when choosing a Reiki teacher what is most important to you? knowledge, experience,compassion,locale,free vs.price ?....How do you choose? Is it who you are most drawn too, a recommendation?...or do you believe the right teacher shows up when you are ready?

I don't believe in selecting any one person. There's a lot you can learn by talking to many people. You start to see an interesting picture form.

Besides, it seems these days that people have their "way" and seem to think that is the only way. Wen you distill it all, I feel as if all of that fades away.

HI looking_glass.....I agree totally when you say "it seems these days that people have their "way" and seem to think that is the only way. "...that is so true but unfortunate and based on ego ..

I have taken all my reiki training classes with different teachers for each level...the first teacher came to me through a mailer offering classes in my area...so i would say that the teacher came to me ..... the next was a referral  ...... i sought out another for the next level....and the next came to me by a series of synchronicity ....Each teacher had different methods and ways to teach ..some I resonated with more than the others ...and each had a unique impact on me..

I was curious to see how others in the forum selected/ found their teachers

Thanks for your input...I appreciate!

Love and light to you...

You know what's interesting is we can all learn it different ways, and then through the other things we learn in life or through our experiences those views begin to change and somehow we find ourselves on the same page. I've found that with a lot of the things I thought I knew. Turned out I didn't know a thing. I'm still content with it though.

yes interesting point....I think every day there are always new things to learn ....that`s what shapes us as human beings....the more we ask questions and seek out the answers ... the more we evolve and grow...
