This article is for those looking to take Reiki training with the intention of working professionally with the public, delivering Reiki treatments in the UK. The general requirements in the UK are to have completed Reiki training courses to a practitioner level, in Jikiden Reiki, which would be completing both the Shoden (beginner level) and Okuden (deeper level).

In Jikiden Reiki things are set up for students to attend both levels together- to learn the whole system of Reiki at one time, rather than do it in bits. I have my views on it and will expand on this question with the aim to better help you decide what is best for you.

With many people, who they select to learn Reiki from can be a bit pot luck, dependent on who happens to be in their local area. The aim of this article is to help give you some considerations to think about as you look to select a Reiki training course and which teacher to learn from.

In today’s article, I present 10 benefits of taking Jikiden Reiki training specifically for those who are already trained in Reiki. So this blog is directly speaking to those who have already taken some kind of formal training in Reiki.
