Why Distributed Learning?
In our years of teaching Reiki we found a majority of people have had difficulty finding ongoing local classes in their area. Often studios would close down, teachers would move, etc, leaving the students with a desire to learn feeling empty. We thought that having a distributed learning academy for them would not only solve the short term problem, but allow others all over to train whenever they wanted and not be dependent on the studio hours.
However, from our experience and other students’ feedback, straight instructional videos are only good to a certain extent. It’s somewhat against Reiki principles to be staring at a bright electronic TV screen while trying to “clear the mind” and practice Reiki. We know many people who have purchased DVDs in excitement, only to find six months later, they’re hidden in a drawer somewhere.
From this, our training method was developed. Our model is to:
- Provide the outline for what needs to be learned to progress
- Provide short, easy to follow instruction
- Provide all the supporting materials
In this way, students are actually able to progress faster than in most situations, not only because they can practice and get instruction as much as they want, but their instructions is very simple, clear, and easy to apply.
Will my computer work for distributed learning?
The site is developed to run on any standard computer, even low end computers with low-end broadband Internet service. The audio is optimized so it can be loaded quickly and play smooth, however, depending on the health of your computer and speed of your Internet service, your experience may vary.
