About Reiki
Reiki is an ancient method of energy healing. It was rediscovered by Mikao Usui in Japan in the late 19th century. Anyone can learn how to use this simple, effective healing technique. Therefore no previous knowledge or training is required.
Reiki works on every level of your being. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It is a very natural, simple method that everyone can use. There are many benefits in having reiki at your fingertips. It encourages and supports a more positive personal outlook. In addition it enhances inner harmony and wellbeing.
Considerations when choosing a teacher.
If you are new to Reiki and unsure of which teacher to train with, firstly consider what you are going to be using Reiki for.
If it is primarily for self-empowerment and healing loved ones, then a Reiki Level One course that provides a good grounding in theory and practice will be perfectly adequate. Your certificate will come from your Reiki teacher and will enable you to practice Reiki on yourself and your loved ones.
If you are considering adding Reiki to your healing modalities and using Reiki professionally as a sole trader you can do this with the next level of training Reiki Level Two, provided that it is face to face training (online courses will not allow you to register with Reiki Associations at present. Your certificate will be awarded by your reiki teacher on completion of case studies and a period of self healing. This will enable you to work as a Reiki practitioner and gain insurance.
If you are planning to become a teacher and attune others to reiki you can accomplish this by taking Reiki Level Three, which is Master level. Your certificate will be awarded by your reiki teacher on completion of case studies and a period of self healing. This will enable you to work as a Reiki teacher and gain insurance.
Should you choose to train with me you can be assured that I am a fully qualified, experienced and insured Reiki master teacher and have been providing professional Reiki training courses for over 20 years. Full support is given to all students from beginner to mastership along with high quality, comprehensive training materials.
I am familiar with the National Occupational Standards for Reiki and have a good understanding of their core curriculum. I incorporate their requirements into my teaching and use them as the basis for designing and delivery of all of my training courses.
The UK Reiki Federation Guidelines state: “Those teaching Reiki should be qualified Reiki master teachers. It is recommended that anyone teaching Reiki should have used Reiki for a minimum period of twelve months, as it is our view that to teach, one should have sufficient experience of using Reiki on oneself and on others. If teaching to the National Occupational Standards then Reiki master teachers should be familiar with the ethos of NOS in general and have a working understanding of the NOS for Reiki.”
Accreditation
You do not need any special accreditation to practice Reiki as a therapist or a Reiki teacher in the UK. Reiki is still an unregulated field with individual Reiki teachers creating and certifying their own courses. With any certificate (as long as your attunements are done face to face) you will be able to get insurance and register with a Reiki Association to practice Reiki as a therapy in private practice (ie as a sole trader)
If, however, you are planning to work in the NHS or in a hospice/care home/charity and get paid a salary for providing Reiki, you would need to be registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council. This is a voluntary register for therapists who have met certain practitioner standards. These standards are quite arduous including 9 months of training, 75 documented Reiki treatments on others, 100 documented treatments on yourself, 5 practical treatment observations, an exam and assessments via an external assessor.
This level of training is often classed as Professional Practice Reiki Practitioner.
Currently there are very few jobs that pay a salary for Reiki, so realistically the majority of practitioners offering Reiki do so in the private sector, and are not CNHC registered.
I am a qualified, experienced and fully insured reiki master/ teacher, however my training courses are not currently accredited to CNHC level by choice.
