Reiki classes are everywhere; they are taught in new age
bookstores, at nursing and massage school, in private homes, and even on
the Internet. Classes vary in cost and form. Finding the right class
and right teacher can be challenging, but with a little effort, anyone
can find the right Reiki class for them.
For those who are still on the fence about taking a Reiki class, there are many wonderful reasons for doing so. Reiki practice is a wonderful way to relieve stress in yourself and others. Energy healing is one of the few alternative therapies that has no contraindications; energy healing is safe for anyone and everyone - and will not interfere with any of your Doctor's prescribed treatments. Reiki is one of the more accessible forms of energy healing available to the public. While prices vary, with a little effort, anyone can find a Reiki class that fits their budget - yes, even free.
Above all other factors, a recipient needs to be compatible with their teacher. A good teacher-student relationship is critical to the success of a Reiki class. Some teachers take a more clinical approach, targeting nurses and massage therapists looking to acquire CEUs for their trade. Other teachers are much more spiritual in their Reiki classes, relying on feelings and intuition. Neither method is wrong; Mikao Usui was very intuitive in his practice, while Chujiro Hayashi, his student, was a naval physician and took a more clinical approach. Students simply need to find the teacher that is right for them.
The types of classes available are varied. Some classes meet once a week for an hour or two over a period of weeks while others meet for a single weekend. In addition, there are some teachers who teach the class over long distance, using telephones or the Internet to connect with their students. What classes are available to you will depend on your geographic region, though distance classes are generally available to anyone. Most students will benefit greatly from a live class, but there are many wonderful distance learning classes available as well.
Hawayo Takata began initiating Reiki students to teacher level in 1970; prior to that she was the only person teaching Reiki in the West. Between then and her death in 1980, she initiated twenty-two students to teacher level. When she passed, most of these students went on teaching Reiki in their own particular style and manner. Additions were made and other things eliminated leaving us with twenty-two different versions of Reiki. And their students also began incorporating new items and eliminating old ones, causing more and more different versions of Reiki.
Soon, Reiki teachers began developing totally new styles of Reiki based on other symbolism. New symbols were added to the original four, and new techniques were incorporated. In the end, they all generally have the five core components; 1. The Five Principles, 2. Meditation practice, 3. Hands on Healing Practice, 4. Symbols, and 5. Reiki attunements. Students should explore the various systems available to them. Any system that incorporates those five components and also resonates with the student is a class worth taking.
A class in Reiki is a wonderful way to learn about energy healing. The classes are accessible to pretty much everyone. After selecting the right teacher and system of Reiki that best fits with their own personal style and beliefs, students can begin a wonderful journey in life of a Reiki practitioner.
