LOYALTY PROGRAM INFORMATION
The Academy of LivingReiki Therapies Loyalty Program is a new way for you to earn discounts on future purchases. For every £10 that you spend on attunements, you will receive 1 coin. Each coin is the equivalent to £1.00 in digital money. At this time, the Loyalty Program is only available when an attunement is purchased using a Credit Card. Paypal purchases are not covered by the Loyalty Program. Please click on the widget that can be found on the bottom left of the Academy homepage. If you have any questions about the Loyalty Program please contact me directly at livingreikitherapies@hotmail.co.uk
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY ATTUNEMENTS
At this moment in time, the Academy is only accepting payments via PayPal and Stripe. You do not need a PayPal account to purchase your attunements, all you need is a valid credit or debit card then you can follow the onscreen instructions to check out as a guest. I am working hard to bring ApplePay to the Academy this year. You can also use a PayPal payment plan to pay for your attunements over 3 payments, making it more affordable to access more advanced systems and larger packages. The Lifetime Member packages are also available to purchase using PayPal payment plans.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY MANUALS
All manuals are sent by automated download links which will be sent to the email address that you used during the checkout process. Some manuals are not available via digital download so these will be sent via email after your purchase and payment has cleared. You will also receive a "Thank You" email from me when you purchase any attunement from the Academy. Digital downloads of your manuals are valid for 30 days. Once the 30 days have passed the downloadable link will no longer be valid. All e-Manuals are in English but if you need a manual in another language please contact me at livingreikitherapies@hotmail.co.uk to ask if we have a document in your chosen language. If we do then this will be sent to you via email after your payment has been made.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE A REPLY TO MY EMAIL
I will always try to reply to emails the same day that they are sent but on occasions, it can take 2-3 days, especially during busy periods when I am teaching in excess of 40-50 students at one time. If you have not received a reply within 4-5 days {Maximum}, please re-send your email with the word RE-SEND within the subject bar of your email. I kindly ask that repeat emails are not sent a few hours after the original if you have not received a reply. This will not speed up the reply process. Email correspondence must be kept within the subject of the teaching being given and must not exceed over 500 words. This is so I can give each student the same level of support and replies to their emails. This also prevents any confusion or lack of replies to specific questions or queries. If these guidelines are not honoured, I hold the right to withdraw all teaching and refusal to reply to emails.
CORRESPONDENCE AND EMAIL SUPPORT PLEASE READ
At the Academy, we offer full email support to all students before, during and after the spiritual training and distance attunements have been given. We do not offer online video {Skype/Zoom} or telephone correspondence! This is a guideline that has been in place since the academy was created in 2002 and remains intact to this day. All correspondence is given via email or live chat via the Academy chat window. I do not have a work telephone number and I will not give out my personal/private number to anyone other than friends and family so please honour this guideline and do not request telephone or live video chat support. If you suffer from any disability of which I am working with quite a few students who have emotional disabilities as well as physical disabilities such as blindness or deafness, I will always do my best to support you. There are many applications that you can download onto an Apple computer or Windows program which will read the manuals to you if you suffer from full or partial blindness. You can also use programs to dictate to your computer when writing an email. This will give you the ability to send questions or ask for guidance when it is needed. Please understand that I will always do my best to help ALL students at the academy but I also must draw a line when too much is asked of me to do something which is out of my control. If you need help to find programs or applications to help with reading emails/manuals or sending emails please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will help as much as I can.
REFUNDS AND/OR ATTUNEMENT EXCHANGES {PLEASE READ CAREFULLY}
Due to the nature of online spiritual teaching and with all manuals being delivered straight away via downloadable links, refunds and swaps are not offered. The Consumer Rights Act of 2015 is the official legislation in the UK which dictates a mandatory 14-day period in which the seller (The Academy of LivingReiki Therapies) must offer a refund to a customer (Student) if the downloadable links are faulty and will not open. Proof of the faulty Link or a screenshot of the manual, not opening must be sent to me at livingreikitherapies@hotmail.co.uk to request a resend of your e-manual or download link. A replacement e-manual will be offered first if the content of your original document/documents is deemed "faulty". Digital goods must be "of satisfactory quality, "fit for purpose" and "as described," according to the act's legalese. I again stress that refunds are not offered. As soon as correspondence has started and your manuals and/or links have been sent the sale is deemed final.
