Healing doesn't mean an end of disease or illness; true healing takes place when we find peace within ourselves no matter our outer life circumstances

You may have noticed the “I practice Self Reiki everyday” badge on my site. The origin of this badge is from the website of New York based Reiki Master Pamela Miles; a pioneer of Reiki programmes in medical settings; who has been practicing Reiki healing and teaching for over 20 years.

I first came upon Pamela's website through a link from Reiki Federation Ireland advertising her book, “Reiki, A Comprehensive Guide”. Pamela has used Reiki in medical settings as well as private practice for many years and offers a straightforward, plain talking approach to Reiki.

Although one of the better known complementary therapies, it is still rare for a GP or Medical Consultant to refer a client or patient to a Reiki Practitioner. Within Ireland Complementary or Alternative Medicine(CAM) is self-regulated with only guidelines provided from state services, as to how best to choose a consultant.  To become a Reiki practitioner requires minimal training – two weekend workshops, is enough to receive your certificate. How, therefore, are members of the public to decide whether or not a practitioner is genuine or not.

Like any “practice”, it is not enough to know the theory of a subject in order to provide the service. Reiki is a healing and spiritual PRACTICE, and it is through using Reiki self care; daily; that you truly begin to understand it and yourself. The theory can be taught over a weekend, but in order to understand it, you must use it, personally, as well as professionally. Only then can you truly call yourself a Reiki Practitioner.

If you are a Reiki practitioner, practising Reiki self care daily, why not get your own badge of honour, visit Pamela Miles website for the meta tag and let your clients know you are a genuine Reiki practitioner
