Reiki 2 works on a much more emotional and psychological level, what it does is it helps you out with feelings of anxiety, feelings of depression, if you’re hurt because you just lost someone or you just ended a relationship. Anything that is traumatizing in your life can be taken care of with reiki 2.
Another thing that is special with Reiki 2, and I know this sounds a bit weird, is that you can do distant healing. That’s something that, if i get a call from someone, and they say that their tooth is aching, I can perform distant healing. I don’t even do it over the phone, they hang up and I can perform the distant healing.
One of the symbols of Reiki 2 is healing the past, the present and the future. You are healing things in your past, from early childhood, and in the present and even in the future. I know it sounds a bit unconventional, but it works.
