Hi Susan

Are you intending using what you learn in this course as part of your therapy practice? I ask because, if you are, you might have to check that your insurer will accept this course as being a professional training. Some insurers can be reluctant to give insurance on distance learning courses.

Hi susand.

Do not despair there are many ways to incorporate the chakras through most of the healing modalities available. Whilst I personally do not agree with the chakras being Incorporated with Usui Reiki I do accept that western Reiki does incorporate them so my view would be to take
(Isis-Training) advice and contact your reiki master then 'bingo' you are insured to work on the chakras 😀 Yes it is as simple as that.

I'm responding to the general question about what I think about distance learning courses (online courses). I'm taking quite a few of them - to do with mind therapies. My reason for doing them is:

1) to add to my portfolio - in a CPD sense, i.e. to show that I am getting new skills
2) to better understand the modalities so that I know when it is appropriate to pass my clients to qualified practitioners in those areas
3) to understand the modalities so that if my clients tell me they are getting X therapy I know what is involved
4) to directly help me... and develop skills to work through my own issues...

I'm really happy with what I am learning. So, I do think that they are good value and a good investment. I find them more valuable than just reading a book - because a book doesn't give you a certificate of completion (i.e. number 1) in list above).

Hi,

Personally I think distance learning is a complete waste of time and money, it's the hands on experience that therapists really benefit from.

I never have, and never would hire a therapist that qualified through long distance learning, they just don't have the experience . I make allowances if it's just the anatomy that's been studied through LDL, but that's it.
