Traditionally, there are three levels of Reiki practitioner.
- First degree training is usually 8 - 12 hours. The student learns history, standards, protocol, self-treatment and treatment of others.
- Second degree training is usually 4-hours. The student learns distance healing and specific symbols as well as more hands-on training.
- Reiki Master is usually a long and intense training and a Reiki Master is the only level that can teach and initiate students into Reiki.
Most Reiki practitioner professionals are well trained, experienced and practice with integrity. Find someone who suits you and your needs.
Briefly interview the practitioner on the phone before you make your appointment. Here are the questions you need to ask:
- When did you complete each level of training and how many hours were involved?
- Were you physically present with the Reiki master giving the initiations? In person training and initiations are preferred.
- Do you practice daily self-treatment? This is a practice - daily practice is essential.
- How many years experience? Approximately how many people have you treated.
- How do you describe Reiki? A professional should be able to communicate their practice clearly without making claims. This answer will tell you a lot about the practitioner.
- What can I expect during your session?
- What is your fee and how is it to be paid? How long will the session be? Do you have a cancellation policy?
