Thank you for your interest in Reiki Rays. You are now well on your way to uncovering the mysteries of healthy living and communing with the Divine. It is our goal to make the journey as fulfilling and spiritually rewarding as possible. This handbook contains information about how your program will work. It will answer many questions that you may have about what to expect and how to approach your courses. Please read this booklet thoroughly and carefully. Should you have any questions, we'll be glad to answer them. What is a Holistic Health, and how does it differ from Modern Medicine? A holistic health or spiritual wellness consultant is, in many respects, an educator and coach. If you decide to practice in this field, you will not be a diagnostician or physician. As a natural wellness educator and facilitator, you will ultimately help people help themselves by making them aware of options they might have not known were possible, therefore allowing them to make the best decision for them and their families. While we encourage MD’s and other traditional practitioners to enroll at Reiki Rays, our focus is on empowering individuals with information that can improve health and well-being, and not to prepare individuals for a career in medicine. When you receive your course materials, you will also find a packing list. Please check everything carefully. It is the student’s responsibility to report any discrepancies with textbooks or materials to the student records office within 30 days of enrollment. At the top of the packing list will be the name of the program you have been sent. We want our students to invest their time and energy toward their chosen course program. Please check to make sure that the program you received is the one in which you enrolled. If you have any questions, call 785-331-3929 or email your admissions advisor. While we make every effort to be accurate in our work, mix-ups can happen. Our distance learning format is designed to provide intellectual challenge as well as concrete information for the beginner and experienced student alike. In order to help many people in many different circumstances acquire an education, we have not set any specific deadlines for completion. Your success depends completely on your dedication to the learning. While we prefer to allow the student to pace their own studies, your advisor can help you create a study schedule that best suits your needs, so feel free to contact him or her for assistance. Even if you enroll locally, you still have the freedom of home study at your fingertips. While it is important not to rush, we also encourage you not to proceed too slowly. The average time of completion for a course is 1-3 months, and for a certification program approximately 6-12 months. This is based on an average of about 10 hours per week, or completion of one course a month. Some courses are more in depth, and require memorization and/or hands on case studies, so those programs may take longer. Requirements As Reiki Rays expands, so do our course offerings available. Check in regularly to see our new classes and programs, or suggest a new program or service to us. We will do our best to meet your needs, or find a fellow school or provider who can. When to Send Tests and Assignments Many students wonder whether they should send exams one at a time, or whether they should complete all the course work before sending material to us for grading when enrolled in a certification program. You may send in each test as you complete it, or you may send in all the tests for one course together. Whatever you decide, please make a photocopy of all tests and assignments. Should your package get damaged or lost in the mail, and you do not have copies, you will be expected to show competency in the material by either redoing the test or finding an alternative testing method. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please print your name as you will like for it to appear on your certificate on each exam that you submit to the school, Otherwise we will use the name used at time of enrollment to place on all diplomas. Advanced Standing and Waived Courses If you have enrolled at advanced standing level or will be waiving any courses, you must provide us with official transcripts or a letter of recommendation within six (6) weeks of enrollment. Students are responsible for requesting that an official transcript from any previous school be sent directly to us for evaluation. If we do not receive the official transcripts and GHU finds that previous course work does not meet the school's standards, additional coursework and fees may be required. Transferring Credits From Reiki Rays RRI credits may be transferable to other schools which emphasize holistic, metaphysical, or spiritual studies. Just as we have certain requirements for accepting transfer credits earned elsewhere, other institutions have their own requirements. Each individual credit from one school must be evaluated by the receiving school. Reiki Rays objectives are to provide professional caliber education in holistic, metaphysical, and spiritual studies to those who wish to learn them. We keep our tuition affordable and flexible to assist all those who want to learn how to heal and be healed. Reiki Rays offers these courses and services for holistic and spiritual enrichment with the hopes that our students and graduates use these skills for personal and planetary transformation. When you are ready to mail your work to us, it is important to remember a few things:
Unless you are
instructed otherwise by an adjunct faculty member, please mail all course
materials to: Grading Procedures/Grade Scale Reiki Rays does not offer letter grades like a traditional college, but rather works with the student on an individual basis and jointly decide when the student has mastered the material. When this is decided, a certificate of completion is awarded for individual courses, or a certification in the selected field is granted when all requirements of a certificate program are met. Membership Opportunities Upon graduation Spiritual/Holistic Health graduates may join the following organizations, which have agreed to welcome our graduates: American Council of Holistic Healers- Holistic Accreditation of Educators/Schools Healers Unite- Protecting Holistic Access International Natural Healers Association The World Metaphysical Association There are certainly many more fine organizations whose membership is available to you- these are merely those in which we work closely with and have created special arrangements with.
