2 Ways to Go Having a Reiki Certificate
If you have a Reiki Certificate it is a free choice of a practitioner to ask money for Reiki sessions and attunements. To offer your service for free is a very devoted gesture, which is everybody choice. However if you’ll have to feed your family or yourself you have to think it over and evaluate your overall situation.
Naturally, even you have a Reiki certificate on your wall you will need knowledge, experience and confidence, before you start making a living doing something that you enjoy to do.
My suggestion is giving free trial sessions to friends and family to get started and gain confidence. It is clear that you are not charging for the energy; it’s free for everybody. It’s your time and commitment to what you’ve studied that you are charging for. Once I got my Reiki certificate I started out giving Reiki by treating my family, coworkers and pets and also doing Reiki attunements. Offering these free attunements was very fulfilling and I feel like I made a huge difference in a lot of peoples’ lives - people who did not have the money to pay for an attunement but wanted to learn how to heal themselves and others.
Even now, several years and experience later, it is not a good idea, to prevent someone from a healing or attunement because they don’t have the money at that point of time. Having a Reiki certificate is also a commitment to the Reiki lifestyle. Remember there is always the law of karma which says: do unto others as you’d have them do unto you. That’s just the Law it is and we’ll better follow it.
Owning a Reiki Certificate - Possibility 1
If you have a Reiki certificate you are qualified to teach others!
Out of my personal experience, even with Reiki certificate credentials, I would advise you to collect a lot of personal experience, before you start to teach somebody else. The reason, of course, is your students search for answers, and your ability to face them. The other point is your own experience with the Reiki energy. If you don’t get aware of the inner side of the Reiki energy, you miss out the most vital point in your whole Reiki journey. Reiki is beautiful and one reason is in its simplicity. The concept of Reiki is one that can be easily grasped, but you have to learn through your own experience and awareness.
Basically, attunements can be transmitted even you don’t have collected experience already. Practicing attunements will help you gain knowledge into the processes involved in Reiki, both through your own feelings during the attunement procedure and through the attunees’ experiences.
I became a Reiki Master to grow spiritually and to expand my awareness. In this process you gain so much knowledge, so that teaching others become natural. Teaching and expanding Reiki to as many people as possible has not always been my goal and desire, as I’m sure it is not for many of you. Even after reading many books on Reiki, receiving the attunements, doing hands-on healing sessions, sending many attunements to others, and owning a Reiki certificate, I still didn’t have the knowledge and intention to be a teacher. Only when I asked my Higher Self in what I can do to help others, I discovered my ability to teach Reiki to others. What a new experience!
Owning a Reiki Certificate - Possibility 2
If you have a professional Reiki certificate and want to supply your income, why not becoming a Reiki Master Associate?
At that time you have completed all necessary the lessons and assignments to receive your Reiki Certificate, and if you develop the desire to teach others but not necessarily create your own learning material, there are always options of becoming an Professional Reiki Mastery Associate, which is beneficial because you can purchase a professionally accredited course handbook as an affiliate for your own students. You can handle them their Reiki certificate and charge your students as you see your value in supporting their studies.
You will guide your students’ through the course, transmitting the attunements and answering their questions which might occur. Once your students have completed the assignments and learned all necessary steps, they will receive a internationally accredited Reiki Certificate by you or through any Professional Reiki Mastery Association.
If you have the desire to teach Reiki, but don’t want to create your own handbook, and wish to provide your students with an accredited Reiki certificate, becoming an associate may be the right option for you.
