Where to Start if You Wish to Learn Reiki Healing

Reiki healing is a powerful and gentle form of energy healing that has been practiced for centuries. If you’re feeling called to explore this healing modality, you might be wondering where to begin. In this blog post, we’ll cover the basics of Reiki, the steps to get started, and introduce you to valuable resources like our Reiki Manual 1 (First Degree) and Reiki Manual 2 (Second Degree), perfect for beginners ready to dive into the world of Reiki.

What is Reiki?

Reiki, which means “universal life energy,” is a Japanese healing technique that involves channeling energy through the hands to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The practice is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. When this energy is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and when it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The Basics of Reiki

Before diving into the practice of Reiki, it’s essential to understand its fundamental principles:

  • Five Reiki Principles: These are guidelines for living a more peaceful and fulfilling life. They include:
Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will be grateful.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.
  • Attunements: Reiki is traditionally passed from master to student through attunements, a process that opens and expands the energy channels in the body, allowing the student to channel Reiki energy.
  • Hand Positions: Practitioners use specific hand positions on or just above the body to channel energy to different parts of the body.

Steps to Get Started with Reiki

  1. Learn About Reiki: Start by reading books, articles, and watching videos about Reiki to understand its history, principles, and benefits.
  2. Find a Reiki Master: Look for a reputable Reiki Master or teacher in your area who offers classes and attunements. Personal recommendations and reviews can be very helpful in finding the right teacher for you.
  3. Take a Reiki Course: Enroll in a Reiki Level 1 course (First Degree), which is the beginner level and focuses on self-healing and healing others. This course will typically include an attunement, theoretical knowledge, and practical sessions.
  4. Practice Regularly: Reiki is a skill that improves with practice. Set aside time each day to practice Reiki on yourself and others to enhance your abilities and confidence.
  5. Continue Your Education: After mastering Level 1, consider advancing to Reiki Level 2 (Second Degree), where you will learn more advanced techniques, including distance healing and the use of sacred symbols.
