Reiki Treatment FAQs

Q1. How Does Reiki Work?
A1. First consider our bodies like forms of energy and light. The way we interact with our environment and with others, as well as our actions and thoughts, all determine the harmonious function of our bodies. All of these factors determine whether our experience is of health and balance or ill health and stress. Through negative actions, thoughts or 'Karma' this vibration rate becomes out of balance. When this happens the result is illness. Reiki works by re-attuning the bodies own vibrational rate to that of a healthy and harmonious vibration. when Reiki energy is administered, through a qualified practitioner, the practitioner simply acts as a channel for the healing energy to transfer through himself/herself to the recipient.

Q2. Is Reiki Safe?
A2. Yes. Only good can come from Reiki. Reiki is one of the most safest healing methods available. Reiki works in unison with the bodies own ability to heal itself. Most practitioners place their hands on different parts of the body but even this is not totally necessary. The hands could be placed above the area being treated specially if a particular area is sensitive. It is not determined by the practitioner or by you which areas of the body reiki should treat, Reiki will go to where it is needed most. Most practitioners ask Reiki to flow for the highest and greatest good of the recipient. This takes the ego out of the equation.

Q3. Do I Have To Be Ill To Receive Reiki?
A3. No. Reiki is not just for the ill. Reiki promotes well being for the whole body, emotions and mind. Reiki works on the basis of preventative medicines.

Q4. What Does One Experience During a Treatment.
A4. As you would expect, experiences differ from one person to the next. These are some of the most common experiences people report.
Visual Perception: Seeing or perceiving colours, visual imagery such as shapes, symbols, swirling patterns and other imaginary images.
Auditory Perception: You may experience a heightened increase in sound, if your sensitive. Sounds may appear louder and you may hear the sound of your own heart beating or the flow of blood throughout the body. You may also hear "inner ear" phenomena, such as the sound of the energy flowing through the body. In other cases you may receive guidance in the form of messages, words or ideas, springing to mind, such as inspiration or creative solutions to problems.
Kinaesthetic Perception: One of the most common experiences noticed by those who receive Reiki. This includes the sensation of energy flowing through the practitioners hands. The feeling of warmth or heat and sometimes a cool or a cold stream of energy as well. Recipients may experience tingling, pulsating or twitchy feelings throughout the body. Other sensations may include a heightened awareness of different parts of the body.
Olfactory Perception: Perhaps one of the less common experiences, describes the sense of smell. You may find your sense of smell is more sensitive the usual during or after a Reiki treatment.

Q5. Do I Need To Remove Any Clothes Before a Treatment.
A5. Under no circumstances should either the practitioner or recipient remove clothing. Reiki energy has a direct ability to penetrate through clothing and even plaster casts in the event of a broken bone. Shoes may be removed as the practitioner will require to treat the feet as part of the treatment.

Q5. How Much Do You Charge For Reiki Treatment?
A5. This depends on how many sessions of Reiki treatment you would like.
Each session is approximately between 1 hour to 1.5 hours. For more information take a look at the price list.

Reiki Training FAQs

Q1. Do I Gain Any Qualifications From Learning Reiki?
A1. Once you have attended a class or workshop you are issued a certificate. The certificate states the person has received the attunements and instructions for the particular level / degree. Usually what follows, your Reiki master may assign you practice hours and assignments. Provided the student has completed the necessary requirements they are then given a completion certificate which is part of the larger accredition process. A student is often required to complete a number of logged treatments or clinical practices before they are issued with a certificate.

Q2. What Is a Reiki Attunement?
A2. The actual Reiki attunement is a small ceremony, which creates the alignment, giving the recipient / student the ability to channel Reiki. The Reiki attunements are the energy alignments a master of Reiki gives to a student. Each attunement activates an ability to use Reiki for oneself and others almost immediately.
A good analogy of what an attunement is would be to imagine Reiki energy as a radio signal and our bodies as the radio and radio antenna. When a Reiki master moves our antenna, by means of an attunement, We effectively pick up the station 'Reiki', any previous static that was found on your station is removed and a clear reception found. The end result, the ability to channel Reiki energy.

Q3. Do I Have To Believe In Reiki?
A3. Another amazing thing about the Reiki system is you need not believe in Reiki for it to work. Thus ruling out the placebo effect, the Reiki healing ability can be successfully administered to anyone.

Q4. Can I Heal Myself With Reiki?
Q4. Absolutely, as soon as you have had your first degree training you will have the ability to treat yourself and others. It is strongly advised and encouraged you treat yourself for a cleansing cycle of 21 days before treating anyone else. This is used to detoxify yourself before thinking about treating others. The general law on healing is Healer, Heal Thy Self meaning heal yourself before treating others. This will prevent accidentally transmitting any of your negative energy to the recipient.

Q5. How Much Do You Charge For Reiki Teaching?
