It is a very particolar degree, which gives you emotions and feeling very difficult to explain. You can perceive Energy in a physical way, you can send it where you want and you reach a sensitivity that you have never tried before.

In the third degree you learn specific techniques of treatment (for example how to treat heart, circulation, stomach and pressure problems). You learn Reiki massage, too, a method based on strocking and pattering.
