Hello
A friend has sent me something which claims to be what the Complementary Therapists Association in the UK insist on when registering Reiki Master Teachers. I wonder what you all feel about this: (I'm repeating something without permission or acknowledgement, except for what I've just said, and I hope you will understand why)
Assessments
· Shadow their chosen Reiki Master Teacher for a period of time (2 years minimum) attending teaching courses for 1st Degree, 2nd Degree, RMP & RMT Levels and Reiki Shares during which time if they feel competent they can carry out Presentations of their own courses on 1st Degree, 2nd Degree, RMP & RMT with supervision.
· Attend other Reiki shares
· Collate a detailed portfolio of their experiences, treatments etc. over the period of time they are shadowing their RMT.
· Practical assessment of supervised presentation of courses and Attunements.
· Any manual/handouts to be given to students during supervised courses to be checked by students RMT for appropriate/inappropriate material.
Assessment Criteria for – Portfolios
Portfolios
These should be written up with explanations in diary format and should include aspects such as:
o Reiki shares attended with a detailed description of the share i.e. personal experiences.
o Personal Mediation time
o Self Treatments
o Research and reading carried out i.e. books read stating title and author and a brief synopsis of what the practitioner thought about the material.
o Copies of any magazine, newspaper articles that the practitioner thought relevant to Reiki.
o Experiences while shadowing their chosen RMT.
o Other personal development courses undertaken and their experiences.
o Other personal growth or progression that the practitioner feels relevant to Reiki such as enhanced sensations of energy, more sensitivity, reactions to or from other people, any significant changes, more in tune with intuition etc.
o Practitioners general feelings
Needless to say I don't do anything like this and wondered whether I'm in the minority.
