An Experiment in Teaching Reiki (Part 1 of 5)

by Sundar Kadayam on March 07, 2013

I’ve written here before about my Reiki Journey with Frans Stiene.
I had originally started teaching Usui Tibetan Reiki in late 2004. In early 2005, I received Komyo Reiki training, and within a month of practicing it, I stopped teaching Reiki altogether. For me, the miraculous life experiences with the practice of Reiki were proceeding way ahead of my intellectual understanding of the same, and I felt that I couldn’t really teach anyone the system of Reiki with integrity, as I myself didn’t know what the heck was going on with me.

A few of my Shinpiden students have been called to teach recently, and they’ve asked me to help them develop their courses. Apart from reminding them to teach the Usui Reiki Ryoho techniques at the core of the class, I’ve had to take some time to find what I wanted to share, from my own experience, about this important choice and its challenges.
