initiate and at the same time takes upon himself his negative karma or part of it, thus allowing the student an evolutionary leap.
These ceremonies have a dimension of sacredness and secrecy, as the ritual and formulas are transmitted only orally, from Master to Master.
All the details for each course, including costs, are indicated in the course information sheet.

Course duration
All Reiki courses at the Reiki Academy include in-person classes where students attend seminars and follow-up teachings and study. Traditionally, each of these courses has been thought of as just an introduction to the level - as a result, extremely high levels of ongoing support are offered to all Reiki Academy students.
