Dragon Reiki I is offered through Ethereal Energies by Kristen C. Dietz, and the system and manual come from Andrea Baginski, a Reiki teacher whose training spans Usui Reiki, Ra-Sheeba, TeraMai, Ethereal Crystal, Kundalini Reiki, Imara, Ama Deus, Elementar Reiki, Engel Ki, Gold Reiki, Hawaiian Huna, Isis Seichim, Karuna Ki and the Violet Flame.
Its purpose is stated in one line at the front of the manual: getting reconnected to our elemental forces again with the help of the dragons. Most of Level I is a study of the dragon as a worldwide figure, on the argument that you should know a being before you work with its energy.
The manual gathers the Midgard Serpent of Norse myth that encircles the globe from the ocean deeps, Tiamat of Babylon who personifies the salt water of chaos, the serpent Writa of India, Ra against Apophis in Egypt, Zeus against Typhon, and Apollo's defeat of the Python at Delphi, where the old enemy became a source of oracle.
It notes that for the Chinese the dragon brings blessings and luck rather than terror, and it collects reported sightings from the twentieth century. It then describes the three great dragon families, Earth, Water and Fire, along with their colours, their hierarchy under a Dragon Father, and the way they live.
What this attunement is intended to support:
- It is traditionally used to support reconnection with the elemental forces through the dragons.
- It grounds the practice in the world's dragon traditions rather than in one culture's version alone.
- It introduces the three dragon families, Earth, Water and Fire, so you can recognise which energy you are working with.
- It gives colour associations for the dragons, from the blues and silvers to the reds and the greens and gold.
- It presents the dragon as a source of wisdom rather than only a monster, following the manual's own reading of the Delphi story.
- It forms the first level of a two-part system, with Dragon Reiki II adding the symbols for individual dragon qualities.
What you receive:
- The Dragon Reiki I manual as offered by Ethereal Energies, including its history, mythology and dragon lore sections.
- The Dragon Reiki I attunement in Andrea Baginski's system.
- Descriptions of the dragon families, their hierarchy, their colours and their habits.
Who this is for:
- People drawn to dragon energy who want the mythology as well as the practice.
- Reiki practitioners looking to add an elemental system with a strong narrative behind it.
- Students who intend to continue to Dragon Reiki II and its five dragon symbols.
How it is used:
Read the lore first, since the manual is built on the idea that familiarity with the dragons comes before working with them, and then receive the Level I attunement. From there the energy is used to reconnect with the elemental forces the dragons represent, choosing the family, Earth, Water or Fire, whose quality matches what is in front of you. The manual's own question, are dragons real, is answered with another question, are angels real, and it leaves the decision to the practitioner.
