Certifications for the Alternative Healing Professions

The American Board of Holistic Practitioners offers the titles of Certified Reiki Practitioner and Certified Reiki Master to all who successfully complete the Reiki Certification Training Programs offered by Holistic Studies Institute. There are two major programs in Reiki Training at HSI. The primary level is our Reiki Practitioner Program. In this program students learn how to administer Reiki to clients in order to promote healing. Our Reiki Master Program provides advanced training to Reiki Practitioners. In this program Practitioners learn the advanced techniques that profoundly increase healing skills. Both programs are open to people in the medical professions as well as anyone with the desire to help others.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a system of subtle energy-healing which uses laying-on-of-hands and distant healing techniques to assist clients to reduce stress, create relaxation and promote healing. Japanese Spiritualist, Dr. Mikao Usui, rediscovered this healing energy in the 19th century, and traced its roots back 2,500 years to Tibet. Through intense meditational practice, Dr Usui named this powerful energy, Reiki. His experience taught him that Reiki is subtle energy found everywhere in the universe, which he believed to have a Divine Source. The word Reiki is composed of two parts, Rei, meaning soul and ki, energy. Reiki energy is available to all people, regardless of belief system and is transmitted by a unique system of attunements, which open the individual to transmit the energies though the hands.

Today there are nearly one-million Reiki Practitioners world-wide, who routinely channel Reiki energy to ailing people. Reiki is being used in many settings including hospitals, hospice as well as in private practice and in self-care.

Unique features of HSI's Reiki Programs

Because Reiki has become very popular there are many programs and courses which teach Reiki and provide certification. In comparing these programs, you may find a great deal of difference in terms of what they offer. If you are comparing programs in an effort to find the one which best suits your needs, you will find that HSI's Reiki Training Programs are superior to others. Our training programs offer the following features that most others do not:

  • Accreditation - this is approval by a national professional association. The American Board of Holistic Practitioners accredits our Reiki Programs due to the quality and high teaching standards.

  • Certification - in most other programs certification is granted by the Reiki Teacher alone. In HSI's programs, certification is provided by the American Board of Holistic Practitioners. This certification is a professional certification and makes you a part of a larger network of holistic practitioners. Membership in the ABHP is included in your certification, which will entitle you to have your name and practice listed in the ABHP National Registry and web page (currently under construction).

  • CEUs - are Continuing Education Units. You will earn CEUs for each level of our program, which you complete. (See specific levels for number of CEUs)

Purpose

HSI's Reiki Programs are designed for two purposes; one is to teach students how to channel Reiki Energy, in an effective, ethical manner, as a non-invasive, drugless method of healing. The other purpose of these programs is to provide certification to those who wish to professionally practice as Reiki Practitioners and Reiki Masters.

These programs are open to people in the medical professions, as well as anyone with the desire to help others, from beginner to advanced. Whether your goal is to advance your healing skills and learn more about Reiki or you intend to become a certified professional, this program is open to you.

Reiki Practitioner Program

This is where all prospective Reiki Practitioners begin. This program is open to beginners as well as others who have had some Reiki Training and who wish to obtain more professional certification.
