Potential students sometimes ask — how quickly can I do Master?  Some have even asked if they can become a Reiki Master Teacher in a weekend!

Reiki is a step at a time journey — each step to be spiritually savored along the way.  It is not a light little hobby to pick up for entertainment, or an offbeat “get- rich-quick” scheme. Some people think that it could be a swift learning experience that will rapidly result in a new job so they can leave whatever job they are currently feeling burned out or stressed out about.

Reiki is a very profound, personal journey. Once you become a First Degree Practitioner there is a beautiful new opening — a doorway that can be a purely pleasant portal to a new dimension of service, compassion and spirituality.  And accessing this new portal takes time, consistency and PRACTICE!

Would you start take piano lessons on a Friday and expect to be a concert virtuoso by the end of the weekend — of course not! Any worthy goal takes time, concentration, focus.  And it is no different with the Reiki modality.  Though yes, it is much easier to become immersed in the Reiki energy than to become adept at playing an instrument.

So if you take the first step along your Reiki path, be in the mindset of enjoying and immersing yourself in all aspects of this unique journey. Be open to a spiritual unfolding.

And be patient! There are suggested waiting periods between the levels of Reiki, and there is a reason for that. One has to adjust to the new, uplifted levels of energy within ones being and energetic grid. An attunement (initiation process) can be powerful! It immediately opens ones energetic pathways allowing a beautiful connection to Reiki. This creates changes within ones body and the biofield surrounding your physical body.  It takes a bit of time to process and adjust to these shifts.

Most importantly, one needs to practice the techniques, meditations and material taught to truly learn it. This does not happen overnight or in a weekend.

You also need to practice self Reiki on a regular basis to facilitate this entire process.

So be resonant with basking in the flow of this illuminated journey — allow yourself to align with the energy of the Universe at a pace that is right for you. It will be a radiant voyage toward inner peace….
