You are now a super-power Reiki Master with amazing abilities, more than a mere mortal. You have your Reiki Master cape, your Reiki Master all-seeing eye, super-power intuition and phenomenal super power energy.

Really?

Is that what we think Reiki Mastery is all about? Is it a title that you earn by flipping a switch, paying by PayPal, going on a course for a couple of days and there you have it – you’re a MASTER.

Nothing more to do.

I don’t think that’s what Reiki Mastery is all about

It’s not an event, it’s a state of mind, it’s a form of commitment, it’s a journey.

It’s about how you behave and how you conduct yourself.

In Usui Sensei’s original system, Shinpiden level was a path to ‘satori’, a flash of insight that changes something in a fundamental way (something that comes through a long period of meditation, something that you work at by getting rid of your ‘baggage’).

The highest level of Reiki development was left open-ended, a lifelong journey, for you to progress as far as you could progress, through your own efforts.

In a hundred years that has morphed in some quarters into something that you can get in a leisurely afternoon surfing the Internet.

I prefer to use the term ‘Reiki teacher’ rather than ‘Reiki Master’ because the phrase ‘Reiki Teacher’ describes perfectly what most people at that level do, without all the added connotations of superhuman abilities.
