Online Reiki Course to Teach Healing Through Energy

Posted on by

An online Reiki course might sound like a bit of an oxymoron. Is not the whole point of reiki the use of touch to promote healing? Is not the use of reiki supposed to be guided by a master who is physically present, and who can help you learn how to use your skills by teaching you personally? An online Reiki course seems to contradict those claims, and may seem like a scam – but you would be surprised. So read on, and prepare to learn something about the field of Reiki.

To answer this question, let us look at what Reiki is, versus what it is claimed to be. Some of its greatest and oldest practitioners consider Reiki to be based in spiritual energy. They claim to be able to take this energy from the atmosphere around a person and to use this energy in connection with the patient’s in order to help them.

Reiki is based on the idea that a human being has certain energy centers in their body, called ‘ki’ centers, which, if the person falls ill, or suffers some debilitating condition, are blocked by the pain. A body in pain is analogous to a dam, accumulating water, while cracks appear in the dam walls. Online reiki courses work by teaching you how to help a person re-align their ‘ki’ centers – which is the aim of all reiki practitioners. Such blockage is mostly caused by stress.

Good reiki practitioners know how to drive healing power to clear out the obstructions caused by stress, keeping the energy flowing thereby.

Recent teaching methods developed by reiki teachers have enabled the acquisition of reiki knowledge to take a much shorter time than before. There are reports of people learning 3 levels of Reiki practice within 3 days, completing their training within three months. Thus the online reiki course, that promises results online in a short amount of time, is not a myth. It exists, and is as useful as conventional reiki teaching in imparting the knowledge and results of the same.

Moreover, many major reiki masters deem it possible that distance learning of Reiki is entirely possible, thereby obviating the need for teachers and students to meet one-on-one. As this type of reiki instruction implies that distance learning of Reiki is possible, it is the basis of the proliferation of online Reiki courses. So far from being uncertified, these courses are based on the latest school of thought in reiki teaching, which argues that a pupil does not need to be in direct contact with the reiki master in order to learn the methods of reiki.

Therefore if you were hesitant about choosing an online Reiki course over a personalized, face-to-face course, do not be hesitant for a second longer. Reiki can be just as efficaciously taught online as personally.

Golf Course Types by Ownership

One of the things that a newcomer to the World of golf would probably like to know is what the difference is between different types of golf course. This question is more complicated than you may first imagine as there are really three different ways to express what category a particular golf course fits into.

The first is by setting and categories a course by whether it is set in heathland, woodland or by the ocean etc. The second type is by length, where the course is categorized essentially by the length of time it takes to play a round, so these types will be pitch & putt, full length or executive, so called because executives may not have time to play a round on a full length course of 18 holes. Most executive courses are only 9 holes.

In this article though we are going to look at how golf courses can be categorized by ownership. The above two types of categorization allow you to know what to expect when you turn up to play. However, this third type of categorization determines whether or not you will be allowed access to the course at all.

The following is not an exhaustive list of course types but these are the most popular types of course that you might come across.

Private Golf Courses are courses which are owned by a golf club and they only allow play by members of the club. If you aren’t a member of the club then you can’t play, unless of course you are lucky enough to be invited to play by someone who is already a member.

Public Golf Courses can be courses owned by private organizations or individuals or by other organizations such as local businesses. The key here is that the owner charges a fee for playing. Essentially this means that the course is open to be played by anyone who can afford to pay the fee.

Courses also exist which are essentially a combination of the above two. Club members can play at any time. The public are allowed to play but usually only on specific days of the week, or times of day.

Municipal golf course are owned by the local government. They operate like public golf courses but the money paid for the green fees goes to the them as opposed to a private individual or company.

Some residential areas have their own golf course which is designed to be played by the local residents only. They tend to be run by the community itself and as such are not open to the public.

Finally there is the resort golf course. Resort golf courses are owned and operated by a holiday resort or a hotel chain for the pleasure of their guests. Play may not be restricted to resort guests however, and so you may find some resort courses are open to the public in return for a fee.
