Learn Reiki at Home

The truth of the matter is, classes are great if you can afford them, they are given close by, and you have the time to attend them. They are also good for interaction with your peers. Today, with all the print media, Internet information, chat room exchanges, Reiki forums, etc. that make Reiki teachings available, you have options. Just as you can receive an education in many subjects online or by correspondence (or a combination of both), it's the same with Reiki. You do not need to be taught in person anymore to learn Reiki. Of course, years ago when Reiki teachings were not accessible the way they are now, this was not a false belief.

This turn of events is great because it gives people access to learning Reiki when in the past, because of circumstances or money issues, many may not have been able to do so. Reiki books and DVDs are one of the options to learn Reiki at home and at your own pace. If you want to take a class, by all means, do so. Just keep an open mind to all other sources of Reiki teachings available that you can include in your healing and learning journey.

Distance Attunements Do Work

There is hypocrisy with Reiki Healers who say Reiki Long Distance Attunements do not work. I say hypocrisy because healers that state this will turn around and teach long distance healing and state it will work. The only problem with this is long distance healing uses the same concept as long distance attunements.

The healers that support the belief Reiki Long Distance Attunements do not work usually cite views expressed by other Masters who have a vested interest (charging fees and sometimes large fees at that) like themselves in passing attunements in person. What's sad, most of the Masters that use this belief (long distance attunements do not work) know it's false. A few Healers try to get around the potential of bad karma of not telling the truth by stating that long distance attunements do work, but not very well, and should only be used as an experiment or in emergencies.

I would love for one or a group of these healers who deny long distance attunements work to address the tens of thousands of healers around the world (maybe in a stadium) who have received attunements via DVDs, video, Internet, etc., and who have healed themselves and others and are doing great healing work. What would or could they say to this huge audience? "Non-healers, you all are lying or mistaken about your healing. And even if you have healed yourself or others it's not the correct way. But there's hope for you. Take my class and Reiki Attunements and your healing will be correct."

The bottom line is attunements work just as well in person as from a distance, and most of the Reiki Masters that deny this know it is true. And if they do not, they are lacking in Reiki teachings and I will take the opportunity now to enlighten them.

First of all, Reiki Attunements are done on an energetic level rather than a physical one. All Reiki Masters have to agree on this. The only physical touching that can be done is tapping of the hands, touching the shoulders, and blowing air, which is really optional. All that is needed for the Reiki Attunement to be successfully passed long distance is the ritual (attunement) that includes the Reiki Master's intent (belief) to give a Reiki Attunement and the recipient's intent (belief) to receive the attunement.

Now these healers (the ones that state long distant attunements do not work) might say I have a vested interest in my Reiki DVD attunements, and of course I do, but there are some big differences with what I believe. I feel a person should receive a Reiki Attunement any way they prefer and/or can afford. All options to receive attunements will work and my DVD attunement programs are one of the options. And I am interested in as many people as possible in whatever way they choose being able to have Reiki Attunements.

This is a big world and there is plenty of room and a great need for all Reiki Healers regardless of their beliefs and teachings. All Reiki Healers and Masters should focus on the healing at hand (no pun intended) and not be judgmental of anything, least of all Reiki

Who Can Be a Reiki Healer?

Reiki is a very simple technique to learn and is not dependent on one having any prior experience with healing, meditation, or any other kind of therapy. Anyone can become a Reiki Healer if they receive an attunement. You do not have to have a certain belief system, be spiritual, or have a religion, nor do you need to engage in elaborate studies of Reiki for it to work, but you will find yourself seeking more information on Reiki and sharing experiences and techniques with other healers after becoming one yourself. You will find your life altered for the best and usually will develop a higher level of consciousness and spirituality.Everyone can naturally channel this life force to a certain extent. There are even a few gifted natural healers who have never received a Reiki Attunement. Some successful healers have been attuned to this life force in a different method because of their culture, but Reiki Attunements are needed and used by most people to open, focus, and increase their natural abilities with this life force. Once you start a Reiki journey, in addition to healing abilities, you will find your life altered for the best and usually will develop a higher level of consciousness and spiritual awareness.
