Reiki Level 1: The First Degree
Level 1 is an initiation to Reiki and is open to everyone.
The focus during this is, on opening the energy channels on a physical level, allowing the practitioner to connect to the universal life force energy, which flows from the cosmos through the crown of the head and down to the heart and hands.
Many Reiki Masters emphasize self-Reiki as the goal of the Level 1 designation, encouraging students to focus on practicing Reiki themselves, thereby working through their own obstacles.
People experience physical 
symptoms of energy in their palms after the first attunement including tingling, warm or cold.
Typically the Level 1 course also includes an overview of the history of Reiki, hand placements and self and group practice.
