| Becoming a Reiki Master allows you to teach
Reiki to other people and attune them to this wonderful energy.
In The Reiki Network, we believe that Reiki has such a significant
potential to help people, in their lives, that we want Reiki
Masters to be as effective as possible at passing on this
gift. Furthermore, training to become a Reiki Master offers
an opportunity for a profound personal growth in the trainee.
For these reasons, The Reiki Network places an emphasis on
the training of new Reiki Masters. If you feel you are interested
in becoming a Reiki Master, read on ... |

Find the decision |
| If you are new to Reiki, you should learn the
first two levels, preferably with a gap of at least 4 to 6
months between them, and gain as much experience as possible
in using Reiki on yourself and others. Only then will you
be ready to make a decision about becoming a Reiki Master.
|
For more information, see
The Levels of Reiki |
| |
| In The Reiki Network, anyone interested in
becoming a Reiki Master is interviewed, to ensure that they
have taken the decision with due consideration. |
| |
| The Third Level (Master Level) is only taught
by the most experienced Reiki Masters in The Reiki Network,
known as Reiki Master Teachers. Due to the depth and intensity
of the process of becoming a Reiki Master, it is essential
that you find a Reiki Master Teacher with whom you have a
good rapport. |

| |
| If your Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 training was with
a Reiki Master who is not in The Reiki Network, it is required that you participate on seminars given by a Reiki
Network member. This is to ensure that your understanding
of these levels of Reiki is compatible with what is taught
by the Network. |
| |
The Reiki Network divides the Third Level into
three stages, which are called
Reiki 3A, Reiki Master
and Reiki Master Teacher. |
| |
How long it takes and what it cost |
| To undertake Reiki Master training requires
a significant commitment of time, money and effort. So, you
should feel sure that you are ready, before embarking on this
journey. |
| |
| The training period lasts for at least
one year, longer if necessary. Apart from the practical
aspect of learning to teach Reiki, the time allows for dramatic
changes to occur in your energy and awareness. This helps
to ensure that you will be ready to give effective, permanent
initiations in seminars immediately after graduating. |
| The minimum cost is based
on the value of US$10,000 in the year 2000, increasing with
the local cost of living since then. (The fee for Reiki 3A
is usually included in this amount.) |
For the current price of training in your
country, see
Prices of Reiki Network Seminars and Training |
| |
| Included is the fee for Membership
within The Reiki Network for a duration of two years from
starting the training, which means to have access to the international
and regional meetings, to the secured Member Area with comprehensive
material about all aspects of teaching and being Reiki Master. |
| |
| At the beginning of the Reiki Master training,
you will receive a Reiki Network Manual, which includes comprehensive
information about teaching Reiki. |
| As a student, you will be required to satisfy
the Reiki Master Teacher that you can teach seminars in first
and second level Reiki, to a standard that would be commensurate
with the general standard found in The Reiki Network. |
| The Reiki Network feels that is it not sufficient
to simply train a new Reiki Master to be able to initiate
people to Reiki. An equally important aspect of the role of
a Reiki Master is to be able to impart a good understanding
and appreciation of Reiki. We therefore require that the student
proves, to the Reiki Master Teacher conducting the training,
an ability to convey such knowledge. |
| During the course of training, you will
be asked to complete at least eight assignments, which are
described in the training Manual and designed to equip you
to teach Reiki. The assignments require you to present lectures
covering all the material taught in the first and second levels
of Reiki. The lectures can be presented in any oral form which
is acceptable to the Reiki Master Teacher: this might be orally
directly to the Master Teacher, recorded in an audio format,
or video recordings. |
| Your Reiki Master Teacher will give you constructive
feedback on each assignment, designed to develop and enhance
your skills. You might also be required to repeat some of
the assignments, until your Master Teacher is satisfied that
you have reached the standard required by The Reiki Network. |
| |
| However, there is a less tangible aspect to
the training, which concerns your own personal growth. Most
trainees experience dramatic shifts in their own consciousness
and understanding as the process unfolds. Personal difficulties
and issues tend to come up, as the powerful master level techniques
become available to tackle them. All this is a core part of
what it means to become a Reiki Master, The Reiki Network
way. |
| |
The Reiki Master Teacher Stage |
| After two years or more of teaching Reiki 1
and Reiki 2 courses, inspiring students to continue to the
Third Level, the Reiki Master may be ready to become a Reiki
Master Teacher. The transition to Reiki Master Teacher is at the discretion of his/her Master Teacher; there are clear guidelines on what requirements have to be met. |
| As a Reiki Master Teacher, you are ready to
train other people in all stages of the Third Level. |
| Although the Reiki training reaches its conclusion
with the graduation to Reiki Master Teacher, this is by no
means the end of the journey with Reiki. With master level
techniques at your disposal, the limitless gift of Reiki can
be explored to the full. |
