Reiki Training

What makes a good reiki practitioner?

Intention, Practice and Skills.

First is the intention/cocreation.  You have to hold the intention to be a channel for Ki/Chi/Prana/God.  If someone comes in to this work with the intention to be the healer, to fix other people, to be the saviour, and they aren’t humbly stepping in as a servant of God,  the session will be limited to that human’s physical capabilities.  In Reiki, we always hold ourselves as the channel and as the servant.  We are calling in a miracle… we are calling in something beyond our ordinary human powers.  We are asking God to move through us.  In striving to be the healer we limit ourselves.  IN softening to allow life to move through us, we call in a power beyond our own.  We have to take ourselves to zero in order to merge with the One/ the infinite.  

 

Second is simply practice.  How committed is this person to the lifestyle of Reiki.  Do they live and breathe it to the best of their ability both in and out of sessions?  Have they experienced the ups and downs of a consistent practice?  Have they developed a strong enough foundation that they can stop overthinking their sessions and start being moved by something greater.   You can literally pay $20 and do an online reiki course in a day and call yourself a reiki master.  But you’re still in the thinking phase and have literally mastered nothing.  You are a beginner.Joe Dispenza speaks of a formula for mastery - with any skill we move from thinking to doing to being.  First we think about what we are creating - learn the theory, read the books, gather info, create a vision.  Then we move into doing… this is where we put the theories into practice.  We do the thing.  In this case, you engage purposely in self reiki and start seeing clients.  You will still need to be very much in your thinking brain to remember what to do, what’s next, how do I do this thing, how to I support a client with certain condition etc.  

 

The next phase you start to move into a state of being… you have practiced so much that the skill becomes automatic.  You don’t have to use your thinking mind to remember what to do, you don’t even consciously think about what you do, it just happens.  Your awareness is then free to focus on something else, because you don’t need to focus on physical task.  As a reiki practitioner, this means that your awareness and energy can shift from doing to perceiving… from acting to noticing… this is when you start to pick up the subtle energy shifts, you start to see the shifting of their breath or the restlessness in their body, or tune in to clairs… you are able to shift into a receptive intuitive state because you aren’t stuck in your head trying to do it right. 

 

Finally - experience/skill sets.  This builds off the previous.  Have you practiced enough to develop your skills as a reiki practitioner.  And when you feel confident and effortless in your reiki skills, have you expanded your other skills and knowledge base to further help your client?  Example - nervous system… do you understand how the nervous system works?  Do you know how you can use guided breath or meditation to shift a client out of the physiology of anxiety?  Do you know how to use sound to shift stubborn energetic holding patterns?  Have you developed your intuitive capabilities so that you understand the subtle messages coming through?  Do you know how to use touch and breath and sound and imagery and scent etc to better meet your client’s needs at that moment?  Do you have a level of mastery that allows you to adapt your treatment plan when what comes up is totally different than what was expected?

 

Those are my top 3 differentiators between amazing reiki practitioners and not.
