If you are looking for information on Reiki teachers, it probably means that you are either looking for a Reiki teacher or intending to become a one (or both). So let me address each possibility one at a time.  Reiki Teachers

Firstly, if you are looking for a Reiki teacher, what would you do? Reiki teachers are those who have attained the title of Reiki Master (which is what they are known as). These people have undergone all levels of Reiki training successfully and are eligible to initiate others into the practice of Reiki. Coming under the tutelage of a Reiki Master can either be done by joining his class (which most likely is in a Reiki school) or engaging him to train you personally. Either case, here are some of the things to look for when considering which Reiki Master to appoint as your tutor.

The Reiki Master must be one who is suitably qualified and currently practicing Reiki. Ask him to show you his certificate. His certificate should state a level of 3B or say that the holder is a Reiki Master Teacher. Anyone with some basic Reiki knowledge can pose as a Reiki Master, so it’s important to ask for certification. Furthermore, it is important that the Reiki Master be an ongoing practitioner so ask him whether he regularly practices Reiki himself.

Make sure you are comfortable with the Reiki Master’s class. Visit the school if possible before signing up. Look at the environment. Ask if it is possible for you to sit into one of his classes. If that is not possible, at least ask the Reiki Master about how he conducts his classes. The Reiki method of training involves teaching and attunement, which is the act of transferring the ability to channel Reiki energy from Master to student. Some Reiki Masters give hands-on practice to students so that they gain more confidence in using the Reiki techniques. Some only give an attunement after teaching. It is better to learn under a system that involves hands-on training. Reiki Healer

Evaluate the compatibility between yourself and the Reiki Master. Do you both share the same views or convictions on Reiki? Are there conflicts between your religious beliefs? Reiki depends a lot on your personal beliefs thus if what the Reiki Master teaches goes against your own personal convictions, then it would be hard for any attunement to take place.

Finally, ask for referrals from previous students. A Reiki Master with a good track record is worth learning under.

Now if you intend to become a Reiki Master Teacher yourself, the requirements are that you successfully undergo the complete Reiki course. The final level is the one where you are trained to attain Master status. Some schools have more stringent requirements than others when it comes to this more advanced level, so choose one which suits you. In some schools you may be required to complete an apprenticeship or stay in the school’s boarding facilities. Others may require you to detoxify your body or deny yourself certain things like entertainment or rich foods.

An alternative to enrolling into a school would be to take up an online course on Reiki. There are advantages to this such as flexibility of time, learning from home and continual updates and tips after the course has ended.  Reiki Masters

Whether you choose to enroll into a class or take up a course online, your first step in becoming a Reiki Master is to get trained in Reiki.

These days there is a greater awareness of the importance of using natural means to cure sicknesses and diseases. We all know the use of drugs and synthetic medicines, while they work fast, tend to result in side effects. Worse still, reliance on drugs may get you addicted to them. As a result, there has been a shift in emphasis towards alternative medicines and methods of healing to deal with sicknesses. Reiki

One of such alternative methods of healing sicknesses is Reiki. Reiki is a Japanese method of healing diseases using touch, thought, symbols and color. The word ‘Reiki’ actually means ‘universal life energy’ in the Japanese language. Reiki principles state that your body is a field of energy. Sickness comes about when the energy in your body is blocked or weakened. This principle is also found in ancient Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese therapies such as Acupuncture. Thus the Reiki method of healing focuses on unblocking the flow of life energy and intensifying it to rid the body of sicknesses. Healing in Reiki takes place when the energy centers in the body, called chakras, are fully energized and promote the proper flow of life energy in the body. Using certain techniques, Reiki practitioners know how to energize your chakras. As a result, Reiki techniques are known to alleviate pains, lower stress levels, strengthen your immune system, increase your energy, improve symptoms of acute and chronic diseases such as asthma and arthritis and assist in your recovery from trauma and surgery.

Do you want to learn how to heal using Reiki methods? You need to enroll into a Reiki healing course. To do so, you can either join a Reiki school or take up an online Reiki course. Either way, you will be trained in the various techniques of healing by a Reiki Master. This is called attunement. Healing in Reiki comes about by using your hands, thinking in certain ways and using ancient Reiki symbols. Each of these symbols has their individual meaning and use in promoting healing and wellbeing. The differences between enrolling in a Reiki school and taking up a Reiki course online are basically cost and convenience.

The cost for online courses is generally less expensive than enrolling in a school. Taking up a course online is also more convenient as you can learn at your own pace and at the comfort of your own home. But enrolling in a Reiki school, while more expensive, gives you the advantage of learning from a Reiki Master live.

Often, this is more effective and thus you will likely become more competent and proficient in Reiki at the end of the course. Reiki Master
