One of the more popular celebrities in the National Association of Reiki Practitioners, Ann Atman is an American yoga instructor, teacher, wife, mother, and author. Ann has been active in her yoga and Reiki as a practitioner for more than 35 years. She has achieved many levels of success both personally and through her work as a teacher. Her background in teaching yoga in San Francisco, California, where she was a student of Dr. Michael Cutler, inspired her interest in writing about the practice and its practices.
Height And Gender Differences: According to Atman, “tallest woman may not have the patience or empathy to really give to others.” This is a very good starting point for understanding her viewpoint on the matter. The practice of Reiki is not intended to benefit size, but rather to enhance personal well-being and peace within the receiver. Reiki is an ancient healing art, and in order for the energy to be expressed in its fullest effect, it requires the receiver’s correct posture and gait.
Height And Gender Distinctions: According to Ann Atman, “size doesn’t matter in Reiki, but loving relationship does.” This, along with her personal and professional experience has given her the insight that this is a very important factor in the choice of a career and in the optimal age for starting one. It is important that you, as a beginner, find a teacher who is the same or taller than you. Height is not an issue for most instructors, as they tend to teach in standard size suits. If your partner is taller than you are, however, it may be a good idea to discuss this with your instructor, as they will probably have a preference for taller students.
