10 Tips To Finding The Right Reiki Master Teacher

Looking to learn Reiki? Here's how to find the right Master Teacher for you

If you are interested in learning Reiki or seeking out a Reiki treatment, it's important to find a qualified and experienced teacher or practitioner – known as a Reiki Master Teacher. Here are my 10 top tips for finding the right Reiki teacher for you:
​

1. Look for a teacher with a recognised certification. Reiki practitioners can obtain certification through a variety of organisations, such as the Reiki Federation. Look for a teacher who has a recognised certification, as this can be an indication of their level of training and experience. The Reiki Federation will be able to check the lineage of teachers and advise if they are genuine.
2. Are they insured to teach? I know, it’s a boring topic, however it really is important to check that a Reiki teacher is insured to both practice and teach.
3. Seek out recommendations. Ask friends, family, or healthcare professionals if they have any recommendations for Reiki practitioners in your area. Personal recommendations can be a good way to find a practitioner who has a good reputation.
4. Look for a practitioner who is a good fit for you. Reiki is a personal and holistic practice, and it's important to find a teacher or practitioner who you feel comfortable with. Look for someone who is compassionate, understanding, and who takes the time to listen to your concerns and goals.
5. Research the practitioner's background and experience. Look for a practitioner who has a solid foundation in Reiki principles and practices. It's a good idea to ask about their training and experience, as well as any additional modalities they may be proficient in.
6. Be open to trying out a few different practitioners. Have a Reiki session with them first to see how you connect. It may take some trial and error to find the right practitioner for you. Don't be afraid to try out a few different practitioners until you find one that you feel comfortable with.
7. Consider the support they provide. A good Reiki Master Teacher will provide support after your reiki training. They may have a face book group, perhaps run a regular healing share, or be open to a practice and chat.
8. Do they train in all levels of reiki? Many Reiki Master Teachers may not teach all the levels of reiki. It’s worthwhile looking at how far they can support you in your Reiki journey.
9. Are they ethical? Now I know this is subjective, and totally different to being professional. However being ethical means acting in a way that is morally right and adhering to principles of fairness, honesty, and responsibility. It involves treating others with respect and consideration, and acting with integrity. Being ethical also means following the reiki values and principles, walking the walk not just talking the talk. Being ethical is important because it helps to create a sense of trust and reliability, and it allows people to have confidence in one another.
10. Trust your instinct. Ultimately rely on your gut feelings or inner wisdom when making a decision. Pay attention to your intuitive thoughts and feelings, and trust that they will guide you in the right direction.

Finding the right Reiki teacher or practitioner can take some time and effort, but it is well worth it. A qualified and experienced practitioner can help you to experience the full benefits of Reiki and support you on your journey to healing and well-being.