DISTANT ATTUNEMENTS
Distant Attunements are sent using the Chi Ball {Call In} method or at an appointed time and day. We do not offer Skype or Live One to One attunements. I also ask for all students to leave a minimum of 24 hours before they request for their attunement to be sent. I will then proceed to book your attunement into my diary for a day when I am free. I do not believe in giving the attunements as soon as payment is sent. I strongly believe in the old school method where the teacher and student build a connection during this time as it helps with the attunement process. To reiterate, I will not send attunements the same day as they are purchased unless otherwise specified in the attunement listed or newsletter. If multiple attunements are sent for you to call in at your convenience, these must be accepted with a gap of 2-3 days between each chi ball. Failure to do this, will result in a request for you to call them in again by following this guideline before your certificates and lineages will be issued. The Academy is not a re-selling website. We are a genuine Spiritual Teaching Academy where we hold your Spiritual Welfare at the forefront of our services! Distant Attunements are only offered to suddens 18 years and older.
RE-ATTUNEMENTS
If a re-attunement is required, a 50% fee of the original purchased price will be required before the re-attunement can be booked. A re-attunement is also one that you ask for after the original chi ball/attunement has been sent. For example, if your purchased attunement was purchased at £10, you will be asked to pay a re-attunement fee of £5
CERTIFICATES
Certificates are sent upon request by the student. Unlike other teachers, I do not send out certificates at the same time as the attunement is given. I want students to email me when they feel that the energies have been assimilated and are ready for their certification to be given. I do however kindly ask that certificates are not requested several weeks or months after your attunements have been received! All certificates will come with a hand-signed signature and genuine lineage. Certificates for multi-levelled Attunements will be sent to you with the master level (after you have received all levels). If you have taken your attunement using the call-in method, you must email me after a maximum of 2-3 attunements have been called in. I will not accept certificate requests for more than 5 certificates at any given time. You must also make sure that you send your full legal name, the name of the attunement and the date you received your attunement in order for your certificates to be sent. If you lose certificates or need duplicates for insurance purposes, I charge a small fee of 50p per certificate as an administration fee which is to be paid in full before new certificates are given. If multiple certificates are requested, a discount will be given at my discretion.
Important Notice: If you have called in several attunements at one time, certification will not be issued until you have re-called the attunements following the guidelines within the manuals and on the Academy website by leaving around 2-3 days between each attunement. This is to ensure that you have assimilated the energies and are fully attuned. Once you have called on the energies for a 2nd time, your certificates will be issued.
ULTIMATE ATTUNEMENT PACKAGES - LATE 1990 - EARLY 2000
If you purchased the Advanced Package from me during the 1990s and early 2000 but have not honoured the agreement that was made to receive your attunements in a timely manner, you will be contacted to see if you wish to proceed with the package. If you have changed your mind and no longer wish to proceed with the package, refunds are not given. This is due to the amount of time that has passed since the original purchase and the commitment that you made with the Academy when you signed up for the package. The Academy also holds the right to charge an administration fee of £50 per student to update their records if attunements have not been received for several years.
ULTIMATE ATTUNEMENT PACKAGE UPGRADE
Students who have purchased the Ultimate Attunement Package between 1990 and 2000 can now upgrade their package to become a Lifetime Member of the Academy. If this is of interest, please contact me for more information including the fixed fee to upgrade.
WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE DURING MY DISTANT ATTUNEMENT
Attunements are a unique event for every person so no one will ever experience the same thing. Some people will sense energy more than others. Some students will be given visuals of Colourful Lights, Spirit Guides, Animal Guides, loved ones who have crossed over, Ascended Masters or visions of Beautiful Landscapes. There are however times when nothing is seen or felt. This will quite often worry the recipient of the attunement resulting in a deep inner concern that they have not been attuned. I would like to promise you now that if this occurs it never means that you have not been attuned or that the energies were not received. At times, an attunement will enter into your consciousness with a whisper of energy due to personal situations you might be experiencing at that time which needs to be cleared and resolved before the energies will manifest within your life. At other times, the energies will simply flow into your Etheric background so that they can slowly filter through your consciousness over a period of days, weeks or even months after the main attunement is accepted. Always remember that energy is an intelligent force and simply intending for the Energetic Vibrations to enter into your life is all that is needed. If re-attunement is requested, these can be sent but there is an administration fee of 25% of the original price that you paid for the re-attunement to be sent. This is asked to cover my time to re-book the attunement for a 2nd time into my diary. Attunements work, whether you feel them or not so please make sure that the re-attunement is needed before requesting one to be sent!
