How to Choose Reiki Practitioner
A Reiki practitioner is required to take
responsibility for giving their clients the best
treatment they can offer whilst under their
care, with consideration of the client’s medical
condition and personal situation. A Reiki
practitioner is also required to act with
honesty and integrity, with the wellbeing of
their client top of mind, at all times.
Firstly, do not be afraid to ask questions when
you call the practitioner. In fact, a good
practitioner should have a good of knowledge
about the subject and a broad and varied
knowledge of natural healing. If the answers
to your questions are vague or forced then
look elsewhere. It does not matter whether
the practitioner claims to have practiced for 26
years or 6 months, if they do not know what
they are doing, are poorly trained and
inexperienced they cannot help you.
Most importantly trust your intuition. It does
not matter how knowledgeable someone may
seem, if you feel that something is not quite
right for you; trust your instincts.
Guidelines: When Choosing a Practitioner
or Teacher
Make sure the practitioner or teacher
belongs to an accredited Reiki association
and/or teaches an accredited course. The
Reiki Association of Southern Africa can be
contacted to confirm practitioner and teacher
listings www.reikiassociation.co.za
Initiate contact by telephone. Ensure the
practitioner can readily answer any of your
questions.
If a Reiki practitioner cannot explain Reiki to
you in a candid and understandable manner,
they clearly do not understand it themselves.

Many online sites offer distant Reiki healing
treatments or Reiki training/attunements. This
can be misleading and detrimental to you and
your wellbeing as you have no idea of what
you are getting. Do you want to allow
someone you have never met, who may, or
may not be adequately trained in Reiki, to
access to your Energy field; or worse to teach
you Reiki? It is important to receive healing or
teaching from qualified and accredited
practitioners and teachers in person.
Reiki – Pure, Powerful and Profound
The Reiki energy is intelligent working at
every level of our being, body, mind and spirit.
The body, mind and spirit are not independent
of one another. They are intertwined. What
affects one affects the others.

enhance the client/patient experience, we
