Reiki Confusion
So many people have asked me if they have to train to be a Reiki Master Teacher or is it enough just to be trained as a Master – my response is
When you have passed your driving test and can drive your car does that qualify you to teach others to drive and give them a pass? This is what you should expect
1st Degree Reiki : During this level you are given 4 Attunements. These Attunements will raise your vibratory level and empower you to bring healing into your life. You will not be given sight of the symbols used but they will be charged into your auric or energy field.
2nd Degree Reiki : This level teaches the three 1st Degree Reiki Symbols The Power Symbol, Mental, Emotional Healing Symbol and the Distant Healing Symbol and the student is given a 2nd Degree Attunement. Different schools have different time length requirements before level II can be taken (usually three months between level I and level II) however when the student is ready is more precise.
3rd Degree Reiki (Master Level): Third Level Reiki is the Master Level of Reiki . The two 2nd Degree symbols are taught. At Master level the new master can Attune students to 2nd Degree level as part of the healing process in cases of serious or terminal illness or injury but no further. This is not license to teach Reiki . Reiki can only be taught once the student has completed a teaching course.
Master Teacher
Master Teacher: The Usui Master Symbol is taught. The Usui Master Symbol completes the awareness of the other five symbols taught at Levels II and Master level. During teacher training Master Teachers are taught how to teach and Attune up to master level. This level is the empowerment level and it is the culmination of the entire training programme and is generally an ongoing relationship between the master teacher and his or her Master Teacher until the new teacher is ready to become independent.
