I'm hoping someone can help me find info on reiki for a total newbie. I've heard various things but would prefer to know more not bits & pieces.

Fri, February 13, 2009 - 12:41 PMI guess it'll be awhile then. I live in a very small not very progressive area. Maybe I can get a book that gives me some basic background since that's about all I'll be able to do for now. Thanks anyway! -

Re: Looking to learn
Fri, February 13, 2009 - 4:26 PM"The Reiki Sourcebook" by Bronwen and Frans Stiene has a lot of history and background, and many techniques. Long before I studied with them, I was a fan of this book as a strong and grounded reference book for the classes I was teaching at the time.
However, reading the book is not enough. Reiki is literally passed on by being in the presence of a qualified teacher, someone who already has been initiated and practices the path. And it *is* an initiation, in that you are taking first steps onto what can be a life-long path of spiritual growth and personal healing and well-being.
You might be surprised at who teaches in your area. Reiki can be and is practiced by people of many religions or of no religion. Yes, even Catholic nuns practice it. Nurses and doctors practice it. Depending on the teacher, it doesn't have to be "out there". Reiki is mysterious, yes - but in the way that love and compassion are mysterious. Nothing more or less than that.
If you can tell me roughly where you are, maybe I can help you find someone.
Good luck.

Tue, February 17, 2009 - 5:58 PMYou might be surprised. I got my reiki attunements in Midland, Texas. A very backward, fearbased christian town. But that may be why there were reiki masters living there.

Never forget your honest and focused intent sent out into the universe is a pretty good beacon for finding the right teacher, if your intentions are clear.
