I currently hold the highest UK qualification in reiki and will soon be opening my own clinic!!! but I would like too offer that little bit extra and was thinking that a 'complimentary" (geddit?) homeopathic coarse would be a really good "USP" for my business?!?
Anyone done this???

In reply to andic: A better course for you to take; http://www.all4kidsuk.com/category/tutors-childrens?query=english
Start with something basic like a month long course, before working yourself up to a more intensive 5 minute course.
In reply to andic:
In the traditions of homeopathy you don't want to do a course, what you need to do is speak to someone who's spoken to someone who's spoken to someone who's been on a course.
The more people in the chain distancing you from the actual course, the better the training you will receive

"The concept of ki underlying Reiki is speculative and there is no scientific evidence that it exists; a 2008 systematic review of randomised clinical trials concluded that "the evidence is insufficient to suggest that reiki is an effective treatment for any condition. Therefore the value of reiki remains unproven."[4] The American Cancer Society[5] and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine[6] have also found that there is no clinical or scientific evidence supporting claims that Reiki is effective in the treatment of any illness."
I'm guessing andic that you are a bit overqualified for Homeopathy.

In reply to andic: Tempting just to join those posting jokes (& homoeopathy certainly deserves its poor reputation IMHO) but if your serious, it'll take several years. I have a friend who 'qualified' a couple of years ago & I think she studied for something like 5 years

I have a friend who trained as a Kanic (spelling?). It's the mystical practice of manipulating Karma.
Anyway, I was having trouble getting started in the morning and he prescibed a treatment and it worked. So, my recommendation is you train as a Karma Kanic.
If it helps the treatment he used involved glow plugs.

That bit extra could be 'Slappra'
When folks come into your clinic you get up, approach them in a non-threatening way, but then slap them round the face for a bit saying 'Go away and learn some common sense' until they leave.

Ok I think I can help:
My Aunt has a book on Homeopathy, I estimate it to be about A4 sized and at least half an inch thick. About 4 years ago I saw this book from a distance of a couple of feet away...
1/2" of paper is about 100 pages. So assuming it is double sided and 300 words per page that is about 60000 words. I saw the spine of this book which had somewhere in the region of half a dozen words on it. So I saw about 10000th of the information in the book. Since then I have been regularly hit against a bouldering pad (succussion as it is called by homeopaths) and have forgotten more, to the point where I feel I could be described as containing a roughly 3C potency of homeopathic knowledge and the MHRA couldn't prosecute me for it.
If you'd like to buy me a bottle of good gin and a new bouldering mat then I could probably forget a lot more. That'll be £300 for your initial consultation.

I'm sure he'd be very effective if we could succuss him a bit and then bury him with a cows horn full of poo (or is that for a biodynamic prince?)

Nice I probably shouldn't comment though as I have an appointment with a spiritual healer this morning! One of my Mum's friends goes and thinks he's great. I've been slightly bullied into going to see if he can help my post viral fatigue. I have a fairly open mind, but am still rather embarrassed to be going (I have a chemistry degree and PhD). Can't hurt but not expecting miracles (unlike my mother...)

So far I feel pretty tired and rotten (which may be the SH, the bad night's sleep last night, the fact I had little lunch (now rectified but v late), the £500 estimated elec bill waiting for me when I got home, a scary email from work, and/or the fact I often feel bad at the moment). Apparently if it worked I'll feel terrible in a couple of days too ("healing crisis"). No positive effects, placebo or otherwise, yet!
