Want to learn reiki ..

In my opinion as a Reiki Master, you should find a credible Reiki Master to teach you the levels and provide you the attunements. Preferably someone who doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Many people learn and then teach this healing modality with the intention of making a lot of money, which is not in the essence of Reiki.
Living in Canada, I paid $150 for level 3, $200 for level 2 and $300 for the Master level. I'm not sure what that equates to in Euro's or pounds.
I'm of the opinion that Reiki levels and attunements should be done in person whenever possible.
As for your preparation, all you need to do is show up with an open heart and mind and be wiling to learn and spread love and light.
Hope this helps :)

That comes in time. If you can't find any reiki Masters locally, perhaps there are some online? I've got an AMAZING one here in America!

You nailed it when you mentioned intuition. I've noticed mine grow in leaps and bounds since being Reiki 1,2, and 3 over the course of a year. Things I've never been able to before, can do now. And it blows my mind. But I think the biggest part of it is now being able to trust my intuition and know it it right rather than question it, because we all are intuitive on some level. But Reiki will definitely give you greater intuition and the ability to 'hear' messages. (at least for me"
