In "Komyo Reiki kai" Reiki there are four levels:
Level 1: Sho den
(Beginner's Level) (the Japanese kanji for "sho" means beginner).
Level 1 emphasizes the "healing" aspect of Reiki. Although even Level 1 Reiki can heal other people, the real focus of Level 1 practice is on healing yourself. The reasoning behind this is clear. To be a successful healer of others, you need to be in good health, (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), yourself.

Reiki Level 1
- You are taught the Reiki principles (For today only, do not be angry, do not worry, be grateful, do your work well, and be kind to people (including yourself!)
- You are initiated into Reiki. After this, Reiki healing ability will be yours for the rest of your life.
- No specific training or skill are needed. However, constant and regular practice (especially on yourself) will help you to become an ever stronger channel of Reiki.
- Reiki energy will flow of its own accord. (You cannot direct or manipulate it).
- No conscious focusing (mind concentration) is necessary.
- A Reiki practitioner is not in danger of taking on others' negative energy.
- Reiki can help to supplement other healing modalities.
- Reiki can be given to animals, plants, food or drink, (so as to "correct" or change it. For example, if you give Reiki to wine that doesn't taste so good, you can improve its flavour. Give Reiki to chlorinated tap water to improve its flavour and lessen its toxicity), medicines (to reduce side effects), a room (to clear the energy in the room)
- Reiki is not a belief system at all.
- Reiki's effectiveness is immediate and apparent, especially in the case of a cut, bleeding, burn, bruise and acute pain).
