One will need a backgammon lay-out or board, two sets of checkers or counters with fifteen "men" each in contrasting colors. Since the game is dependent on dice, two regular-sized pairs of standard dice marked with numbers 1 to 6 and a dice cup to use in rolling dice are required.

The Level I training encompasses how to give a seated chair treatment as well as a table treatment, and what I call field Reiki, the ability to facilitate a Reiki session anywhere needed.

For testing purposes and producing a few phosphenes, a common white light bulb set in a shadeless lamp or a desk lamp will do the job. But as soon as you want to switch to sustained practice, it is better to use specialized equipment.
