Reiki the art of healing is an ancient one Reiki comes from the Japanese word that is loosely translated as "mysterious atmosphere; spiritual power".There are different levels of reiki practitioners that one can attain.
Reiki student is the first level one is initiated into on the road to learning Reiki. Once a student has acquired the necessary knowledge of Reiki, and have received the attunement from a teacher to heal both themselves and others, they are entitled to use the practitioner title.
At the last level of this spiritual healing journey is the Reiki master level. Only the practitioners who have a deep understanding of this amazing healing method can use the title of a Reiki Master. A reiki master is one who has received one of the reiki symbols, and is certified to teach students and attune the students through the 3 levels.
Become a Reiki Master
Almost everywhere in the world Reiki is known to have 3 levels or degrees.
In the first level, the reiki student is given basic instructions and are taught how to perform healing on both himself and others. In this level 4 attunements are performed by the teacher on the student.
On the second stage, the practitioner is taught to use the powerful Reiki symbols which allow him to perform distant reiki healing and other techniques. One more attunement is performed by the teacher and the student is able to perform healing from a distance on others. In this level the student graduates to become a practitioner.
In the 3rd stage, the practitioner becomes entitled to use the Reiki Master title and learns to use a secret master level symbol for powerful healing and teaching. The newly initiated Reiki Master is not only able to heal directly and over great distances, he is able to teach and certify other reiki students as well.
