What do I look for in a Reiki teacher and practitioner? It’s a common question…
Here are some guidelines to help you choose an appropriate Reiki Master teacher or Reiki practitioner.
1. Do they have adequate Reiki experience?
- I’ve been practicing Reiki since 2002. I’ve taught Reiki since 2009. I have treated over two thousand people in professional practice. I’ve taught Reiki to hundreds of students.
- I ensure that you have thorough Reiki training and excellent Reiki treatment sessions. I’ve spoken at various health events about the benefits of Reiki and had Reiki articles published.
2. Do they practice Reiki on a daily basis and incorporate Reiki principles into their everyday life?
- Reiki is my No.1 spiritual practice. I have a daily Reiki practice and during your Reiki training, I encourage you too, to practice everyday, if possible.
- As well as hands-on self-Reiki practice I also practice the Reiki principles every day.
3. Are they are a member of a professional Reiki organisation?
- Restore Naturally Reiki courses are recognised by the Australian Reiki Connection and Massage and Myotherapy Australia. If you are a member of M.M.A. you’ll earn 20 CPE points for each Reiki Course you do.
- I have an ongoing relationship with the Australian Reiki Connection and have been invited by them to speak publically about Reiki practice.
4. Do they offer ongoing support after the Reiki course or Reiki treatment?
- After you complete Reiki Level One you receive invitations to join our online Reiki practice groups. During these sessions you’re guided through self-Reiki practice & meditation. The online sessions are a safe and supportive environment that enhances your healing.
- After each level of Reiki you complete you receive 21 days of post-course support via email. These simple Reiki exercises help you to stay connected to your Reiki practice.
- Reiki mentoring is also available to you to support your personal or professional Reiki practice.
- After your training, you can receive a Reiki treatment online or in person.
3. Are they available to speak to you before the Reiki course or Reiki treatment?
- You can make time to receive Reiki treatment before your training.
- I’m available via email if you need to reach out to me before your treatment or training.
6. Does the Reiki course content meet your needs?
- Restore Naturally Reiki Courses are structured so you receive through Reiki training. You complete the course with a solid understanding of what Reiki is and how you can apply it in your everyday life.
- I teach traditional Usui Reiki in a simple and accessible format.
- You receive a comprehensive manual and certificate.
- Restore Naturally Reiki courses include both Western and Japanese Reiki techniques so you receive balanced training.
- I also have a Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies, which focuses on the hara (commonly referred to as your centre). My knowledge of the hara significantly enhances your Reiki training. My unique Reiki Level 3a course teaches you how to operate from your hara so you have more flow and peace. When you operate from your hara your professional Reiki treatments are also enhanced.
7. Trust your intuition. Your inner compass will guide you to the Reiki teacher and practitioner that’s right for you.
- There are different Reiki teachers who offer different types of training. I would suggest learning traditional Usui Reiki, but of course, this is up to you.
- You can get a feel of the teacher and practitioner you choose through their website, social media presence, and their general manner.
- “Sarah is friendly, polite and professional. A great teacher. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to learn Reiki. The Reiki Level One and Two courses are well structured and the teaching was great. I could not ask for anything more. All my questions we answered and my expectations were exceeded.” Sam A., Reiki Level 1 & 2 student 2012.
- If you’ve completed Reiki training elsewhere and have been dissatisfied with your training feel free to join our online Reiki practice groups, or revisit Reiki Level One.
