By now, you know that Reiki is a powerful resource for when you’re feeling depleted or out of balance. Reiki Healing Energy can clear your chakras, combat burnout, and even balance your Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies. Truly, the possible benefits of receiving Reiki are endless.
But have you ever stopped and wondered how Reiki Healers learn to channel such a strong energy force?
The answer is no secret — they’ve gone through a certification process and a Spiritual Attunement Ceremony. And here’s the thing… you could become a Reiki Healer too!
I remember how powerful it felt when I first got certified in Reiki Level 1. Like all my favorite Reiki healing benefits were at my own fingertips. I felt both liberated and emboldened to take control of my health.
So if you’re even the slightest bit interested in learning more about the process of becoming certified in Reiki, this blog is for you.
The Difference Between Reiki Energy Healing Sessions & Reiki Certification
During a Reiki healing session, your Reiki Healer uses a combination of sound therapy, crystal healing, and the Reiki energy itself to balance your chakras and cleanse your body of energy blockages.
This energy cleansing is what supports your healing as it allows you to gain clarity and get back in touch with your intuition. It’s an important self-care ritual that everyone should do periodically.
Reiki certification, on the other hand, is a healing journey that gives you the attunement you need to channel Reiki Healing Energy for yourself. This means that once you’re certified, you can give yourself Reiki whenever and wherever you need it.
Level 1 Reiki Certification — A Healing Experience
Becoming a Reiki healer is not simply a certification process — it’s also a healing experience. By the end of the certification process, you’ll be more connected to yourself and the universal life force energy flowing through you.
You’ll also be able to identify:
- If you have an overactive or underactive chakra
- Where your energy is blocked
- When you need to slow down and give yourself Reiki to avoid burnout
For some people, the Reiki certification process is the first time they experience what it’s like to have their body, energy, mind, and spirit all functioning at their highest level.
Who Can Get Reiki Certified?
The short answer? Everyone
There are no prerequisites for Reiki Level 1 Certification. You don’t have to have a pre-established meditation or Reiki practice. And you don’t even have to be super knowledgeable about Reiki energy itself.
The beauty of reiki is that every single one of us can benefit from it. And every single one of us is worthy and able to receive an attunement to Reiki Healing Energy.
The only requirement is that you are open to Reiki Healing Energy and willing to learn.
The Process of Reiki Level 1 Certification
During the 2-day Reiki Level 1 Certification, you’ll learn about the origin and history of Reiki, dive deep into your own energy and healing, and gain the attunement you need to channel Reiki for yourself.
You’ll also learn more tactical skills such as:
- The complete hand placement system
- Gassho meditation
- Dry bathing – a method to purify your energy field
- Byosen Scanning – using your hands to locate areas that need healing
… and so much more.
By the end of the certification process, you’ll also participate in a Spiritual Attunement Ceremony. This is when Reiki is passed from the Reiki Master to the student. And it’s what allows you to become a vessel so that Reiki can flow through you.
What Happens When You’re Certified?
Level 1 Reiki allows you to give Reiki to yourself, plants and objections, and spot treatments to loved ones. It takes the power of Reiki Energy Healing Sessions and makes it accessible whenever you need it.
What happens once you’re certified is up to you! You’re free to give Reiki to yourself and your space as frequently as you need — no need to rely on your Reiki Healer’s schedule!
With attunement to Reiki Healing Energy, you’ll find that you have greater self-awareness. You’ll be better able to identify when your energy is unbalanced or when your chakras are blocked. And you’ll have access to Reiki in those moments when you struggle with motivation, strength, or vitality.
All of this means you’ll experience personal growth like never before. And it’s why I deeply believe that if everyone in the world learned and applied Reiki Level 1, we would be living in a much happier and healthier world.
