Learning Reiki requires no special skills, intelligence, experience, or religious beliefs. It is an ability that is in all of us. Consequently it can be learned by ANYONE from the seasoned \"healer\" to a small child. Anyone can learn Reiki and receive benefit from it in all areas of their life.

This is an area of Reiki teachings where you will get a number of opinions. Many teachers have a set time of \"integration\" between levels. For some it is a couple of months between the first and second levels and then up to a year between second and the master level. Others have a different time-table. It is up to each individual student to decide their own pace. There is no time limit between levels. Some students can go through the levels very quickly and others require a period of adjustment between the levels, but either way it is their own decision.

Yes, there can be quite a difference in what and how different Masters teach. The first thing you want to find out is which system of Reiki they are teaching. There are many different systems of Reiki being taught today. The original system is the Usui System of Natural Healing, also known as the Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho. However, there has never been any set curriculum or a National certification program, because of the way in which Reiki is taught varies widely from Master to Master. When choosing a Master to learn from, it is always a good idea to talk with them first. Some of the questions you might want to ask them are:

What system of Reiki do you teach?

How long have you been teaching?

How much hands-on-practice time will I get?

What type of support can I expect after training?

Will I be allowed to audit classes in the future? Is there a fee for this?

How do you use Reiki in your daily life?
Once you have asked these questions and narrowed the list down a bit, decide on the one you have the best feeling about.

. Reiki is not learned in the way many other techniques are learned - through years of study, practice, and guidance. Instead it is transferred from the Reiki Master to the student during what is called an attunement. The attunement opens the crown, heart, and palm chakras as well as creates a very special link between the student and the Reiki source. Once attuned, a student has the ability for life. It will never wear off and is impossible to lose. Again...it is an ability we all have within us. The attunement simply awakens it.
The attunement itself is an incredibly powerful and sacred process. During the attunement, as in a session, the Master acts only as a channel for the energies allowing the energy to guide itself and make adjustments for each student as needed. Because of this, the experience is always different from attunement to attunement and from person to person depending on where each student is in their growth and what that student needs and is ready to receive.

There are three degrees involved in learning Reiki. At each degree you will receive an attunement by a Reiki Master/Teacher. Each attunement allows you to channel more/stronger energy. Each attunement also heightens your intuitional ability and sensitivity.
The attunements are not purely for you to give Reiki to others but are a process toward your own spiritual progress and understanding.
Reiki 1 is primarily about self healing although you are taught how to heal others.
Reiki 2 is about healing others and you will be taught how to heal from a distance. This level allows you practitioner status and you will be able to run your own practice if you wish.
Reiki 3 - Master /Teacher level enables you to teach others and pass the attunements to students. This level carries with it a lot of responsibility and should not be taken lightly. It also speeds up your own spiritual progress remarkably.
In each case you should choose your Reiki Master wisely as this will be a lifetime relationship.
