Reiki courses

The goal of Reiki courses is to ensure that the student learns by practising to naturally and skillfully use the traditional treatment methods taught by Mikao Usui. Reiki has profound influence on people: the learning process and the new issues that surface from within can easily become a turning point in the student’s life. Therefore the teacher carries a lot of responsibility, and has to be able to explain and support the student’s growth process.

It is advisable to spend some time looking for the suitable teacher before enrolling to a Reiki course. Learning Reiki is a unique and personal process where the teacher is a key person. Therefore it is important to meet the teacher in person and know among other things how long the teacher has been practising and teaching Reiki, how does the teacher describe Reiki, in what way the teacher plans to teach Reiki, and also who has taught the teacher you are thinking of choosing.

It is very important to clarify and make sure that the level one course is taught on two separate days, and that the same applies for the level two course. None of the Reiki courses can ever be taught by distance (for example over the internet), or without any personal teacher contact and instruction.

It may facilitate the choosing process if you meet the teacher ⁄s for example during one of the regular Reiki evening group meetings, and ⁄ or book a Reiki treatment from the teacher ⁄s. By following your intuition and common sense the suitable teacher will come along and you can trustingly study Reiki.

The aim of the first course is for the students to understand the two basic dimensions of Reiki. On the one hand, Reiki is about caring for oneself and others, and on the other hand, meditativeness or a spiritual lifestyle. Together, these form the path of Reiki.

The teaching lasts two days, as the course covers a lot of topics, and during the first course, the student receives four different initiations, two of which are given on the first day and the other two the day after at the earliest.
