A thread for Reiki Practitioners

jeeeez, I was thinking abut learning Reiki since I think is a great way to help others, and started to search on the internet about schools near my city... and I can't believe why they charge TOO MUCH money for this... I mean, it's suppousedly a technique to help others... why would someone charge this much for lessons? I mean, the cheapest was like 300 USD, and here that's plain stupid. They're leaving Reinki just for rich people and I find it a little unfair. C'mon, you can live pretty well with 300USD a complete month here! and maybe more. And living well, even having some little pleasures like go outside for dinner and the like... I got very dissapointed about it... and that was the cheapest. I found one who charged like 1k USD for 3 classes. 3 freaking classes!
Life's so unfair =(

I am very interested in having an attunement done. I recentley went to someone and the experience did not match the expectations. The session lasted less than 5 minutes. I felt her hands heat up, but a lack of energy moving in and through me. I am sensitive to energy changes. I see the wonderful community that has sprung up here and the love that is given. I know the love that I give becomes the love I receive. Namaste

Maybe you can find an online class and teacher, nomally they are much less expensive.

They give the attunements through a remote ceremony and it DOES work very well.

Hi redwoodjedi, firstly I would like to say I admire your decision to disseminate this skill for free, and secondly, I have some questions. I was attuned to lvl 1 without my knowledge or permission by my ex-partner about 5 years or so ago (she was supposed to be giving me a treatment for a sore shoulder, but she said the reiki spoke to her and told her to attune me). Now, there is a lot of bad blood between us, and I have heard on good account that my ex-partner uses this gift as a tool of seduction, basically causing the subject to feel 'nice' in her presence, and as a result I have never tried to take it further. I still have the CD and study material she gave me, and I was wondering, does a lvl 1 attunement wear off so to speak, if you haven't done the follow-up exercises? Also, is there any possibility this energy could be 'tainted' as a result of my negative feelings for my ex, or by her mis-use of it?
I know this thing works, and has definite physical effects and benifits, I have felt the tingly heat, and the raging thirst after a treatment, and I have had relief from pain by it. I would like to use this myself, but my negative feelings around the subject have always stopped me.
Do you think I should follow the instructions in the manual, or perhaps seek another attunement from a 'clean' source? Without going into detail I am just emerging from a pretty dark place, and would like to use reiki as a means of self-repair, and I would like to be able to use it to help my friends. What do you think I should do?

Hi all, I found this thread while searching for info about Reiki. I have had a keen interest in healing forever and recently sat exams to enable me to practise Reflexology and now I would like to learn more about Reiki and incorporate both practises.
I thought it would be a good idea to revive this thread and compare experiences. I'm off to read the OP's website and will pop back later. Please feel free to post anything reiki related

Namaste
