Is Remote Reiki Right for You? Take the Quiz

Why This Test Matters

Remote Reiki is often presented as a cure-all. But the truth is: It doesn't fit everyone. And that's completely okay! This test helps you get an honest assessment – without pressure, without sales tactics.

At the end of the test you'll receive not just an answer, but also:

• A detailed evaluation based on your personality type
• Concrete recommendations whether Remote Reiki makes sense for you
• Alternative approaches if Remote Reiki doesn't currently fit
• Next steps if you're ready to start

EVALUATION: Count Your Answers

Note how many times you chose A, B, C, or D.

PROFILE 1: The Perfect Candidate (Mainly A and B)

You're ideal for Remote Reiki if:

• You have 6+ answers with A or B
• Especially if questions 1, 4, 5, 6 were answered with A or B

Why Remote Reiki is perfect for you:

You bring the ideal combination of openness and practicality. You're willing to explore new paths without being naive. Your life circumstances (time flexibility, comfort with distance methods) fit perfectly with Remote Reiki.

Your Profile:

• Open to alternative methods
• Practically oriented
• Time constraints or preference for home
• Ready for a process
• Good balance between skepticism and openness

Your Next Steps:

1. Start with a trial package: Book 3-4 sessions over 2-3 weeks
2. Set a clear intention: What do you want to achieve?
3. Keep an energy journal: Note changes
4. Be patient: Give the process at least 3 weeks
5. Combine: Use Remote Reiki in addition to your other health routines

Expected Results:

• Improved sleep after 1-2 sessions
• Emotional balance after 3-4 sessions
• Profound changes after 6-8 sessions

Your Success Formula:

• 2x per week for one month
• Then 1x per week for maintenance
• Intensify as needed

You're the type Remote Reiki was developed for. Let's go!

PROFILE 2: The Curious Skeptic (Mix of B and C, few A)

You fit Remote Reiki if:

• You mainly have B and some C
• You weren't completely dismissive in questions 1 and 6

Why Remote Reiki can still work:

Your skepticism is healthy! The best Reiki recipients are often the biggest initial skeptics. You need proof – and that's exactly what you'll get through your own experience.

Your Profile:

• Scientifically oriented
• Needs evidence
• Wants to understand how things work
• Open when convinced
• Cautious with new approaches

Your Next Steps:

1. Research: Read studies about Reiki (we recommend PubMed searches)
2. Start Small: Begin with one single trial session
3. Measurable Goals: Set concrete, measurable goals (e.g. "improve sleep quality")
4. Track It: Use apps or journaling to document changes
5. Combine with Conventional Medicine: See it as complementary, not replacement

Expected Results:

• You'll likely notice subtle but measurable changes
• Sleep and stress levels are easiest to quantify
• Your skepticism will be replaced by experience – or not, and that's okay

Your Success Formula:

• One trial session without commitment
• If positive: 4 sessions over 4 weeks
• Evaluation: Does it have measurable effects?
• Then decide

Important for you:

Choose a practitioner who respects your skepticism and communicates in scientifically-grounded ways. Avoid "woo-woo" language that would put you off.

Remote Reiki works for skeptics too – often even better because you're not confused by placebo effects!

PROFILE 3: The In-Person Type (Many C, especially at 3, 4, 9)

Remote Reiki is NOT ideal for you if:

• You mainly have C
• Especially for questions 3, 4, and 9

Why Remote Reiki might be difficult for you:

You need physical presence, concrete proof, and direct contact. That's absolutely legitimate! Remote Reiki might be frustrating for you, not because it doesn't work, but because it doesn't match your style.

Your Profile:

• Needs direct contact
• Conventional medicine-oriented
• Skepticism toward the "invisible"
• Preference for established methods
• Difficulty relaxing alone

Better Alternatives for You:

1. In-Person Reiki: If Reiki sounds interesting, try it in person
2. Physiotherapy/Massage: Direct physical contact
3. Psychotherapy: Scientifically grounded, personal contact
4. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Evidence-based
5. Yoga Classes: Community + physical practice

If You Want to Try Remote Reiki Anyway:

Your Adapted Approach:

1. Start with 1-2 In-Person Reiki sessions (if available)
2. After trust-building, switch to Remote
3. Combine with methods you already trust
4. Have no high expectations – let it surprise you

Important:

Don't force yourself. There are many paths to healing. Remote Reiki is one of them, but not the only one. Choose what feels right for you.

PROFILE 4: The Spiritual Seeker (Many D and A, especially at 1, 6)

You're perfect for Remote Reiki, but with a warning:

Why you'll love Remote Reiki:

You're already deeply anchored in the spiritual world. Remote Reiki will feel familiar, perhaps even like "coming home". Your sensitivity to energy will intensify the experience.

