Taking a few introductory classes, someone can make certain of their interest in pursuing this practice. Many people have learned and continued the steps required. The steps to take to earn reiki art certification are very specific.

This is an alternative medicine according to its proponants. It was started by a Japanese Buddhist by the name of Mikao Usui. Practitioners believe that universal energy is being sent to the recipient through the palms of their hands.

The purpose of transferring this energy is to promote healing in the body of the recipient. The practitioners call it a universal life force based on qi. There is no concrete evidence that this is a medical treatment producing any results. It is referred to as a pseudoscience, not a science.

Becoming certified as a Reiki Art Master requires following a certain course of action. There is a specific class to qualify someone. There are prerequisites that have to be fulfilled before certification can be granted.

The candidate must first complete the classes, Reiki I and II. Then they must practice for at least six months. Finally, he or she must draw the three sacred symbols from memory.

Certification is granted by ICRT Licensed Reiki Master Teachers. This instructional organization either approves or disapproves the candidate. It sounds official, however, there is no confirmation of the success of this practice.

In spite of research being done, there is not any clinical evidence that there are health improvements resulting from it. The individuals who feel that improvements have taken place may be influenced by the placebo effect. This means they are convinced they feel better simply because they believe in the power of reiki.

Disbelievers, of whom there are many, criticize the practice as taking advantage of gullible people. The harm caused by relying on it is not caused by any action on the part of the practitioners. It is caused by the absence of actual medical care that is not administered because people forego medical treatment when relying on this practice.

The Catholic church has announced disapproval of this practice. They consider it inappropriate since it is incompatible with Christian doctrine and shows no health benefits. It is not used in any Catholic health care centers or used by Catholic chaplains or anyone associated with the Church.

There are sacred symbols the Reiki Masters use in a practice known as attunement. First, he or she must reach the requisite level of attunement. Without having done that, they cannot administer to others with the necessary power. A symbol is traced in the air followed by the sacred name being repeated three times.
