Information
for New Practitioners
If you are a new practitioner................welcome,
and congratulations on finding Reiki! You are now a part of something
very special. Here you will find information to assist you as
you begin your journey as a Reiki practitioner.
As a
new practitioner, you may have moments when you doubt your own
ability to heal, or the ability of the Reiki energy to work for
you. The key here is to "just do it!" The more you use
Reiki the easier and stronger it will become. Give as many treatments
as you can. Treat yourself, your family members, friends, pets,
even plants and trees! Ask your Reiki guides to assist you, and
have faith. Reiki will teach you all you need to learn!
Following
your attunements, it is very important that you give yourself
Reiki, on a daily basis, for at least the next 21 days. It takes
about 3 days for Reiki to work through the major energy centers
in your body, which are called "Chakras". There are
7 of these "major" chakras, three days for each one,
which gives you the "21 day cleansing process." At each
level of attunement, your vibratory rate is heightened, allowing
you to "tap into" a higher channel of "Universal
Energy." In order for that vibratory rate to be raised, there
has to be a "cleansing" or "clearing" of old,
negative habits and thoughts that inhibit the growth of your consciousness.
This clearing process may be somewhat uncomfortable for you, as
the Reiki is breaking up and working through the blocks that are
preventing your progress. As this happens, and these blocks of
negative energy are released by your physical, mental, emotional,
and Sprititual bodies, you may experience some "side effects"
such as, moodswings, irritability, symptoms of a cold or flu,
diarrhea, and low tolerance for certain kinds of foods. Embrace
this period and understand that it is all part of the process.
Give yourself Reiki everyday to help things along. If you can
only do short 10 minute sessions at a time, remember that some
Reiki is better than no Reiki. I also recommend that you drink
6-8 glasses of water daily during this period, pure water if possible.
After
the cleansing process, it is still very important that you give
yourself Reiki treatments daily. It will strengthen your health
and recharge your energy, and maintain your physical and mental
health, reinforce your Spiritual growth, and help to expand your
awareness. Remember, as a healer, you must make YOU number one!
You must love and heal yourself first, because you are only capable
of giving to others what you would give yourself!
Remember
that there is no wrong or right with Reiki. You may meet another
practitioner who was taught a little differently than you...................that's
okay! Over the years different styles of Reiki have surfaced.
Intent
is the key! Hold Reiki sacred and heal with love in your heart!
You
were taught a series of hand placements for giving a Reiki treatment;
always try to execute all the basic hand positions. However, if
you feel that the recipient needs Reiki in another area that is
not one of the basic hand placements, by all means follow your
instincts!
Hold
each position for 3-5 minutes. When you feel that it is time to
move on to the next position, follow your instincts.
Wash
your hands before and after every treatment. Washing your hands
after a treatment ensures that you disconnect yourself from your
client's energy.
Do not
let your clients cross their legs during a treatment, as this
may block the energy flow.
Take
off your watch and rings before giving a treatment.
Keep
your fingers closed when giving Reiki.
