Reiki Training
‘Reiki’ (pronounced ‘ray-kay’) is an ancient Japanese form of healing therapy that uses hands-on and visualization to bring healing and wholeness. To learn how to use Reiki therapy, you need to be properly trained. Reiki training comprises different degrees or levels of training starting from the Initiate level up to the Master level. Reiki training can only conducted by a Reiki Master. Reiki Training
When it comes to being trained in Reiki, there are a few options open to you. You could engage a Reiki Master to tutor you in Reiki techniques, philosophy, beliefs and teachings from the ground up. This would be the most ideal because you get personalized coaching. Alternatively, you could enroll in a Reiki class and take up a pre-set course with other Reiki enthusiasts. The nature and length of the course would vary from one school to another as each has their own methods and uniqueness. This is more formal and structured and you will likely be awarded a certificate for successful completion of the course. The third alternative is to learn on your own by doing your own research although I would not recommend it. There is a ton of information on the Internet and in books about Reiki. This would make the entire process free of charge but you run the risk of getting things wrong, time delays, discipline problems etc. Furthermore by doing it this way, you can only learn it for your own benefit. Technically, you would not be able to impart the same training to others.
In your Reiki training, you will start from the lowest degree or level and work your way up. In each level you will receive certain forms of training according to the syllabus of the course. These training are called attunements. Some of the attunements you will be taught in the first level are the basic philosophies of Reiki, the Reiki code of conduct, certain skills and techniques like how to hold your hands to transfer the Reiki energy and how to channel the Reiki energy to yourself and others for healing of sicknesses.Reiki Masters
In the second level, you are normally introduced to sacred Reiki symbols, taught what they mean and trained how to use them. These symbols are meant to intensify the Reiki energy that is transferred thus heightening the experience of healing and wholeness. In addition to bringing healing, Reiki can also be used to help you attain calmness, communicate more effectively, give to others, forgive those who have hurt you, enjoy life more and so on.
The third level is where you are trained to become a Reiki Master. As a Reiki Master you would be able to carry out training for others who desire to become Reiki practitioners. Needless to say, the attunement at this level is very difficult. Some people take up to a year or more just to be able to become eligible for this level. Reiki
Reiki training is something you keep with you for life. Once you learn it, you can use it whenever you need to under any circumstances. By doing so you bring health and wholeness to yourself and spread positive energy to others also.
