To be fair, there’s lots more than 5 reasons to learn Reiki.
This energy modality is quite simply amazing, life-changing, and available to everyone!
Not so very long ago, Reiki was prohibitively expensive for most people. Fees to learn it were at $10,000 USD! It was shrouded in secrecy, with instructors forbidding the use of notes or manuals. This oral tradition of learning continued into the 1900’s, but today, things have changed. Reiki instruction is widely available. Your options to learn it include in-person or online classes. Fees vary, but they are within most people’s reach now.
Reiki is one of the Ravynwood Foundations. These are the basic tools that I used on my own healing journey, and I believe they are essential skills for everyone to learn so that they can support themselves when they need it most. In addition to Reiki, the other tools are meditation, gratitude, self-care, healing creativity, and journaling.

The beginner level, or Level 1, has no pre-requisites except the desire to learn.
You can stop after learning level 1 or continue into level 2 and level 3 training.
Each level builds on what was learned in the previous level.
No one knows exactly how Reiki energy works, but quantum physics may be able to provide the answers one day.
We already know that everything is energy.
Thoughts are things and definitely shape our reality.
Reiki helps us have a positive experience of life by supporting and positively influencing our thoughts and energies.
We can feel more joy, and develop more meaning in our day-to-day lives.
It’s successfully used with physical pain, illness, during times of transition, and for relaxation and stress reduction.
There’s no bad way to use Reiki! You will (quite literally) have the skill in your own hands, and it’s always with you.
