Learning Reiki
The ability to learn Reiki is not dependent on intellectual capacity, or religion. It does not take years of practice. It is simply passed on from the teacher to the student. Because of this, it is easily learned by anyone.
The Attunement
Reiki is not taught in the way other healing techniques are taught. It is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master during an attunement process.
Once you have received a Reiki attunement, you will have Reiki for the remainder of your life. It does not wear off and you can never lose it.
The Reiki attunement can start a cleansing process that affects the physical body as well as the mind and emotions. Toxins that have been stored in the body may be released along with feelings and thought patterns that are no longer useful.
Choosing a Teacher
Choosing a Teacher can be daunting. The Teacher you choose will be a long term partner in your growth. It takes time, effort, and dedication to become an effective teacher. You will need to realise this and to seek out the teacher who is just right for your own needs. A person teaching Reiki (a Reiki Master Teacher) has a special responsibility to their students. It takes experience to become an excellent teacher.
Your search for a teacher should begin from your own area. If you are living within a reasonable distance, it would be easier for travelling.
The teacher must be willing to answer your questions and guide you even after the course. This is very important. Further explanation of this point is given later on this page.
No two Reiki teachers are alike. Each one will have their own teaching style, which does not matter as long as they is committed to "teaching". However, the quality of teaching is important and does matter. Poor or incomplete explanations may leave the student confused with very little or no confidence.
It is not necessary to go to a teacher who has a big so called reputation. You should go to the one you feel comfortable with. If you are bound to receive Reiki, you will ultimately be guided intuitively to a teacher who is right for you.
