Hi all,

I am very interested in Reiki. I have read quite a few website, but
i seem to get conflicting interpretations.

I really want to learn reiki. I have a friend who has given me a
reiki treatment which has provided me with benifit. But she is only
at level 1 and so cannot teach, and the friend who taught her is no
longer on the scene.

I would love to benefit from reiki myself and be taught and
attuned. But I am a little hazy on the particulars. Some people
say it has to be done direct from the teacher, other say it can be
by distance (mainly website selling home teaching packages). Also
some seem to say the attunement is an instant process, while others
say it takes 3 days per chakra and can be a traumatic process.

Can anyone shed any light on this contra-dication.

The above details don't distract from the deep feeling need I have
to learn Reiki, and I am wanting to find out if there are any
teachers in my area, which don't charge an absolute fortune!

I live in Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, but I have a car and I am
wiling to drive a resonable distance if needed.

Also, I am a Christian and I am wanting to incoperate Reiki within
my faith, are there any other Christians on this site that practice
Reiki and are willing to chat to me?

I really hope someone can help, even if only on one of my queries.

Thanks and God bless
Eloise
