Commonly Asked Questions
What is Reiki?
- Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports overall well-being by channeling universal life force energy. The word "Reiki" combines two Japanese words: "Rei", meaning universal or spiritual wisdom, and "Ki", meaning life energy. Practitioners use gentle, non-invasive touch or hover their hands over specific areas of the body to facilitate the flow of this energy, helping to balance and align the recipient's physical, emotional, and spiritual states.
How does Reiki work?
Reiki works on the principle that life force energy flows through all living beings. When this energy is blocked or depleted, it can lead to imbalances and dis-ease. By channeling Reiki, the practitioner acts as a conduit, helping to remove blockages, restore balance, and encourage the body's natural healing processes. Reiki is safe, gentle, and effective, making it suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions.
What is the class size?
Class size is limited to 15 students. There is a minimum of 5 students to hold the training. If minimum requirement is not met, refunds will be given.
What is the attunement process and why is it important?
The attunement process is a sacred and integral part of Reiki training, especially in Level 1. It is a spiritual initiation performed by a Reiki Master that connects the student to the universal life force energy, allowing them to channel Reiki for themselves and others. During the process, the Reiki Master uses specific techniques to activate and open the student’s energy channels, clearing blockages and aligning their energetic system to receive and work with Reiki.
This process is important because it creates a lifelong energetic connection to Reiki. Unlike learning a skill or technique, the ability to channel Reiki energy is activated during the attunement, which cannot be achieved through study alone. It also initiates a period of personal growth and energetic clearing, often referred to as a "21-day cleansing process," as the student's body and mind adjust to the higher vibrational energy.
The attunement is not just a technical procedure but a deeply spiritual and transformative experience. It marks the beginning of the student's Reiki journey, empowering them to facilitate healing for themselves and others while deepening their connection to universal energy.
Can I work professionally with a level 1 training?
After completing Level 1 Reiki training, you will be able to practice Reiki on yourself, friends, family, and pets, but it is not typically considered sufficient for professional practice. Level 1 focuses on self-healing and hands-on techniques for direct application, laying the foundation for personal and spiritual growth.
To use Reiki professionally, you’ll usually need to complete Level 2 (Okuden) training, which introduces advanced techniques, including the use of Reiki symbols and distance healing. Many professional Reiki practitioners also complete Master-level training for additional depth and credibility.
That said, Level 1 can be an excellent starting point for integrating Reiki informally into your existing work if you’re a wellness practitioner, such as a yoga teacher or massage therapist. However, if you plan to offer Reiki as a stand-alone professional service, Level 2 or higher is generally required. Always check local regulations and guidelines, as they may vary regarding energy healing practices.
