Can I Retake Reiki Training?

I’ve had several people inquire recently if it is possible to retake Reiki training. The answer is absolutely YES!

I’ve encountered 2 main reasons people are interested in retaking Reiki training: 1) it’s been a while since they’ve used it and they would love a refresher or 2) they felt like the class(es) they took weren’t as fulfilling as they expected. So let’s talk about both of these.

1) Once you are attuned to Reiki, your ability to channel Reiki never wears off, even if it’s been decades since you consciously tapped into the energy. But if you’re feeling a bit “rusty” and would love a refresher and an additional attunement, it is absolutely fine to take the class again! This will not only help boost your confidence in your ability to channel Reiki, but it will also help strengthen your connection to the Reiki energy. So if you feel called to take a refresher class, go for it!

2) Sometimes people take a Reiki class and feel like they didn’t really vibe with their teacher or they feel like the class was somehow incomplete with the level of detail the class included. If either of these things resonate with you, please know that it is absolutely okay to take the class(es) again with a different teacher. I actually took Reiki I twice myself because I didn’t vibe with my first teacher AT ALL and was disappointed in my overall experience. I later decided to take the class again with someone I knew and it was an ENTIRELY different experience. I learned way more in the “refresher class”, and the attunement felt tremendously more powerful and aligned for me. I then went on to take Reiki II and Reiki Master Teacher training with that same teacher.

I am a big believer in energetic alignment when it comes to choosing your Reiki practitioner or your Reiki teacher. So if you are looking for either of those things, don’t be afraid to chat with them before you decide to work with them! I always encourage my clients and students to “interview” me before they move ahead with sessions or classes so they can make sure that I feel like a good fit for them. And I know full well that I am not for everybody. It’s nothing personal; my energy just may not be alignment with theirs at the moment, and that’s okay.

If you are interested in retaking Reiki classes and you are drawn to working with me, I encourage you to reach out so we can chat about it! You can join a class that I have scheduled (you can see my current list of classes here) or we can set up a private class if that is a better fit.
