“If I want to share Reiki (spiritual energy) with someone, then I would have to first re-discover spiritual energy within myself.” – Frans Stiene

The foundational concept of Reiki is to allow the flow of life force energy. When someone has spiritual, emotional, psychological, or physical issues, the life energy flow is blocked somewhere. We use Reiki Healing to reestablished the proper flow. We focus on the whole individual who requires healing instead of some particular parts or symptoms.

Working as a Reiki healer, you would use your proficiency to direct healing energy to assist your clients. Once the energy flows, the client will calm down. In turn, this will ease complexities like constant sickness, strain, anxiety, and nervousness. This modality is being increasingly used for rehabilitation programs, mainly in Europe.

A typical session would run for 45 minutes to one hour, during which you would:

  • Evaluate the client medical history and complaints
  • Ensure the client is as at ease and relaxed
  • Clarify the procedure
  • Lay your hands on different areas of the body with the intention of covering up the entire body.

As a Reiki practitioner, you would not analyze client’s circumstances or counsel them on symptoms or therapy as you are not licensed to do that. Yet, Reiki can benefit them when working in conjunction with traditional medication and other medical protocols.

Qualification, Education, and Experience:

To practice and offer your services to the general public, you must be at a Master level in any Reiki school. It is also beneficial that you are a member of a recognized peer association. There are several depending on where you are in the world. The advantage of such associations is that it comes with certain benefits and readily available support from other experts in your field.

As for your education, you may be mentored by a master teacher. In some places, you can become a Reiki Master by taking college courses. The training you will receive will vary depending on the Reiki School in which you enrolled. During your training, you will receive attunements that will unlock your ability to transmit energy. You will be meeting with your mentor to practice and learn the trick of the trade. You will also learn the do and don’t and have the opportunity to ask questions. Soon you will develop your intuition and know what to do during a session and how to adjust depending on the client’s needs.

During your training, you will go through three levels:

  • Level one, attune for self-treatment.
  • Level two attune to work on clients.
  • Level three attune as a master. Depending on your school, you may have to go through another level to become a Reiki Master Teacher.

In most instant, it takes about three years of education and training to attain the level of Master Teacher.

Since you will be dealing with all aspects of an individual, You may find it advantageous to expand your education in physiology and anatomy.

Working Conditions:

As a Reiki healer, you will have two options either working for an organization like a healing center as an employee or a self-employed freelancer. As such, you may have more flexibility in your schedule. However, you will have to do your own promotion and marketing to get clients.

  1. Juan-
    Enjoyed the explanation. You obviously have great knowledge and passion. I have used Reiki for years- am level 1 attuned though I am also able to work on others to relieve pain. i don’t do that often- just when the occasion arises. I did not see a call to action in your ending. That would have been powerful.

  2. Juan, thanks so much for bringing attention to Reiki. I’ve been lucky to experience it several times. It’s a profound experience.
