Why not get a Reiki Master Certificate and Earn Money from your Heart?
Once you are a proud owner of a Reiki Master Certificate, it is your free choice to either charge or not to charge for Reiki sessions and attunements. Offering your services for free is a very loving gesture, but if you want Reiki to be your life’s work and need to be able to support yourself and possibly your family, you have to think it over and evaluate your overall situation.
As with everything, you do professionally, you will need knowledge, experience and confidence before you will feel like doing something that you love to do.
In my personal suggestion, try to start Reiki giving away free as trial sessions to friends and family to gain confidence. Clearly, 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. I started out giving Reiki by treating my family, coworkers and pets and also doing Reiki Master attunement. It was very fulfilling to share these free attunements, and it made a big difference in a lot of my friends lives - people who were not able to raise the funds for attunements but were eager 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, even you are qualified with a Reiki Master certificate, because they don’t have the money at that point of time. Remember there is always the law of karma which says: do unto others as you’d have them do unto you. Thats just the Law it is and we’ll better follow it.

You can teach Others!
In my opinion, you should have plenty of practice and experience before attempting to teach someone else. Mainly, because your students will have questions and you should be able to help them. Another reason is, if you attempt to teach others before you have experienced Reiki and the energy which attached to it, you may be missing out on part of the big picture. 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.
I have to mention that attunements can be transmitted, even you don’t have collected experience already. However doing 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.
My only intention to become a Reiki Master at that time was to grow spiritually and to expand my spiritual awareness. In this transformation 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 assume it is not for many of you. After reading many books on Reiki, receiving the attunements, doing hands-on healing sessions, and sending many attunements to other beloved ones, I still didn’t have the intention to be a teacher. Only when I asked my Higher Self in what I can do to help others to evolve, I started to bring Reiki to others. What a opening experience!

Why not becoming a Reiki Master Associate?
At that time you have completed all necessary the lessons and assignments to receive your Reiki Master 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 charge your students as you see your value in supporting their studies.
You will be your students’ guide through the course, sending their attunements and answering any questions they may have. Once they have completed the assignments they will receive a customized, internationally accredited Reiki Master Certificate through any Professional Reiki Mastery Association.
If you intend to teach Reiki, but don’t want to create your own scripts and material, and wish to supply your students with an accredited Reiki Master certificate, becoming an associate or affiliate may be the best idea for you to consider.
