Experience Reiki FAQ

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions I receive. I will add to this list as new questions arise. Please also see Policies (Class Sizes & Refunds). If your question is not answered here, please email Sea.

Is Reiki good for ___________ (back pain, fibromyalgia, depression, ulcers, anxiety disorders, arthritis, colitis, etc.)?
Reiki is not a substitute for medical attention. However, Reiki encourages deep relaxation, and offers comfort for those in pain. Although I cannot offer any guarantees, I have witnessed and experienced miraculous healings at the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Most of the time, however, Reiki appears to work in more subtle ways, increasing the speed and depth of healing, and helping prevent illness. I believe Reiki can be used for any physical, emotional, mental or spiritual dis-ease.

Can Reiki be used on animals?
Yes. In my experience Reiki works even more quickly on animals than on people. I suspect this is because animals are less likely to emotionally hold on to their dis-ease and pain.

If I’m attuned to Reiki, do I have to use Reiki on others?
In my Reiki I class I ask students to practice on each other. I believe it’s best when each student has a chance to experience both giving and receiving the Reiki energy. But following the Reiki I class it is not necessary that you work on others. The foundation of a Reiki I practice begins with oneself. The more you heal yourself, the better healer you will be able to be for others. People who heal themselves regularly with Reiki may find that they become a healing or positive presence to others without ever putting their hands on another person.

How long do I need to wait between attunements?
I suggest most students wait 3 weeks after Reiki I to receive Reiki II, 3-6 months between Reiki II and Reiki III, and a year between Reiki II and Reiki Master/Teacher training. This is because each attunement begins a process of healing within you. I suggest that you fully experience and integrate each healing process before moving on to the next. I’m not saying that it is dangerous to receive attunements more quickly. And I understand that there are many Reiki Masters who are attuning people with much greater speed. If you’re feeling impatient, ask yourself: Where’s the fire? Why the rush? Why not fully experience each level before moving on? Does your desire for the next level come from your higher self, from your spiritual guides, from your ego?

Why don’t you offer Reiki I or Reiki Master/Teacher classes on an individual basis?
I offer Reiki II and Reiki III (practitioner) levels on an individual basis. However because Reiki I and Master/Teacher levels require that students work on each other, I cannot offer individual classes at those levels. I do occasionally arrange private classes for those for whom my regular class dates or locations are not convenient.

Why are prices different at different locations?
I price classes based on the overhead at the site where the class is located. Some locations require a greater rental and travel fees than others. All Reiki I and II classes cover the same material, regardless of location.
