Starting a Reiki Journey

In most instances, people choose a Reiki teacher by recommendation of a friend or acquaintance, however, being a spiritual practice, it is best to let your intuition guide you to meet the right teacher for you. You should feel comfortable in the presence of your teacher and have an open communication channel with him / her.

It is important to note the different approaches to teaching and to be able to exercise your right to free will and therefore freedom to choose your own beliefs and Truth. No-one should impose their views on you as 'Gospel Truth', you must be free to find your Truth without fear.

Our intuition is a fantastic tool to assist us with this quest to find the right teacher so it is best to use it. Do your homework and research until you are comfortable that you have found the right one. Have you ever heard that "When the student is ready the teacher appears?"

Hands-on Healing

Energy Healing

We all use our hands to heal whether we realize it or not. When we hug someone to reassure them, when we touch a child's injury to ease their pain, etc, these are all forms of energy healing because we are consciously channelling it through our caring and unconditional love for others when we are propelled to do so by our inner feelings. We have all experienced easing of pain when we have a headache and automatically raise our hands and hold the painful area and soon afterwards the pain eases a little.

In this instance we are using our stored energy banks which with time can be depleted causing additional discomfort and illness. When we are trained and attuned to use Reiki, the energy is channelled and passes through the practitioner and onto the client, all the while benefitting the practitioner as well as the client. All Reiki pratitioners feel a sense of calm and profound relaxation after a Reiki session on someone else.

The hands-on healing of Reiki is unique in the simplicity of learning the method. The Reiki energy is immediately accessed by the practitioner and the energy flows fast and strong from the first attunement. This energy is accessed instantly the moment the practitioner states the intent to use it.
