Some basic rules all Reiki Teachers should follow (as per me!!

Please feel free to add more if you feel)

• Your student is not you. They are their own individuals, do not expect your student practice it the way
you do. What we teach them is a skeleton; they will either follow it to the T or build and customize it
their own way. Neither of the methods is wrong. It is what ones feel comfortable with.

• Encourage your students to ask you questions. The answer cannot be “Because I said so”. It’s ok not
to know the answer. The important thing is to find out the answer if the student asks a question you
don’t know.
• I shall quote a Reiki teacher at this point. That person, of course, shall not be named.

I have never seen such absurd claims in my life, but people write these too. These kinds of blocks should
never be put in anybody’s mind. We should have immense faith in the practice. A master will never
make a “mistake” because we are just the medium, it’s the higher energies which guide us throughout.
Reiki ensures that the student’s attunement and practice does not get affected; Reiki can be sent
through your eyes, breath and even soles of your feet! also when we say we become Reiki, we become
one with Reiki, we are so divinely synced with the energies of the Universe, that we know how Reiki will
work!

 I know I may be kicked for this point as people are divided on distance attunement, I shall quote
another Reiki Teacher
“For Beginners and Learners – In my view with respect to learning a spiritual Practice like REIKI
through Whatsapp is a big failure concept. First Thumb Rule is the Reiki Master & Practitioner
should be in eye to eye contact, Learners should understand the purpose behind the technique,
should know its Advantages and Disadvantages, understand the need and requirements and
then able to apply at right time, Reiki Master clearing the learners unknown doubts raised is
essential and building their confidence in return.
These above factors through Whatsapp will not solve and finally, at the end of the day the
learner will feel his or her money spent is not worth and lose interest. As we all well know that
Spirituality will come in its own way. Just like that, no power will come.”

I disagree to this point to the core, for the simple reason, not everyone has access to Reiki
teachers, or resonate the ones who are known to them, hence they learn in distance. I am sure
there are many Reiki practitioners who have learned level 1/2/3 or any other degree in distance
and are doing great, these blocks are unnecessary. As a Reiki practitioner if you feel that in
person is necessary, please reach out interiors of places and educate people about this
wonderful modality and teach them to this way everyone wins.

 I have also come across a few teachers who give the attunement with the intention, “Make
the student powerful practitioner but not as powerful as me.”This is again an absurd way of
giving attunement, as Reiki shall decide the fate of the student and not us. We should always
have the intention, that our students are the best practitioners and they will help others in a
selfless manner.
  There are teachers who discourage students from taking up healing/teaching cases
independently. One should let the students take their own decision and guide them only if they
ask help, we should let them branch out and practice and teach and heal others. Unsolicited
advice is never welcomed.

 Does not matter where we are in our spiritual practice, if our fellow colleagues or students are
doing better than us, don’t mar them with psychic attacks, instead be happy that they are
doing well for themselves. Remember Reiki is not a business it’s a service to humanity.

 Please don’t copy others notes and pass it on as your own. If you have prior permission from
your teacher or someone else to use the notes to give it to others, please keep their manual
intact, and let your students know that you are giving your colleagues/teachers notes ahead.
Transparency and honesty is important.

 Please share knowledge selflessly, the more you share, more shall you receive.If you know the
techniques are going to help, please share. Unfortunately, there are some teachers who do not
give proper notes to the students or not teach the concept clearly, or worse, they say the
attunement shall be given of all the levels together and the students can read the notes on their
own!

 Grounding, Shielding, Attitude of gratitude and hands-on practice is necessary at all

levels. Please teach your students that. We all know that with grounding, shielding, and hands-
on Reiki half the problems get solved. Rest of the advanced and not so advanced techniques
depends on you and your intuition.

 Don’t force your students to take up other courses provided by you. Let them decide what
works the best for them. Also if a student does not want to do further degrees with you, it does
not matter, don’t take it personally. Every student who comes to you has some karma you
shared with them, and you have completed it.

 Please teach Authentic Reiki. In no Reiki practice, is the power symbol the Master Symbol.
There are unfortunately some teachers who distort Reiki which leaves the students dazed and
confused. Also, I have got many calls asking people if “Vashikaran and Indrajaal” is a part of
Reiki, and the answer is NO. There are some Teachers who say the above mentioned are a part
of Reiki, please people do not fall into these gimmicks. Reiki is all about healing yourself, karma
and other souls. Also, don’t curse your Reiki students that they won’t be able to practice, it
comes back on you, and no Reiki Teachers are supposed to ask their students to remove their
clothes or scarves before an attunement or healing.

Have a safe and an authentic practice, help others in their path, and don’t malign the energies and your
name.

Blessed be <3