AFTER EFFECTS OF ATTUNEMENTS
Distant Attunements can bring forward a whole hose of positive effects but they can also manifest themselves with feelings of being separated from all that you once knew. This occurs when the energies you receive lead you down the path of a Dark Night of the Soul. When this occurs, you are taken on a journey of inner discovery and releasement from all energies that no longer serve your highest good. The Dark Night will last for anything from a few days to a couple of weeks, during which time you can feel a total disconnection from everything you once knew.
THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO TEACH SOMEONE
Under UK law, the Academy of LivingReiki Therapies has the right to refuse teaching to any individual if I do not feel that they are going to honour, respect and follow the recommended guidelines. It is entirely up to the founder of the Academy - Mr Jay Burrell to make these decisions based on his understanding and belief about how services provided will be used. If we feel that the services provided will be taken out of context or used to either cause physical harm to themselves or others. By this, it is stated that if an individual will use the services or try to cure or heal a chronic condition such as cancer and refuse treatment then refusal to work with the individual is justified. The same law applies to the refusal of offering services to individuals if they are known to cause trouble or to abuse their legal status as a customer to receive paid services only to then file for a refund after service and documentation has been given. If we find that someone is not taking the time to honour the commitment it takes to work with energy and to receive distant attunements the right to refuse teaching is justified. The Academy of LivingReiki Therapies holds these rights and we kindly ask that they be respected. Any form of harassment, pleading or defamation of character resulting in the refusal to offer services will be escalated to criminal charges being made against the individual who is responsible for the harassment.
ATTUNEMENT RECORDS AND STUDENT FILES
Due to the number of students who are being attuned by the Academy, It is the student's responsibility to keep track of the attunements that they have purchased and the dates that the attunements were received. I will keep track of items for a limited time but as soon as the attunements have been given, this information will be deleted as part of data protection. If you have lost your information, please re-log into your account where you will be able to view all of the items you have purchased. The certificates that you will have received will also be sent and must be saved by you {the student}
TAROT READING DISCLAIMER
It is a legal requirement that I include a disclaimer with regard to Tarot Readings.
In accordance with the law in several countries, we must point out that all tarot readings given here are for entertainment purposes only, and no guarantee can be given as to the accuracy of a reading. The user is responsible for his/her own life choices and decisions. We are not qualified to give legal, financial, medical or any other advice, and we do not give advice. If you require advice of any kind you should seek a suitable licensed professional. By using this service you confirm that you are over 18 and that you understand and agree with these terms. If you are under 18 and/or you do not agree with these terms then you are not permitted to use this website. I do not collect any personal data on this site. This service is for over 18s only. Both I and the Academy of LivingReiki Therapies also hold the right to refuse to perform a reading if we feel that it will not be in your best interest or if the messages that are given may cause you to experience negative reactions to the messages which on occasions can cause sudden shifts in awareness and a need for life changes.
Please also be aware that we set a cookie each time a reading is given; we do not store any personal details.
HEALING SERVICES AND REFUNDS
You can claim a full refund up to 24 hours after payment has been made. If you have booked your healing within this time frame, a 50% refund will be given. After 24 hours, no refund is offered. If your heading sessions begin straight away, refunds are not offered. When choosing the 1 year of healing service, you can claim a full refund up to 7 days after the payment has been made but there will be a deduction of £150 to cover the costs of 7 days of healing being given. If several weeks have passed since your first healing, no refunds are given so please make sure this service is the right one for you.
IS THE ACADEMY OF LIVINGREIKI THERAPIES ACCREDITED
At the Academy, we do not believe that being accredited by a company makes us any better than someone who is not accredited. Therefore you will never see links, badges or logos listed on the website. The need for recognition comes from the human ego which is something that I have freed myself from. The only company that I have been registered with to show that the teachings that I offer are genuine is the World Metaphysical Association. I have been a member of this accreditation provider for over a decade and am honoured that they allowed both myself and the Academy to join.
