Question:
Hello. I have signed up to do Reiki level 1 at the end of this month coming up shortlly here. I am doing it because I have had digestive problems so badly and so many other problems physically a reiki practitioner told me to get an attunement and do it myself. Thinking about it though scares me a little. Ive read some of the posts on this forum, but I still wonder what does reiki do to you? how does it change you? i have already been through some sweeping changes the past few years and i thought i heard that it causes more changes, is that true?
Indeed, the belief factor will affect reiki. And reiki energy will affect your belief. So then, if you first believe that reiki will work, that alone can make it work. And when it works, it can increase your belief, and make even more things work.
Things can always work if you want them to. Its a matter of your reality and what you believe to be true. Positive affirmations will complete things, and leavingyour mind clear andopen.
Keep your thoughts true and positive about your dreams,then you and reiki can heal the world.
I believe reiki works, thats why I love it so much.
Perfectcusp, :)
I would imagine that most people taking a Reiki course feel a mixture of apprehension and excitement prior to being attuned so that's natural.
However, I would suggest you think carefully before taking the course as there is a difference between doing a Reiki course because you were told to and doing it because you want to. Don't do the course unless you want to.
Reiki attunement is a journey into the unknown for anyone who does itand each journey is unique to the person. Reiki always works for the highest good and intent of the person so it is always safe. It's impossible to say what Reiki will do for you. Only you can decide that you want to go on this journey of self discovery or not. Please decide that you want to first.
Your intent and motivation for learning Reiki is something that you and no one else decides. You are in charge of your life and your healing. If you accept this responsibility then Reiki will work with you for the highest good and intent of your spiritual growth and healing.
Is that what you want?
If you decide that the answer is Yes then your fear will turn into this mixture of apprehension AND excitement because you want to take a journey into the unknown...and you are not doing it because someone else is telling you to.
If you decide the answer is no then the fear wil leave you and you will stay as you are.
Only you can decide. No one else.

Reiki is a personal, unique spiritual journey and as Bryan says you should go into it only because you want to and not because someone has said you should. Be aware that Reiki can, and does change your life - your way of thinking, acting and feeling and can bring up lots of issues that need clearing, but only for your highest good. However, if you feel drawn to Reiki and the time seems right to you then, by all means, go ahead and do it. :)
I wish you well on your journey, whatever you decide to do. :)
Im not doing it because someone told me. i have reiki done about 4 times and always seek it out when I am in pain or think i need b alancing.
Poppet, HOW will it change my way of thinking and acting? thats the question i want to know most of all...
oh, and thank you bryan and Elyezual for your kind words. I will think very hard about it. Its just confusing..
Hi perfectcusp, hope you don't mind me answering this...
Firstly, it is different for everyone, but yes, it cankickstart some changes into action. They are positive changes however (even if that isn't immediately apparent).
The only way that it could affect your way of thinking/acting is you will probably feel more relaxed, able to cope with the stress of daily life & healthier & happier in general. You may also be more open minded (I have no idea what your beliefs etc are) to other things - my point being that one may end up thinking "well if Reiki exists & works, then what else is there out there that I don't know about/haven't experienced etc" which could then open a whole new can of worms if you want it to!
I would say that's about it though - it's not going to (or for most it doesn't) radically change you as a person at all.
Have a great Reiki 1 day & enjoy it & have fun! :D
Love & Light,

thank you shining star. that helped a lot. for some reason, and i hope you dont find this funny, i was worried that i might become a nun or something. like i said i am drawn to reiki as far as treatments go and thought i would just go one step farther. I appreciate all the help from those who replied.
Hi Perfectcusp,
It seems that you have received some sound advice and I can only agree (as I tend to do) with what has been said. Reiki is a wonderful thing and although I teach it I know it's not for everyone...... however you do seem determined to give it ago which is great. All I can emphasise is that Reiki 1 is a nice step to take, I had a friend who took several years to step up and take her Reiki 1 due to anticipation, uncertainty and other feelings of confusion behind it all...... and she loved the day and loved what she took away from it and to this very day I think she still hasn't ever though of moving on to Reiki 2, that's the nice thing about it you still control how fast or slow you move forward and if Reiki 1 is all you need then Reiki 1 is all you do.Plus even if you do take this step there is nothing to stop you going and receiving Reiki treatments as you have been doing.
All I can say now is enjoy this choice you have and if you do decide to take level 1 enjoy the day.
Best wishes on your journey.
Love, light and Reiki
Nick
