Reiki people come from all backgrounds

I think perhaps that when the ‘person on the street’ thinks about a Reiki practitioner or teacher, they will have an image come to mind of some New Age person, maybe in a kaftan, with incense, crystals, chanting something, and while this may be a valid description of some Reiki people (and I don’t have a problem with that, by the way), Reiki is actually something that is learned and practised by people from a whole load of different backgrounds. A while ago I asked people to let me have their occupations, so I could prepare a list, and I have included that below. If you practise Reiki and you have a job/background that isn’t on the list, let us know by posting a message at the foot of this blog. Here’s the list…

  1. This is so true. I’m a Scaffolder, working within the oil & gas industry. Most people have never heard of Reiki, some have, however do not understand what it is.

    When it comes up in conversation some people also give you some strange looks. The most important factor is that the practitioner enjoys the experience when carrying out there meditation.

    Many blessings.
    Richard Tyrrell.

  2. Yet another occupation for your ever-increasing list of jobs.

    Retired Engineering Training and Development Manager.

    Walk in Peace

  3. I work in the Veteran Service Department at a Hospice. My office is in the State Veterans Home.

  4. I am currently a “Shake Your Soul” dance/movement instructor as well as a human rights consultant for people with developmental disabilities. I am an Usui/Tibetan and Karuna Reiki Master Teacher, practicing and teaching Reiki. I am loving my retirement!

  5. Atma namaste to all of you,
    I’m a Medical doctor, I used to be a forensic pathologist but now I work as Risk manager in an hospital.
    I’m an Usui’s Pratictioner, but also GMCKS Pranic Healing follower.
    Love to all of you from Italy.
    Giorgio
