Classes Are Held In Many Locations For Reiki Art Certification

By Beverly C. Ralph


When beginning to learn, the student might take several introductory classes to find out more about the practice. He or she might not be interested in this Japanese technique. It is taught and practiced in each class. Many students go on to earn reiki art certification.

This is an alternative medicine according to its proponants. It was started by a Japanese Buddhist by the name of Mikao Usui. Practitioners believe that universal energy is being sent to the recipient through the palms of their hands.

The transference of the universal energy is believed to heal whatever medical condition is being addressed. It is referred to as qi. No evidence has been presented that confirms this is a medical treatment that heals. Medical professionals call it a pseudoscience rather than a science.

Becoming certified as a Reiki Art Master requires following a certain course of action. There is a specific class to qualify someone. There are prerequisites that have to be fulfilled before certification can be granted.

Requirement one is to complete successfully Reiki I and II. The next requirement is to spend at least six month practicing. Finally, the three sacred symbols must be sketched by memory. They need not be perfect, simply recognizable.

All classes are taught by ICRT Licensed Reiki Master Teachers (LRMTs). Certificates are awarded by this instructional organization. It is not confirmed to be effective by any concrete evidence.

In spite of research being done, there is not any clinical evidence that there are health improvements resulting from it. The individuals who feel that improvements have taken place may be influenced by the placebo effect. This means they are convinced they feel better simply because they believe in the power of reiki.

Disbelievers, of whom there are many, criticize the practice as taking advantage of gullible people. The harm caused by relying on it is not caused by any action on the part of the practitioners. It is caused by the absence of actual medical care that is not administered because people forego medical treatment when relying on this practice.

The Roman Catholic church disapproves of the practice. It is judged to be inappropriate because it is not compatible with Christian doctrine. Due to its lack of effectiveness it is not practiced in any Catholic hospitals or other health care institutions. No one associated with the Church is permitted to use it.

The reiki sacred symbols are used when a certified master administers attunement. He or she cannot effectively do so unless he has reached the high level of attunement himself. He will trace the symbols in the air with one finger and say the name aloud three times during the ceremony. Alternatively, he will draw them on a sheet of paper.
