FHT Insurance

I'd never heard of Angelic Reiki, so I looked it up and found this:

"Angelic Reiki differs from traditional Reiki systems because the healer channels at Angelic vibration, so the healing is very pure. The Angels themselves do all the attunements and administer the healing in this system through the Angelic Kingdom of Light."
Erm, really? Do angels need insuring?

Hello Supersub,
Thanks for your reply.
As with other forms of reiki we..(therapist)are only a channel, so i can not see the differance?
We need to make sure everyone is covered and made safe.

Hallow, it infuriates me!

That is why I left the FHT, because they did not cover me for courses not accredited by the FHT. I currently am not insured as its too expensive but am learning many different forms of healing modalities. I would think that Reiki alone would cover all of them as the energy after all comes from the same place.

I am sure there are other insurers out there that would cover these other forms of Reiki.

Hello Heaven~spirit...
Thankyou for your reply. Yes i will be leaving them aswell....
Yes i also agree with you about the energy all coming from the same place., and that it shouldl be covered under reiki

I just need to find insurance for both holistic and beauty as i do facials..and the odd eye last tint and pedicure...

You could try Balens, although there's presently a server error message on their website:

hi Girls,
I can assure you that FHT will insure you for any courses accreddited by any PA who are members of the GCMT or any of the other lead bodies they belong to in the holistic field. I can speak to the CEO or Vice president for you if you like. The trouble however lies within the system, for a course to be accredited it must have a core curricula which meets either National Occupational Standards or be aligned to NVQ.
For a therapy to go through these beaurocratic processes there is usually a time period associated with hoop jumping exercises. I have personally never heard of it either and therefore to blame the poor girl who is simply reading from a list of acceptable therapies is possibly a bit unfair. What I would say is you should contact your training provider and ask them to approach FHT with their external accreditations to have the qualification listed.
Davidmh indicated on an alternative thread that his process took 4 years to get a course recognised, my experience is certainly a minimum of 2 years.

I wish you both the best with your ongoing development but please dont shoot the messanger, even if she did seem dissmissive.

Hi again,

The FHT did insure me for courses such as my indian head massage which I took on a day course however I had to become an Associate for that. They would not have insured me as a Member. Since then I've taken Aromatherapy through long distance learning and am not sure whether I would be insured for that. I think the Associate membership is an extra £4 a year.

However you will find that there are millions of Reiki Masters out there teaching these forms of modalities. Its impossible for all of us to get accredited for our courses. I myself do not understand the accreditation process. Does it cost money? I do know of one person who has all his reiki courses accredited but not through the F.H.T.

Gosh but 2 to 4 years for a course to be accredited is certainly a long time. Surely for shorter courses this would be less.

Something to think about though. Thanks Gary.

Hello Gaz,
How are you?
Thankyou for your reply....very indepth one at that. I was thinking of forwarding the details onto the chef of angelic reiki..as i know there is alot of change going on about and around angelic reiki...so it might be a case of watch this space. With regards to the lady on the other end of the phone...she knew about angelic reiki and....in very black and white terms said..it wasnt something they covered...!!!

Now with regards to the tint....i will have to do a patch test before hand? do you wont black or blue black?
lol

Obviously shorter courses will take less time to accredit, however I would question how Aromatherapy could be taught or learnt by distance learning, surely there must be hands on or practical training?
The accrediatation is there to ensure recognised training providers are in effect singing from the same hymn sheet, from experience I have found that some courses who are either self accredited or not accredited are sub standard and it is these courses who contribute to the negative press that CAM is experiencing.
there has been a similar thread on the subject started by MYARKA questioning the rise in training providers during the economic downturn, where we have discussed the importance of having teaching qualifications and vocational experience.
Iwas travelling from London last thursday and overheard someone telling colleagues that she could make more money running reflexology weekend workshops than working at her office job all month.
My point is that if she is in an office job, she hasnt succeeded as a reflexologist and therefore is not best placed to offer training courses and business advice.

Hi Hallos

Why bother FHT about Angelic Reiki when you already have (Usui) Reiki? That's a bit like doing an Indian Head Massage course then doing an Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage with similar techniques but with some ayurvedic knowledge chucked in, or studied Eunice Ingham style reflexology and then went on to precision reflexology afterwards. It's still just IHM and reflexology.

This is when insurance gets silly. But I have to admit if a PA talked to me in that fashion and would tell them where to stick it. So I do have empathy for you.

Best Wishes

Hi Gary
Just to clarify, my aromatherapy was distance, since I could not afford the college fees. It took me 11 months to undertake the course. It was extremely hard and a challenge. Since I have swedish massage, the course notes for the massage were easy to understand.

I don't agree with undertaking a reflexology course on a weekend as one must apply knowledge through practical training etc.,

Yes I have seen Myarka's post about teaching qualifications which is an interesting read.

Also the SNHS is accredited by the International Council of Holistic Medicine as advertised on Healthy Pages.

Reiki Pixie, that is so true - they all come under the same umbrella!

Hello Reiki Pixie,
Thanks for your reply. Yes i see where you are coming from with regards to the insurance side of things.....i really have no idea why they do not cover it and with regards to how they dealt with me well that was just shocking.

Hence im looking into other insurance companys.

Thanks Holistic for your reply..i will check them out!

Love and sunshine

Hi HS

That's exactly what I meant - the same umbrella. If recent training (in the case of Hallos) is Angelic Reiki and previous training is in Usui Reiki. How can you judge or quantify such differences when dealing with subtle energy that most scientists and skeptics don't believe in?

It would be different if it was a massage therapist that studied ear candling. A completely different technique with health and safety issues even though it includes face and neck massage as part of the routine. That should be stated as a separate therapy on the insurance policy.

Best Wishes
