Reiki online was not a household term 15 years ago. It was something that you had to learn in person and spend a few days from a master. Some schools even required you to pass a test before taking level 3.

Reiki online has been a trend since the late nineties and is becoming more and more popular now. People want to become a healer instantly, and do not want to spend days learning it. They prefer to learn the material online or download the digital manual and get the Reiki attunement from a distance.
