Reiki so expensive

I have been attuned to reiki level II. I have been wanting to become a reiki master but hate that it costs so much. I also dont really think it's fair that a gift that someone is sharing with the world has such a high price tag.

Does anyone else feel this frustration when it comes to reiki?

When I am able to become a master and pass the symbols I am certain that I will not charge this much to share this healing love with others.

This is also one reason why I stopped at lvl II. Plus I couldn't find a master to attune me to lvl III/master prac.

I was also frustrated at the time, but then I realized their point of view as well. Considering where it's coming from and how well guarded it all is (and the official word on Reiki is that you can ONLY become attuned by a master practitioner), well there's the concept of scarcity in play which makes it so expensive.

Afterall they say that Reiki is not like any other energy work that can simply be learned from books or videos, you really need that personal attunment from a master. And like everything very valuable, it is also very expensive.

Some say self attunement is more effective than attunement from others. A very good point about self attunement is that Dr. Mikao Usui self attuned as he invented reiki. If an attunement was necessary from a master, how did he activate?

Have you ever investigated these avenues? Do you believe this is impossible unless you shell out BIG bucks to someone else?

have you asked spirit for help with the financial costs?

I know when i wanted to do my reiki 2 and also some other courses i could no where near afford it, so i asked spirit to help me find the money.... one £5,000 cheque 2 weeks later and i was all set to go... since then i have done my reiki 2, hi-ki massage course, indian head massage course and also an emotional healing journey over 3 months , next in line will be my development course and also my hopi ear candle course....

its def worth asking.. as i had asked for some money the year before also and recieved substantial amount of money then too!

good luck !!

This very subject was discussed on a much earlier thread and it got deleted.

No matter what you pay ......no certification is needed to channel Divine Energy.


I have met Reiki Masters who had no ability to heal at all. Who were to consumed by Judgment, for the Divine to FLOW freely. Seek your own DIRECT connection to the Divine and you will not need pay a dime to anyone. A Heart filled with simplicity and Love is worth more to the Creative Force then 1 Million certified Masters of No-thing.

Trust in the Divine , Trust in Self.......

Thank you. I think that's what I will do.

Hello


I have me Reiki Master Level and YES the price was very dear.....but I honour paying that as I so felt the SHIFT in the energies I got in attunements. I feel that there is a lot of personal energy that a GOOD teacher puts forth to the student and that should be honoured.

That said when somoene has done all the WORK and so understands it and feels the energy on a healing level it is OK to trade services with another to get that paper that says certified to practcice. I have done that for one person. He so helped me with some life issues I had that in payment back I certified him but there was WORK he had to do to earn it and condtions he had to really look at before I would . I had to know that he understood the honour I placed on the value of freindship. He did.

If it comes from ones higest and greatest GOOD then that is what truly matters most. I have all the BOOKs on Reiki in the Metaphysical Library I house in me home for a place I belong too.....I have yet to go to any of them.

I would not want SELF certification for me personally but there is always ways around the financial burdens that one faces. Trading services is one way.

There are masters who do this as service. I have sent you a private message.

I have gotten addition attunements on Ebay from different masters in different specializations. I got my Iamara reiki (La ho chi) attunement and the likes. You can easily feel the energy and most offer certificates if you want one. I just enjoy the use of the energy. As previous posters have stated, many masters are happy to attune for very little. You just have to search.
