Reiki Certification - Can it be done from home?

Question

Hey there,

I've been interested in Reiki for some time now and am hoping to progress to the point where I can become certified in it. I've had a first level attunement preformed on myself and know the basics so far.

My question is though, are there any 'at home' courses for Reiki that can earn you certified with the IRAP ( The International Association of Reiki Professionals - http://www.iarp.org/ ) ?

I've located a few websites so far, but am unsure of their authenticity. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello bluezabrak,

Although there are Reiki practitioners that offer distance attunements, most traditional Reiki Masters only pass attunements to students in-person.  

The IARP may have different rules for the practitioners that are certified by them.  I looked over their website and could not find any information on the subject.  If I were you, I would go to their contact page and ask them if they support distance attunements.  If they did, you could then look over their list of IARP certified Reiki Masters and find one that offered that service and that you felt good about.  

Another option would  be to get on-line and look for Reiki Masters in your geographic area.  Reiki is one of the most popular forms of energy healing and it is usually fairly easy to find one.  

Good luck to you in your search to become a better healer.

Reiki is hands-on. You'd have to learn it in person. Otherwise you can only study it theoretically.
