Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Namaste Stephanie, It is not uncommon to 'outgrow' our teachers after a certain period of time. Sometimes it is due to the fact that the student has progressed more than the teacher could teach, but the teacher would not acknowledge it, nor would release the student easily. And sometimes the student (or both student and teacher) do not realize this is the case. Other reasons could be the teacher has changed in some parts of the personality that may affect on the student for unknown reasons. Whatever it is, its important that you have now 'recognized' that you feel you can no longer learn nor benefit from her teachings. This is a good sign post that you need to move on. You are truly very nice in considering her feelings and not wanting to hurt her. With the Christmas and New Year season coming up, you can make an excuse about needing time off to spend with your famiy with whom you had not had 'quality' time with for ages. Do not commit to a date to return to classes. Just say you 'might' tell her or consult with her later. As time goes, she will have other, or new students on her hands and get busy so she won't care whether you would return or not. The time away from your Reiki teacher will also give you a rest from her and from the classes. During this period, you can do some pondering to see if its the right thing to do. If it is, simply not return to class and close this chapter of your life. If she is a good, supportive and understanding person, she will fully understand how you feel and won't give you any guilt trips. But if she is displeased with you, then you will certainly be much better off without her.
