FAQs
"How often do you have Reiki classes?"
I generally have a beginner's class about once a month, and usually on a Saturday. Ocassionally I can arrange a weekday class.
"How many students are in each class?"
My classes are very small - there is a minimum of two and maximum of three students so there's lots of time for talking and questions.
"How much does the beginner's class cost and how do I pay?"
The beginner's class is $150 and I accept both cash and cheques.
"Do we walk away with all the manuals and information necessary to be confident at level one?"
Yes! For each class you will receive a training manual and authentic Japanese/English certificate. New students also receive a Komyo Reiki introduction package.
"I am pregnant. Is it ok for me to take a Reiki class?"
There is absolutely no problem with studying Reiki when you are pregnant. Reiki is positive energy and will bring only goodness to your baby!
"How long is the study for each level?"
Each level has a one-day class. There are different study times for each level though. I recommend students wait at least three weeks between level one and two, a few months (or even a year) between level two and three, and a year between level three and four. During this time the students get time to practice, build their experience, and attend Reiki shares and my student practice nights. Students who are interested in becoming a Reiki teacher have the unique opportunity of apprenticing with me.
"Could you give me a general breakdown for all the levels and what they mean?"
Sure! There are four levels in Komyo Reiki Kai.
The first is Shoden, this means beginning teaching. Students learn to practice Reiki, the history of Reiki and the standard hand positions, etc.
The second is Chuden. This means middle teaching. Students learn three symbols to focus the energy, and some additional techniques, including some traditional Japanese techniques that aren't generally taught in Western Reiki.
The third is Okuden. This means inner teaching. The fourth and final symbol is taught and students are now at the energetic level of a Reiki teacher. Time is spent on the spiritual side of Reiki. This class is to deepen student's understanding of Reiki and develop their inner growth.
The fourth is Shinpiden, which means mystic or sacred teaching. This class teaches the student to become a teacher. Students learn how to perform reiju (attunements done during Reiki classes). There are some special criteria for this class.
