Reiki For Beginners: What Reiki Is — and Why So Many People Are Confused

Описание: What is Reiki — and why are so many people confused about Reiki — even after they've taken a class? If you’ve learned Reiki but still aren’t sure what it actually is, how it works, or what you’re supposed to be doing, this video is for you.

In this Reiki for Beginners lesson, I explain why so many people walk away from classes feeling uncertain or unsatisfied. We’ll look at how Reiki is traditionally defined as a system of natural healing, not just generic “energy.” And how different styles and modern applications developed, and why those techniques, protocols, and outcomes often get mistaken for Reiki itself.

This video is especially helpful if:
you took a Reiki class but still feel confused,
you learned techniques but not a clear daily practice,
you’re unsure whether what you learned was Reiki or another form of energy work, — and maybe even if you haven't taken a class yet, but want clarity before doing so.

We’ll also touch on how clear language supports your own learning, your work with others, and shared understanding within the global Reiki community.

This is an overview meant to help you understand what you learned, decide whether you need anything more, or simply move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
