Hi everyone,

I’m interested in learning more about Reiki and considering enrolling in a course soon. I’ve heard that the quality and style of instruction can vary a lot, so I want to make sure I choose the right path. Can anyone share their experiences or recommend reputable Reiki training programs, either in-person or online?

I’m especially curious about what to expect during the training, how long it usually takes, and whether certification is truly valuable. Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your guidance on Reiki training.

Reiki training usually comes in levels, starting with Level 1 for self-healing and basic techniques, then Level 2 for distance healing, and Level 3 for mastery and teaching. The quality of Reiki training varies, so it’s best to choose a teacher with good reviews or a strong lineage. Courses can last from a weekend to several weeks depending on the format. Certification can add credibility, especially if you want to teach, but practical experience is more important. Both in-person and online options are available—just make sure the course includes plenty of hands-on practice.
