Are you curious about how many spiritual classes, trainings and certifications you need to take? Here’s what you need to know…

The Spiritual Advice I Question

I was just listening to a podcast where the host was doing a live reading for a client. We’ll call the client Sue and the host Reilly.

Sue’s question for the reading was what to do about the spiritual gifts that were coming to her since she did Reiki 1 training.

Reilly asked a few questions to clarify which is all good. Then she told Sue that she’d been a healer in many lifetimes and she didn’t really need to take a lot of classes. The host/reader explained she hadn’t taken many classes herself. She just knew stuff.

Okay that’s cool and I get that. It’s like when people ask me if I’m certified to read the Akashic Records and I respond that I was doing this a decade before Linda Howe’s first book was even published. There were no certifications back then.

Reilly went on to say that taking a bunch of classes can actually mess you up because it can get in the way of you remembering and learning your own stuff. Hmm, really? I’m not so sure about that.

Here’s what I can tell you from what I learned years ago. Taking spiritual classes, trainings and certifications is an awesome thing to do for LOTS of reasons. Here are 15 that I came up with.

15 Wonderful Reasons to Take Spiritual Classes

1. Meet like-minded people and share the experience.
2. Make new friends – I made two good friends in classes 30 years ago!
3. Discover other things from new people you wouldn’t find out about on your own.
4. Learn a method that lots of people have learned – so you know it works. You’ll know the language and techniques everyone uses.
5. Meet people to practice with so your learning becomes exponential!
6. Taking classes actually can wake up your memories of doing similar things in past lives. It’s like an activation of sorts. I took an Akashic Records course during COVID and discovered I’ve been working in the records for three decades!I took a beginner course with a big-name teacher. But it wasn’t until I worked with two friends and made up my own prayer to open the records that I had a major initiation. It was complete with sparks of light circling my head and long-lasting full body chills that went on for several minutes. Whoa!
7. The structured environment of a class helps you know the steps to follow in the proper order, building upon the next.
8. Learning in a group setting enhances the experience because other people ask questions you
