Reiki Training FAQs
________________________________________________________________
Q: Can anyone learn Reiki?
A: Yes, anyone can learn Reiki. I have mothers, fathers, grandmothers,
secretaries, managers, nurses, individuals with chronic medical conditions, and family caregivers that learn Reiki. Through
the attunement, the Reiki Master passes on to the student the ability
for Reiki energy to flow from the student's hands. Therefore, the
ability to practice Reiki is not dependent on the student's education
nor skills. It is through the classroom discussion and practice that
you learn various techniques and hand positions, however, I encourage
my students to develop their own style. Reiki energy is self-guided and
goes to where it is needed most in the person's body.
Q: When would I use Reiki?
A:
You can use Reiki in your every day living! First of all, treat
yourself for your own self-care and wellness. Treat your
children/grandchildren that are having problems sleeping/nightmares,
low self-esteem, and so on. Treat other family members, friends, and
even your pets. Just 5-10 minutes of Reiki can be beneficial for a
co-worker that is stressed or has a headache. I am sure you know of
someone with anxiety, chronic conditions, going in for surgery, or
under going cancer treatments that you could give a few minutes of
Reiki to in a chair or laying on a couch. Reiki can be done any where
and for any amount of time. We all show acts of kindness by sending a
card, listening to a friend that is going through rough times, or
cooking a meal for someone. Now you can add the beautiful gift of Reiki
to your offering. If you are a medical provider, you can use Reiki for
self-care to avoid burnout, cleanse negative energy out of a room after
each client/patient, put healing energy into a room, and even carry on a conversation while Reiki energy is flowing to the recipient.
Q: How many levels of training are there for Reiki?
A: There
are 3 levels of Reiki certification. Reiki Level I Practitioners can
give themselves Reiki treatments and treat others. Reiki Level II
Practitioners have extra tools they can use to increase the energy that
flows from their hands, send energy that helps with emotional/mental
healing, and the ability to send Reiki distantly (for example, across
the room or across the world). Reiki Level III Practitioners receive
the higher Master energies, work with crystal grids, and other
techniques. Reiki Level III Practitioners have the ability to pass Reiki
onto students (teach). Someone could be a Reiki Master, but not
necessarily teach because it is not in their interest to teach. So how far do you go with Reiki?
You may take Reiki I & II and never go any further. Months or years
down the road you may feel guided to take Reiki III. You take Reiki as
far as you are interested in and you do not have to have a path in mind
-- let Reiki guide you!
