Can I learn Reiki online?

There are many schools of thought about learning Reiki over the internet. Some teachers believe that the only way to teach is to have the student in front of them in classes or workshops, while others offer workbooks with information on Reiki, history of Reiki, Reiki hand positions, and the energy work is done long distance.

Long distance healing or absent healing is similar to how you get a feeling that the phone is going to ring, or that your best friend is thinking about you, or when you walk into a room where everyone is sad, angry or extremely happy - you feeeel it. Energies know no boundaries and healings or energy work such as Reiki attunements or Reiju can be done long distance.

There are many different schools and thoughts of how Reiki should be done. Its up to you to decide what's right for you. Are you a long distance learner or would you prefer hands-on class experience?

Usui's Original Hand Positions

“From the evidence I have managed to gather, this is what is known at this time: Usui taught only treating the head. A common reason for this was the belief that most ailments arise from the brain. Treating around the head and finally placing most energy into the crown. (source Eguchi manuals).”
