Third Reiki Level (3A)
Dai Ko Myo - The Third Level 3A of the Original Method of Dr. Mikao Usui
THE SEMINAR OF THE ENCOUNTER WITH DAI KO MYO THE GREAT SHINING LIGHT, HEART OF REIKI
DAI KO MYO: LIGHT AND SILENCE
Some Reiki Practitioners, after having long explored the possibilities and potentials of the Second Level, simply wish to complete their energetic training for personal growth, driven by an even deeper need to connect with themselves in a "place" that is the very heart of Reiki: Dai-Ko-Myo.
The Third Level (3A) in a sense completes the Reiki circle, moving from the MANUAL PHASE (First Reiki Level) to the CREATIVE PHASE (Second Reiki Level), culminating in the EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL PHASE, which is the essence of Reiki, the "Great Shining Light," Dai-Ko-Myo.
The First Level introduces an intentional attitude of non-doing, as it is the energy itself that acts appropriately where it is needed, and the Reiki Practitioner, with presence, a loving attitude, and listening, simply places their hands and trusts in the intelligence and rebalancing action of the energy.
The Second Level introduces a different attitude that involves the presence of direction, the intentional use of will, and personal responsibility: essentially, it involves doing.
As if it were a supreme synthesis of a thesis and antithesis—which, however, are not in opposition—the Third Level opens the door to the dimension of a higher and more conscious non-doing, a letting go, a dynamic balance of relaxation and concentration, a merging with the energy itself. One who grasps the spirit of Reiki lives this non-doing by creating emptiness within themselves (setting aside worries, needs, desires, goals) to allow the energy to flow fully, to become one with it, to grasp the fullness of Silence.
However, achieving the Third Level within oneself does not lead to passivity, letting things happen on their own; rather, it ensures that one's actions never overshadow the voice of feeling, the heart, the spirit. The inner direction guiding them on a path with heart does not involve judgment; it brings them face to face with things as they are, in the here and now, without presumption, guilt, or fear.
Through this same path, Dai-Ko-Myo fosters the growth and maturation of trust and the deep certainty that as long as there is inner balance, the "right" thing will always happen.
The Third Level attunement transmits a new powerful impulse for growth; it engages one's emotional and spiritual spheres, while also making perception even more sensitive and subtle. Naturally, all of this requires even greater balance and responsibility—though it simultaneously encourages these qualities—because personal presumption, self-importance, and the "art of self-deception" are always lurking and can contaminate one's feeling, the voice of the most authentic dimension, at any moment.
The Third Level "invites" the Reiki Practitioner to a continuous "journey" of exploration and meditation into their intimate spiritual dimension and facilitates contact with suprasensory realities.
