My Thoughts on Reiki

I'd like to take this first opportunity to introduce myself to everyone and share some of my thoughts on Reiki. I am a Master/Teacher of the Unlimited Reiki System of Natural Healing. Those of you who are already familiar with Reiki healing already know that there are many forms of Reiki available. As many forms of Reiki as there are, there are thousands more people practicing in their own unique ways. In today's time, there is no one right or wrong way to practice Reiki as long as you are practicing ethically. I also want to take the opportunity in this article to discuss my goals with this topic and let you know what to expect in the future.

Different Reiki Systems

I can't begin to go into detail in one article on the different systems of Reiki that are out there today. As I've spoken to different people using different forms of Reiki, I've also discovered that Reiki is Reiki, plain and simple. There are those out there who want to be attuned to every different type of Reiki, learn hundreds of different symbols, and basically have 20-30 different certificates hanging on their wall. Is all this necessary? Absolutely not. Reiki is Reiki is Reiki, plain and simple. I believe that if you know how to use Reiki at all and are practicing any form of Reiki, you don't need to know several different systems. If you are channeling Reiki through you for a healing, you're using Reiki. Reiki is the same no matter what system you use to turn it on.

Attunements & Learning Reiki

There are also a vast number of ways to get attuned to Reiki and become a Reiki practitioner today. You can use the traditional approach and find a teacher in your area who will attune you to their system and continue teaching you everything you need to know. You can also be attuned via distance with a one-on-one attunement from a teacher. There are also people sending mass attunements via distance, as well as people performing self-attunements and practicing Reiki. Self-attunements do lack one vital tool, in my opinion, and that is the teacher who can share their knowledge with you about Reiki.

So What Is Reiki and What's It All About?

If you think you may be interested in learning Reiki or if you already know a little bit about Reiki and would like to think more seriously about it, there is a great deal of information on Suite101 that can help further your studies. Dina Ely, the previous Contributing Editor for this topic, has 17 articles on Reiki that you'll find in the articles section of this topic. There are also other retired Reiki topics with great information here at Suite, and I've listed them below, as well as my own articles which I wrote for Holistic Alternatives, which I've also listed below. After you've read everything we've got here at Suite, I know you'll be ready to go further! That's why I jumped in and adopted this topic.
