Let the great outing begin!

My entire career, I have struggled with the issue, of less than credible people, using my type of career work, as a means to scam uninformed people out of money.  I am not alone, it is the hardest thing to overcome as an intuitive based business...the long history of scam artist, theives, and plain old liars using metaphysics as a shady curtain to hide behind, while taking as much, and quickly as they can from their "clients" is an ongoing crime.

Their excuses are always the same..."but I am helping."  "I am doing it out of love..." This type of scam artist works fast and furiously to get as much money from their unsuspecting client before they are found out.  Teaching classes on intuition and Reiki, are a niche where these types of con artist can work for quite some time without being found out.  They typically pick locations to do this, in small communities where the local knowledge about such matters is minimal and competition is scarce. 

Once established they go to town, destroying the sacred rituals hand down Reiki Master to Reiki Master for decades,  with ultimate care being given to keep the sacred rituals of this practice pure.  They have no concern for the rituals or correct way to teach this healing art, because the true, honest way to teach Reiki takes something they do not want to utilize...time! 

For a true Reiki attunement to be given correctly, one must wait a minimum of 21 days between attunements.  Attunements are the ritual that awakens the healing energy of Reiki in the student.  This awakening is always, without fail, followed by a cleanse of energy.  This cleanse can be minimal in it's physical affects, or quite uncomfortable.  

Anyone who has had a real Reiki attunement will tell you, they knew something had occurred to them, as they stayed quite close to the bathroom, for days following the attunement.  The biggest giveaway that fake Reiki attunements are being given, is multiple levels of Reiki being taught at once.  This is against the hand down teachings of Reiki, and if one were to be attuned to two levels of Reiki at once, I dare say, the following month would be a bit uncomfortable and awkward for them dealing with two cleanses at once. 

I have heard recently of Reiki classes being given all four levels at one weekend.  Not the real Reiki.  This practice would not only be physically impossible for the Master to conduct, as the attunement is performed via the Master's aura, the cleansing process for all involved would be near debilitating.  

Reiki is not meant to be rushed for a reason.   I cannot go any longer hearing about innocent unsuspecting people paying money for something they are not getting.  If you did actually take Reiki from someone, touting they would teach you all levels in one weekend, or even two of them, thinking you were getting a speedy expedited training, you didn't.  You most likely are not even participating in an authentic Reiki class, as handed down by Dr. Usui, the founder of Reiki. 

What do you do if you have been had in this manner.  Chances are you are not going to get your money back.  You might try though.  Demanding that you be re-attuned in the correct manner will get you no where, as the person who did this to you, probably never had a real Reiki class in the first place themselves.  

Here are the things to look for in an USUI Reiki Master: 

They teach only one level at a time, with a minimum of 21 days between each session.  The third and Master classes are ok to teach closer together, but this usually falls on the discretion of the student's spirit guides and the Master class will fall in line when the student is ready. 

When you go to the Reiki I class, look around you.  If there are more than 8 people, and that is alot for a level I class, leave.  Reiki I attunements are the hardest attunements to perform, they are labor and energy intensive to the Master giving them, and each person in class will have to receive 4 attunements that day.  It takes about 20 - 30 minutes to attune a person to Reiki I, with that many people, you will be sitting in an altered state for up to four hours.

Note:  this amount of attunement is physically exhausting to the Master.  

After the Reiki attunement you will go through a cleanse.  It might be minor in some ways, major in others.  I have taught Reiki for over 7 years.  I do not have a student in my history that did not experience a cleanse, including myself  in all of those attunements.  If you are not feeling something, either physcially, mentally or emotionally...ask questions. 

Most Reiki Masters have their lineage of where they stand in relation to Takata, the woman who was responsible for bringing Reiki to the states.  Ask to see this lineage, and contact the people above them.  That will give you a pretty good idea if you are paying for Usui Reiki or just giving your money away.
