To become a master of anything takes time, dedication and practice. The title of Master implies that we have become expert at using something and that will only come about through practice and personal investment.The traditional route to the level of reiki master is to first of all take the reiki one course and practice at that level until you know that you know all there is to know at that level and can demonstrate your ability to yourself and others.
This would include sessions of reiki self healing and a deepening of ones personal knowledge of the symbols, what they mean and how to use them.You would then progress to the Reiki Two course and approach it in the same way. And then finally you would take the Reiki Master Course.At that point you will be qualified to teach reiki to others.But on the way you will have discovered an ability within yourself, which we all have in a latent form, to heal both yourself and others.Some claim that a Reiki Master can be made in 48 hours and yes one could take the master attunement in that time period, but you will miss out on all of the vital information and practice which is in the reiki one and two courses the very foundations of Reiki.
No, you should only do Master Level if you have a serious desire to learn skills that can change both the world - and YOU!Before I go onto some of these reasons, I'd like to add that learning to attune others to Reiki doesn't necessarily mean doing so in a professional environment.One of the most important things you can do with Reiki is attune your friends and family.Of these, you might pay particular attention to your children (or even nieces, nephews and the like), because just imagine how big an impact Reiki might make to their lives if they learnt it young, if it were second nature to heal with it, if, by the time they are your age, they had already been practising with it for 15, 20, 30 or more years!Reiki ought to be taught in schools; but until it is, you need to fill the gap - a gap made bigger by the age restrictions many Reiki associations place on course participants.Learn to Better Heal Yourself and Others,A lot of Master Level courses are divided up into two parts: A and B. Part A teachesskills to enhance personal practice, part B the teaching components.Whether the course is divided or not (I, personally, teach both parts together), Master Level should supply you with skills you can practise and develop for years to come. Skills that will profoundly shift the way you experience Reiki.
It was rare to notice someone who was totally in the moment and enjoying that moment and what it had to offer.By contrast what did the small children want... to explore, have fun, watch, experience and learn. They were totally in the moment and having the full experience of that moment. There was a moment of enlightenment when in the middle of the hot sunshine, the clouds opened and a tropical rain storm began.everyone ran for cover. It was the conditioned response.
Esoteric Mantras. Not all Master Level courses teach these and, technically, they are not part of the classical system. Carefully chosen, however, these additional symbols can greatly enhance your ability to connect and amplify certain strands of Reiki energy. This can help both your ability to heal yourself and others as well as energetically clear spaces with less than perfect energy.Whole Body Reiki. A good Master Level course should teach you to go beyond what I term 'cheirocentric' Reiki (i. e. Reiki that exclusively uses the hands to heal). It should teach you to do Reiki with not just other parts of your body, but your entire body and energy field itself!
As a Master I believe that it is important to continue to learn and be a student of life, and to remain humble. After all the amazing gift of Universal energy is given to us and that is such an honour and a privilege to receive Reiki!Treasure the gift and Just for today... keep Reiki in every moment of your life!I am often asked by my students about the role of a Reiki Master.I decided to write this simple article to share my experiences with others... I hope you gain wisdom as a result.
"What is a Reiki Master and what does it mean?"The most important thing to remember is that Reiki is a way of living. Mastering Reiki simply means that you are using it to understand yourself more and how you interact with life.It is not a 'Title'; it is simply a way of living.Gandhi beautifully conveyed this message when he said, "My life is My Message".As a Reiki Master your life speaks louder than your lips! Remember this.The 5 principles become a way of life, as well as practicing Reiki on yourself and on others."I only want to teach Reiki - I do not want to take clients"You can only give to others what you have inside.If you decide to teach without actually experiencing Reiki and taking clients - then it simply means you are repeating another's teachings / awareness / truth, without it being your own truth.
When your students ask particular questions in class about sickness and how to deal with clients, your awareness will be theory based only.Remember back to when you were learning to drive... the theory and the practical go hand in hand.... just having the theory does not mean you know how to drive. Also having driven an automatic car, the next one that comes along may be a manual one, a 4 wheel drive or even a large truck.... Each will bring their own learning's!
It's hard to be sold on a bigger and better deal when we're already living the BIG DEAL.If we love where we are at present, why move?Get the Complete Reiki Picture,The classical Japanese Reiki system is highly structured.That is, each piece builds on the one before it.The five main building blocks of the system are:The Reiki attunements,Reiki meditations,Reiki precepts,Hands-on healing,Mantras and symbols,There is only one way to see how all of these pieces fit together, and that is to do Master Level. Until then, you are, to a certain extent, living in the 'Reiki dark'. This, admittedly, is a fine place to be; but understanding the 'whole' is illuminating.
You also learn that you do not know the answers to all of people's questions / issues / medical conditions... and learn that this is OK. The need to be perfect / always right moves away, and once this happens you move to a new level of awareness and healing ability.So take a step forward on your journey to Mastery, use Reiki on yourself and others, and keep the principles of Reiki in mind at all times.If you are ever in a situation where you are not sure what to do... simply calm yourself down and ask "What would a Master do in this situation..." The answer will come.
