If you are exploring Reiki courses online, concerns about scams always come to mind. In the real world, you can see what you are buying. You can meet the teacher and talk to him or her. You can see a physical installation. You can judge how busy the reception area is. You can see how satisfied other customers are. You can even walk up to some of them and talk to them. Many people are concerned about online Reiki courses because they feel that it is a leap of faith. After all, it could be a huge scam.
There are many Reiki courses online that have a great reputation and that provide excellent Reiki training, with thousands of satisfied users. They are an excellent solution for studying at home at your own pace. Many people would not have had time to master Reiki if these courses had not been available. But how do you identify them in the crowd? How to separate these from the regular courses that also exist? Remember that there are also bad offline courses, so this should be a concern even if you are not considering Reiki courses online.
Online Reiki Courses: How to Choose an Excellent Course
1. Take a look at the Reiki Master: Take a look at the Reiki master who created the course. How much experience do they have? Do they also have physical practice? How many students have they trained?
2. Support: Does the program offer online support? Is there a forum where I can connect with other students and teachers? This can be really valuable and can give you access to more people than you would find in a fitness class. Many people do not realize this benefit and assume that an online course is a more lonely and isolated process. It can be if you want, but it can also be more social and more attractive than a physical course.
3. Tuning: Distance attunement and personal attunement are fully accepted as an integral part of Reiki. Some people prefer one over the other. So it stands to reason that if you prefer remote attunement over self attunement, you should choose an online Reiki course that offers remote attunement. See the types of tuning they offer.
4. Certification: Does the course offer certification and what type of certification do you get? There are different Reiki schools and there is no real governing body. So make sure you are comfortable with the certifications on offer.
5. Materials: What is the format of the materials? Are they just audio? Are instructional manuals and videos included? What are the bonus materials? How many hours or pages of materials?
6. Follow-up: Is there follow-up support available? Do you provide materials to help you with your own Reiki practice? Only you know the reasons why you are studying or learning Reiki. Make sure the course meets your needs and positions you for the most benefit and most or all of your goals.
7. Warranty: If there is no money-back guarantee, do not buy the course. This is the best safety net. All credible online Reiki courses offer money-back guarantees. Up to 60 days! They trust your product. They know they will meet their needs. And they are willing to put their money where there is mouth. They don’t want dissatisfied customers and they get enough happy customers to know that they will only have to refund in the rarest of circumstances. Why buy from someone who doesn’t have that confidence in your product?
These tips can be applied even for offline Reiki courses. Online Reiki courses are not for everyone, but for many they are the superior solution.
