I taught Reiki 1 to four students today, and it was a wonderful time.
Two of my students had taken Reiki before. One had been taught Reiki 1, the other Reiki 1 and Reiki 2. The one that had received two levels, had actually been taught the basics of Reiki 1 only. She was given the distance attunement, and told to read a book to figure out how to use it.
One student was a nurse who is taking massage classes to be a massage therapist. One other is a massage therapist (this one actually had me audition to see if I could do more than talk). One had wanted to learn hands-on healing, and found me through a mutual friend who is also a student. The last was a person who has been thrown into healing through an experience where she died. She had been looking for a new teacher since hers left the area, and she found me through my ad in the paper.
All of the students liked the class, and they all did very well. All the comments on the feedback form I am now using were very positive. One said that the hands-on training was invaluable. The problem is that this was one that had taken Reiki before. Now I have to question how she was taught, if they didn’t actually do Reiki in the class.
But nonetheless, it was a good class with good people.