Your Profile:

• Very spiritual
• Energy-sensitive
• Experienced with meditation/energy work
• Prefers solo practices
• Seeks deep spiritual experiences

The Warning – very important for you:

People like you risk:

• Jumping from method to method (Spiritual Bypassing)
• Neglecting grounding
• Being too much "up there", too little in the body
• Using spirituality as escape rather than tool

Your Balanced Approach:

1. Use Remote Reiki, BUT: Combine with grounding practices
2. Balance: For every spiritual session → one grounding activity (sports, gardening)
3. Integration: Bring spiritual insights into daily life
4. Boundaries: Not daily – 2-3x per week maximum
5. Embodiment: Ask yourself: "How does this help my daily life?"

Your Next Steps:

1. Remote Reiki as Part of Your Practice: Not as replacement
2. Weekly Rhythm: Not more than 2-3x per week
3. Grounding is Mandatory: Barefoot walking, red foods, root chakra work
4. Community: Find like-minded people but don't lose ground contact
5. Check-In: Regularly ask: "Am I still grounded?"

Your Greatest Gift:

Your sensitivity. You'll experience Remote Reiki deeper than most.

Your Greatest Danger:

Too much spirituality, too little everyday life. Balance is your key.

Remote Reiki will enrich your practice – but don't forget to keep your feet on the ground!

PROFILE 5: The Budget-Conscious (Several D, especially at 10)

Remote Reiki might be difficult if:

• Budget is very limited
• You're mainly looking for free solutions

Your Situation:

Financial constraints are real and important. Healing shouldn't only be accessible to the wealthy.

Your Options:

Free/Low-Cost Alternatives:

1. YouTube Reiki Sessions: Many practitioners offer free distance Reiki on YouTube
2. Learn Self-Reiki: One-time training costs, then lifelong self-application
3. Reiki Circles: Free or affordable community sessions
4. Bartering: Offer your skills in exchange for Reiki sessions
5. Sliding Scale: Many practitioners offer income-based pricing

If You Want to Try Remote Reiki Anyway:

Budget-Friendly Approach:

1. Save for a starter package: 3-4 sessions as kickstart
2. Then Self-Reiki: Learn it yourself for daily application
3. Maintenance: 1x per month professional session, if possible
4. Free Resources: Use free meditations and techniques between sessions

Our Tip:

Speak openly with practitioners about your budget. Many offer:

• Introductory prices
• Package discounts
• Social pricing
• Free trial sessions

Important:

No healing is worth putting you in financial hardship. Choose sustainably.

Special Profiles: Special Situations

The "I'm-At-My-Limit" Profile (Question 2: A, Question 4: D)

If you chose "A" (at limit) for question 2 AND "D" (dislike touch) for question 4, Remote Reiki might be perfect for your crisis situation.

Why:

• You urgently need help
• You can't/won't leave home
• Touch is too much right now
• Remote Reiki comes to you

Your Emergency Protocol:

1. Immediately: Book a trial session
2. This Week: 2-3 sessions for acute stabilization
3. Next Weeks: Evaluate if it helps
4. Parallel: Also consider therapeutic support

You might need a multi-approach: Remote Reiki + therapy + possibly medical help.

The "Totally-Curious" Profile (Question 7: D)

You have no specific problems, just curious? Perfect!

Your Approach:

• One session for exploration
• No expectations
• Simply gather experience
• Then decide

This is completely legitimate! Many of the best Reiki recipients started out of pure curiosity.

Conclusion: What's YOUR Result?

Read through your main profile again:

• Profile 1: Perfect Candidate → Let's go!
• Profile 2: Skeptic → Try it scientifically
• Profile 3: In-Person → Consider alternatives
• Profile 4: Spiritual → Balance and grounding
• Profile 5: Budget → Creative solutions

The Ultimate Question: Should You Try It?

YES, if:

• You're mainly Profile 1, 2, or 4
• You're curious (Profile 7:D)
• You're willing to give it 3-4 sessions
• You're open to surprises

MAYBE, if:

• You're Profile 3 but very curious
• You have budget constraints (Profile 5) but find creative solutions
• You're skeptical but willing to experiment

NO (or not now), if:

• You're completely against alternative methods
• You have no openness whatsoever to energy concepts
• Your financial situation doesn't allow it
• You're suffering from severe psychological crises (then FIRST seek professional help)

The Most Important Sentence:

Remote Reiki is a tool, not a dogma. If it fits you, wonderful. If not, there are many other paths. What matters is that you walk A path – whichever feels right.

Your Next Steps (Based on Your Profile)

If your profile says "Yes" or "Yes, but...":

1. This Week: Research practitioners (read reviews, find one that fits your style)
2. Next Week: Book a trial session
3. Afterward: Evaluate honestly – does it fit?
4. Then: Either continue or let go without guilt

If your profile says "Maybe not":

1. No Rush: Keep the information
2. Maybe Later: If life circumstances change
3. Alternatives: Explore other paths
4. Stay Open: You can change your mind

The test is over – now your decision begins.

Whatever you choose: Honor your truth. Healing has many faces. Remote Reiki is one of them.
