How many degrees of reiki are there?
three
There are typically three (sometimes four) levels of reiki training—each one is centered on “attunement” (a ceremony of empowerment), education, and practice. Attunement is what makes reiki unique from other forms of healing touch and energy work.
Do they touch you in reiki?

What makes a good Reiki practitioner?
Reiki can be felt and experienced in endless ways. Trust your experience, make a note of it, and don’t judge the experience that you have. Trust the signs, synchronicities, and messages that you receive. You will feel sensations in the body, the presence of guides, and much more as you continue to practice.
Do you tip your Reiki practitioner?
“For holistic services such as reiki, card readings, astrology, and hypnosis, people tip occasionally, but it’s unexpected” says Levine. “And I think people tip less [than 20 percent] if it isn’t a standard modality.”
