What I Wish I Knew Before Taking My First Reiki Training
If I could go back and talk to baby healer me, fresh out of the basic spiritual girl phase and about to step into my first Reiki training… whew.
I'd sit myself down and say, "Babe, you’re not just learning a new skill… you’re about to upgrade your entire life."
Because everyone talks about Reiki like it’s a simple little healing class. And while it's absolutely beautiful and high-vibe, it's also deeply transformative and can get a little messy in the best way possible.
So, if you’re about to click “Enroll” or you’ve been lurking on Reiki training pages for months, let me give you the real talk.
It's a Glow-Up for Your Soul
When I signed up, I thought, "Cool, I'll learn a healing technique and start practicing on others." But here’s the reality check: The first person Reiki healed was me.
It cracked me open in all the best ways. My intuition got louder, I started shedding old emotional weight I didn’t even know I was carrying, and I swear I started glowing from the inside out. Reiki isn’t just a certification; it’s a frequency shift.
The Attunement Will Change Everything
The day you receive your attunement, your energy field gets a major upgrade. It's like you're given VIP access to the Universe.
Suddenly, you'll see synchronicities everywhere—repeating numbers, signs, and wild "coincidences." And yes, you may find that some people in your life naturally fall away while new, more aligned souls show up. The Universe is simply making space for the right people to join you on your journey.
You Don't Have to "Feel" Energy
Confession time: At first, I didn’t feel the heat, the tingles, or the electric buzz everyone else talked about, and I worried I was doing it wrong.
What I quickly learned is that Reiki is intelligent. It knows exactly where to go, whether you feel it or not. Some people get fireworks on day one, while others feel it slowly over time. Either way, the magic is still flowing to you and your clients.
Self-Reiki is Non-Negotiable
If you’re too busy for self-Reiki, you’re too busy to hold space for others.
Your energy is your number one business card as a healer. Even 10 minutes in the morning or before bed will keep you clear, grounded, and glowing. Think of it as a non-negotiable part of your energetic self-care, like skincare for your aura.
Your Healing Comes First
This is a big one. You simply can't pour from an empty cup—or pour clean, clear energy into others if you're running on fumes.
Do your own healing work. Get your own Reiki sessions. Take your rest days. The more you nourish your own energy, the more magnetic and powerful you become for others.
The truth is…
A Reiki training isn't just another workshop; it's a portal. You walk in as one version of yourself and walk out with an expanded energy field, a shifted perspective, and your intuition turned all the way up.
If you’ve been feeling a nudge, it’s not a coincidence.
Your energy is calling you.
