The practice of Reiki is taught through various schools, Reiki institutions and covers the various branches of Reiki. Irrespective of the branch the instruction of Reiki is taught in a degree system that is, an individual has to cross different levels or degrees to achieve the status of a Reiki Teacher or Reiki Master. Usui Reiki is taught in three levels with an additional level for becoming Masters or teachers of this craft. A Reiki Master is a person who has undertaken the practice of Reiki as a lifelong commitment and is thoroughly ingrained in the thoughts, ideals and values of the system. Only a person completing the Master Degree or Level is qualified to teach Reiki to others, s/he receives a special Master Attunement and is capable of performing Reiki Attunements for Levels 1, 2 and 3. Gaining mastery is not merely completing a level or obtaining a degree it involves constant evolution on the part of the Master and years of study and dedication to learning and practice alike. There is a great responsibility on a Master and every teacher will have a different method of teaching this art and it is often noticed that people may choose to apprentice under different Masters to gain a more complete understanding and grow under different methodologies and schools of thought.
The term Master comes from the Japanese word Sensei which means Master but more in the form of Teacher or doctor better defined as a Reiki Doctor or a Teacher of Reiki, though it is often said that in Japan a Teacher would not refer to himself as Sensei but rather prefer to use the word Shihan. A Shihan is a person with the knowledge to teach Reiki to others but it is difficult to give a measure of wisdom and expertise, it is something that differs from Teacher to Teacher and thus choosing the correct teacher is a very delicate task. Becoming a Reiki Master does not really require any educational qualifications but it is a must to be constantly practicing Reiki and be willing to devote a lot of time and energy apart from a genuine desire to teach Reiki to others. However it is important to remember that in this last phase most schools give out written notes unlike the previous levels in order to help a new Teacher on their journey and though it is up to the Teacher to decide to use it or not it is essential for the candidate to be able to learn and work with theoretical material and also for completing written assignments.
Lastly learning Reiki is a very personal experience. Some may require more time than others to fully absorb and be able to integrate and it is perfectly okay to do so. There are a lot many teachers or internet sites that will make unrealistic promises but it is up to the learner to question himself whether or not they are ready to take the vow. A Reiki Master is a person who is not in the noble vocation of teaching Reiki but also a person who is seeking enlightenment and is a person with a spiritual lifestyle with a special call to serve the community.
