Instructions

Become an Energy Healing Practitioner

1. Research the different types of energy healing and find one that resonates with you. Popular forms include Reiki, Therapeutic Touch and Quantum Touch. You can learn about energy healing forms at The Energy Medicine Institute (see Resources below).

2. Be aware that every form has different versions, especially Reiki. This is because each teacher adds something to what they were taught and passes it on to their students. The students discover new ways to implement what they have learned which they, in turn, pass on to future students.

3. Find a teacher or practitioner of your chosen energy healing system. In addition to other questions you may have, find out how they trained, where they trained, their experiences with the system and what to expect.

4. Select a class near you for your chosen energy healing system. The cost of tuition will depend on the form you choose, the type of course you choose and where you go. It will vary from moderate to high.

5. Look for classes online. Many of these systems can be taught via the Internet.

6. Expect to pay much less if you take a course on the Internet. Many people offer free Reiki attunements. The only requirement is that you do the same for someone else.

7. Secure an office space.

8. Check for your city's ordinances if you prefer to work out of your home.

9. Obtain a business license and a Tax ID number.

10. Check your state's business regulations for other documents you may need.

11. Print your business cards and start advertising for clients.

12. Find and join a group of professional energy healers for support. You might consider joining a discussion group online.

Tips & Warnings

• Alternative medicine is not meant to replace orthodox medicine. Encourage your clients to continue any medical treatment prescribed until further consultation with their physician.
• Refer your patients to an emergency room or call 911 if they experience such symptoms as chest pains, shortness of breath, panic attacks or bleeding.
• Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary healthcare provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.

Reiki practitioner with lineage from Reiki Master Karen Cameron, who trained under Arthur Robertson, trained by Iris Ishikuro taught by Hawayo Takata, who learned from Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, who was attuned by Mikao Usui.

If others who are ascribing reiki to other methods
newly created, or invented, or intuited, and they are doing good works, as are their students, I am glad they are carrying on some kind of healing work to aid our hurting, wounded and injured world, and our planet, Earth

on 7/11/2009 initiated into the Reiki of the Usui School, physical contact from Master to Initiate is a must, that is how the initiate is opened in level one to do basic healing work, and level 2 for healing over distance, increasing the reiki force, and helping with certain faulty thought processes that are not healthy. Lastly is the 3rd Attunement which passes on the teaching method, and the extra symbol when initiating others.

Poeple making up, divining, intuiting, astrally motivated, etcetera, creating their own reiki symbols
or completely replacing them might be looking at potential problems. These are, of course, my own opinions, based upon interactions with many 2rd generation students after Hawayo Takata over the past 16 years.

Look for classes online. Many of these systems can be taught via the Internet.

There are may forms of reiki now, it seems, everything from Karuna Reiki to Reiki Plus etc. After Diane Stein
published her book with all the symbols, and the rest of it a guide, many people have mixed anything they knew
and put it together with the reiki name. Many Reiki traditionalists who can trace their lineage back to Mikao Usui, have adamantly stated that if it is not Reiki Usui Ryuho, then it is not Reiki.

Another problem that exists, is that some people believe they can give attunements without physical contact, over the phone, over the internet, by email etc. In order to be ...
