3 Ways to Become a Reiki Master

Reiki is a natural system of energy healing. The direct translation of Reiki is "Universal Life Force Energy". This energy is the life force that permeates the universe.

A reiki practitioner channels that energy through the hands to activate the body's natural healing mechanisms. The hand positions correspond to the points used in acupuncture and other practices, and Reiki also has elements of other spiritual healing practices.

One of the many lovely things about being a Reiki practitioner is that the energy flows through you, and does not deplete your energy at all.

Reiki can help to heal on many levels - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. That said, there is no guarantee that a person will be cured of any ailment after a single or even multiple Reiki treatments. However, Reiki can enhance the effects of medical treatment.

Reiki cannot do any harm, nor can it be used for any harmful purpose.

Reiki can also enhance personal and spiritual evolution and assist on the path to enlightenment. Reiki is not affiliated with any particular spiritual path and will work for anyone. Treatment with Reiki can help release blocked energy and promote relaxation and stress reduction. It also helps to cleanse the body of toxins.

Reiki can be used on plants, animals and in earth healing.


There are 3 levels of attunements required to become a Reiki Master. These attunements clear any blocks and connects the person to the ability to use the Reiki energy.

How to become a Reiki practitioner:

Find a Reiki Master in your area and learn from him/her. The usual costs are as follows:
Level One - $100
Level Two - $250
Level Three - $500
(Based on average prices in Canada)

Reiki Masters can also do distance attunements. Usually a pre-set time is arranged to pass on the attunement remotely. I have had great success with this method.

You can learn how to do the attunements yourself from a book. Although this is frowned on by many Reiki Masters, who insist that the attunements must be done in person, it does work. One of the most important aspects of Reiki is "INTENTION", and setting the proper intention assures success.

Reiki is a wonderful, non-invasive healing practice that greatly benefits both practitioner and client. I highly recommend turning on your healing power through Reiki.
