Frequently Asked Questions
 

Q - I have taken Reiki 1 recently, how long do I need to wait until I take Reiki 2?

A - I personally would suggest waiting about 6 months between courses. However, it does vary between individuals as it depends upon how dedicated and how much practice a person puts into Reiki.

I feel that Reiki1 is primarliy for the individual and that it really depends on what is going on in your life at the present moment. I also feel that a person will know deep inside when they are ready. They will feel that they are comfortable with the Reiki and know the benefits it has had in their own lives. They will then begin to feel drawn to help others and have inner need to strengthen their Reiki in order to benefit other people around them.

Q - Do you limit the number of students on your course? If so, why?

A - Yes, I have a maximum of FOUR students on each course. I made this decision to teach small numbers as I felt it was very important to give individuals tuition and also to be able for the students to feel relaxed in a small group and to feel confident to speak up and ask questions. Some people do not feel comfortable in large groups and are less likely to interact within group.

Q - You mention on your website that you include Hatsu Rei Ho and Reiju empowerments, what is this?

A - Hatsu Rei Ho are some of the latest techniques which have come over from Japan. It is a technique, which is used to strengthen the connection to the Reiki energy. The Reiju empowerment is also used to enable the student to help to increase their ability to channel the Reiki energy.

 

Q - I have noticed that the prices for Reiki courses vary, why is this?

A - I feel that as with everything in this world you can pay different prices for what initially appears to be the same thing. I will admit to not having the cheapest courses around, however, I personally feel this is reflected in the fact that I offer probably more in my courses. I prepare a homemade, (as much as possible, organic) two-course lunch on both days, this includes homemade breads and homemade cordials. I enjoy cooking and feel that by preparing a meal with love this is reflected over a relaxing lunch where students can share with the group their interest in Reiki.

I have taken considerable time to constuct what I feel is a very comprehensive manual, 60 pages. This incorporates everything which is covered on the course as well as additional information for students to read at there leisure when the course is completed.

I would always point out to anyone who is looking for a Master to teach them Reiki, that they must follow their heart. Trust their intuition for where they feel most drawn to study. Reiki is a very wonderful energy to take onboard and this is a very important decision to make. I would ask the student to ask themselves what value do they put upon their spiritual pathway, is cost their number one criteria or are they prepared to follow their heart and go where they feel they have been directed regardless to price.

To sum up I feel the cost is not an issue, you will find the Master who is just meant to be the one for you, regardless of the cost. Just because one Master charges a small amount does not infer that they are less worthy than one who charges extremely high amounts, at the end of the day it is left for you to judge what value you put on yourself and your training.

 

Q - Do you cater for special diets on your courses?

A - Yes, all diets are catered for. When someone books a place on one of my courses I will always ask if they have a special dietary requirement. My meals are as much as is possible organic and vegetarian. To give you an idea I have listed two menus from recent courses.

All the meals on the course are prepared with fresh ingredients and all are home made by myself.

Here are just a couple of examples of the lunches provided on one of my courses:

  Vegetable Penne Bake
  Baked Fennel with Red Peppers and Parmesan
  Steamed Green Beans
  Fresh Basil and Tomato sauce
  Home made Black Olive and Cheese bread
   
  Austrian Apricot Almond tart with fresh cream or ice-cream.
   
  Brocolli & Rosenborg Cheese Flan
  Mixed Green salad with fresh herbs and peppers
  Tomato and Basil salad
  Pototoes with Salsa Verde dressing
  Home made Focaccia bread with onion and black olives.
   
  Forest Fruit Meringue Roulade and fresh cream.
   

Q - I live quite far from you, will you be able to arrange accommodation for an overnight stay?

A - Accommodation is not a problem, there are several places; local B&B's in the nearby villages with rooms starting from £16 per night.

 

Q - Can you tell me as to whether I will be able to get insurance for practising Reiki after taking one of your courses?

A - Yes, you will be able to get insurance, I have a list of a number of companies you can approach. I would also point out that due to the fact that I am an accredited Reiki Master Teacher with Embody will make it easier for you to obtain cover.
