How To Find A Legitimate Reiki Practitioner

If you’ve been experiencing energy blockages, you’ve probably noticed that you’re having physical or emotional issues that you can’t quite fix on your own. Luckily, there are reiki practitioners who are skilled in clearing these types of blockages and can work to restore your inner balance and sense of peace. Unfortunately, there are also some scammers out there who are trying to make a quick buck off of people who are seeking relief. In order to make sure you’re working with an authentic reiki professional who can help heal you, there are some things you should keep in mind. Here’s some guidance on how to find a legitimate reiki practitioner.

What steps should I take to find a reiki professional?
The first question you most likely have is: how do I choose a reiki healer? You can start out by researching anyone you’re interested in seeing for treatment. It’s never a good idea to just head to the first name you see on Google or in a directory. Look them up online to see what you can find out about their practice or their experience.

Reading reviews can also be invaluable in helping you learn more about each specific practitioner you’re researching. If there aren’t any online reviews to read, try to find friends or family that have used a healer so you can hear their experiences – word of mouth is a great way to find a legitimate reiki practitioner. There may also be reiki schools or educational centers near you that can most likely help recommend someone to you.

You should also include the step of comparing rates in your research. How much should reiki cost? Well, this can change depending on a lot of different factors (including the region you’re located in and how prevalent reiki healers are in that area). The price also depends on the length of your session, which can last anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes.

On average, you’ll probably shell out about $50–$100 per session. Some insurance companies might pay for it if they cover alternative medicine, so you can always check that out as an option for keeping your costs low. If you’re on a budget, you can also reach out to reiki schools and see if they offer free or discounted sessions from their students in training.

What makes a good reiki practitioner?
When you’re conducting your research to find a reiki healer, you should remember that there are some traits that generally make for a high-quality practitioner. For example, your reiki healer should be a great listener who always makes time to hear your concerns and answer any questions you might have. They should be caring and compassionate about your symptoms and eager to help give you relief.

Above all else, reiki healers should want you to be comfortable with every step of the process. They’ll never touch you without your permission or in a way that’s inappropriate. Reiki healers should be focused on providing you with a comforting, peaceful experience, with the main goal of restoring your energy and improving your wellbeing.

What questions should I ask my reiki practitioner?
A legitimate reiki healer will have no problem answering your questions (especially before booking your first session). Here are a few questions you can ask to get a better understanding of the process:

• What training/expertise do you have? They should be able to explain to you how they were trained or certified in reiki healing so that you can verify their background if you choose to.
• What experience do you have treating my specific issues? Knowing they’ve treated someone with your particular symptoms can be helpful in determining whether they’re the right practitioner for you. If they’ve never helped someone with your set of concerns, you might want to head elsewhere for your treatment.
• How many sessions do you estimate it will take for me to get relief? They might not know an exact number (especially before treating you and seeing how you respond to reiki), but they should be able to give you an estimate of how long your course of treatment might be.
• What will the cost be? Legitimate practitioners should be aware of the amount of money you might need to invest in a course of treatment. Although they might not be able to provide an exact figure, a general ballpark number can typically be given.
• Will I need follow-up sessions or maintenance appointments? Because of their experience, they should be able to give you an idea of how many sessions it might take for you to feel relief from your symptoms or if you might need ongoing healing sessions.

The most important thing to keep in mind when looking for a legitimate reiki practitioner is that your intuition will be your most effective tool. If someone seems off or like they may be trying to scam you, chances are that’s true.

There are some people who will try to overcharge you or insist you need a huge number of sessions just so that they can get more money. They could also try to upsell you on merchandise or supplements that you might not even need. If you get a bad feeling from working with someone, you should find a different practitioner right away. By listening to your gut, you’ll be able to find a reiki healer who is truly invested in improving your health with no ulterior motives.
