Some people learn Reiki to heal their bodies and minds, others learn it to find a source of spiritual connection. I am going to be truthful with you. I learnt Reiki because I was just plain curious. Like I mentioned earlier, I am a hardcore cynic (or at least was) till Reiki transformed me into a more trusting and open-to-experience kind of a person. But I digress. I wanted to learn Reiki because I wanted to see if I could really learn the art of healing with my bare hands. It seemed pretty extraordinary to me. Being able to shoot out powerful healing vibrations was something that had never crossed my mind. By God's grace I found the opportunity to learn Reiki, that too from my mother-in-law, who happens to be a Reiki Master.
There are 3 levels in Reiki. The first degree, second degree, and then comes the Master degree. You will need to do one more course in addition to these 3 to become a Reiki Guru/Teacher, who can take students and teach them Reiki. I received my first degree in July 2011, in the holy city of Rishikesh. Every Reiki practitioner needs to be attuned by their Reiki Guru in order to be prepared for learning Reiki. By attuning the student the Reiki Guru opens up their inner energy channels and make them present to the healing power of Reiki. It is important to choose the right teacher for this process. You should be at peace and at ease with your Guru/ Teacher. Being open to the entire process and following the instructions to a T is also extremely important. Even though you might have your inhibitions about the process, you need to be open-minded and ready to learn in order to grasp this sacred art of healing, properly.
More on my attunement and transformation in my next post.
