Reiki Master Level

As per the traditions, the Second Degree of Reiki is sufficient for the practitioner who doesn't want to become a Reiki Master. The Third degree or Level 3 is essentially meant for practitioners who aspire to be Masters and teach Reiki. Many a times, it has been observed that after taking second degree and spending time, efforts and money, Reiki Masters find it that they are not apposite to teach Reiki. Studies have revealed that just 30% of Reiki Masters are actually teaching Reiki.

In fact, most of the learners wish for learning each and every aspect of Reiki, but show slight interest in teaching. For such reasons, Reiki Masters proposed the requirement of a transitional stage between the Second Degree and the Masters Level. The workshop for third degree takes about three days to complete. During this program, the Second degree holder is taught complex theories and techniques. He also receives a traditional Master's initiation, which has a remarkable influence over his personal growth and consciousness.

He is taught the first four initiations or attunements of Reiki. It makes possible for the learner to experience the ecstasy of being able to attune someone to higher levels of consciousness. He/ she can also experience Reiki in his/her own hands. Reiki energy becomes permanent, once all the four attunements are completed. For a few weeks, the practitioner can feel the energy and can use it for treatments. He is also introduced to other applications and knowledge, which can be utilized for personal growth and to help learners on other levels.

The Third degree apprentice, once in tune with the higher levels of Reiki, can use them throughout his life. Subsequently, the person can decide whether he wants to become Master or not. For becoming Master, the person should have a strong desire to teach Reiki. He must have great theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience of Reiki. During Master's training, the apprentice is initiated to the Master symbol and from then onwards, he can attune students into the great healing system.
