questions & answers
The proverb: “When the student is ready, the teacher appears …” is maybe true of you being curious about Reiki. You may have found out about Reiki at this perfect juncture of your life …
What are the benefits of learning Reiki Privately?
There is no substitute for 1-on-1 learning or small group learning, where personal guidance can be given at every moment. With most workshops you need to plan well in advance – with us you can start learning Reiki within days, and see the benefits of learning from experienced teacher. Further, many workshops are filled with ‘padding’ i.e. the history and origin of Reiki (which can be looked up online) – we’ve taken all these aspects into account in designing our course to be relevant, succinct and focused on practical development.
And for anyone truly serious about learning Reiki – an online course is no substitute for time with real teachers.
Why Life Power?
Many practitioners nowadays offer Reiki, however, very few have been initiated by true Reiki Masters and take the art seriously. We’ve been practicing for over a decade, have seen the benefits first hand and on our clients. Our primary focus is teaching and empowering others to use Reiki for their own benefit and others. Most of our students have started out as clients, seen the benefits and decided to practice themselves.
Can anyone benefit from & receive Reiki? Is it a religious practice?
Yes. Anyone can benefit from Reiki regardless of age, sex or religion. Reiki is universal energy open to every living being. Ultimately, it matters not what our belief system is; spiritually it makes no difference.
Will Reiki cure my illness?
Reiki will work alongside conventional medicine and treatments. It can bring about many benefits that may help promote healing. Reiki is not a cure, rather a holistic spiritual practice.
Is Reiki Safe? How does it feel?
Reiki is 100% safe, it offers no side effects whatsoever. It ‘feels’ no different than being in a deep meditative state.
What should I wear? Is Reiki a massage?
Other than footwear you remain clothed throughout, in whatever is comfortable. Reiki can be performed either lying flat on one’s back or seated. Reiki is not a massage and as it involves energy, touching is not required – the practitioner will simply place their hands slightly over your body.
What Does Reiki Help With?
Ongoing practice of Reiki can unlock a number of benefits, which our clients have experienced first hand. Again, this is not an exhaustive or definitive list, however, the benefits are plentiful:

What is an attunement?
Reiki is not taught as a ‘technique’ per se, rather it is transferred to the learner by the Reiki Master during a process called attunement, which is a type of initiation, which helps open various chakras, enabling Reiki energy to flow.
How long does a session last for?
An average session lasts 60 minutes, all sessions are tailored to suit you, and can go for up to 90 minutes. Our training courses go for 3-4 hours.
How may sessions should I have?
This is very dependant upon the individual. Some people just have one session “to try it” and others have a course of regular sessions. It is important to discuss what you would like to achieve from having Reiki with your practitioner.
We aren’t in the business of up-selling sessions, ultimately our aim is to have you practising Reiki on yourself or others.
Why Does Reiki Work?
Reiki allows you to relax very deeply and in turn helps you to reawaken your inner self. Reiki is will only ever work for your highest good, and you will notice the subtle changes it will bring about. For example, being more compassionate towards yourself or enabling you to see a situation more clearly.
What is Distance Reiki, do you perform this, does it work?
