Hi everyone, I’ve been curious about Reiki for a while now, especially its focus on natural healing, relaxation, and balancing energy. The more I read about it, the more I feel drawn to start learning, but I’m still figuring out the best way to begin. Since I have a busy schedule, I’ve been considering an online Reiki course as a flexible option. It seems convenient because you can learn at your own pace, review lessons anytime, and still connect with teachers and other students virtually. At the same time, I wonder how effective it really is compared to learning face-to-face. One thing I’m most curious about is attunements. They’re such an important part of Reiki training, and I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether distant attunements feel as powerful as in-person ones. For those who’ve done it online, did you notice any clear energy shifts? When choosing a course, I think it would help to have: Clear modules covering the basics and practice techniques Some form of live guidance or Q&A A community space to share experiences Certification as a milestone for progress During my research, I came across Bhartiya Institute of Vedic Science, and I liked how Reiki was presented as part of a broader spiritual framework. That made me wonder if learning Reiki in connection with other traditions could provide a deeper perspective. For anyone here who has already completed an online Reiki course: Was it easy to follow? Did you feel confident practicing after finishing? Do you think online learning goes deep enough for serious practice, or is it better as an introduction? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences—both the positive and the challenges. It might help me (and others thinking about it) make a more informed decision before starting the journey. Thanks in advance!
