Like just about anything else, in order to become a Reiki Energy Healer, one must receive a certain education as such. Now, the process involved tends to vary depending on the tradition being studied or practiced, as well as upon the intent of the new student.
Become a Reiki Energy Healer: What Kind of Training?
Your first step after deciding to become a Reiki energy healer is to determine which style or form you feel most drawn to. Although most traditional forms find their roots in Usui Reiki, there are many, many varied and effective forms available to the aspiring student of Reiki Energy. Some examples might be:
- Crystal Reiki
- Dragon Reiki
- Karuna Reiki
- Kundalini Reiki
- Reiki Aromatherapy
- Usui Reiki
- And many others!
Many of these forms are derivatives of one another and each one has a tendency to match the personality of the one practicing the form, but it is important that you do some preliminary research before deciding on a specific learning path.
Become a Reiki Energy Healer: Commit!
This step in your decision to become a Reiki Energy Healer is actually a compilation of additional progressive steps toward your goal.
1.) Receive Instruction
It involves acting on your decision to train within a specific form or under a certain instructor. Instruction takes time and usually costs money, too. Whatever the cost, though, consider your education in the knowledgeable and effective use of Reiki an investment, because when you become a Reiki Energy healer, it will be one of the most beneficial decisions you have ever made, both for yourself and for those around you.
2.) Practice and Apply
Becoming attuned to Reiki Energy involves frequent exposure to its healing ability and the development of a whole new level of sensitivity, both in your body and in your heart. Practicing Reiki goes far beyond working with its positive effects to heal yourself and others; exposure to Reiki involves a total renewal of your mind. It is a philosophy. Practicing Reiki involves an evolution of sorts and causes you to progress in the direction of love, openness, and positive intent.
Become a Reiki Energy Healer: Certify.
In most cases, in order to become a Reiki Energy Healer, you will need to receive not only instruction and education, but also certification. There are many certified courses available to the aspiring student of Reiki. Certification often allows you to practice legally on your own and, depending upon the form and your progress, may also allow you to teach and attune others.
Certified education can be very costly. When Reiki was first introduced to the West by Mrs. Hawayo Takata, it cost the student of Reiki $10,000 to become a Reiki Energy Healer and certified as an instructor (usually referred to as a Master-Teacher). It has since become more affordable in some arenas and has managed to remain as exclusive and costly in others.
Many options are available to you, but you should be aware that there are ways to become certified as a Reiki Master without the high price tag generally associated with more traditional training and certification methods.
