Guest guest Posted October 23, 2000 Report Share Posted October 23, 2000 Thank you to All for answering my question. I have another one. Is it possible to become a Master/Teacher within a year? I want to take a Reiki II. I was talking to the teacher, who told me that she became a Master within one year from her first Reiki I attunements. Now she is teaching Reiki for few years. I need your expert advice. Love & Light Michael Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did all three of my attunements within a year but would suggest that each student take an honest look at where they are in their own healing to determine at what intervals to progress to the next level. I felt comfortable doing mine at the shorter intervals because I had and continue to do lots of self-healing as well as thirty plus years of doing healing work on others in different modalities. For me Reiki was another way for me to relate to myself and others on my healing pathway. If you have not been doing healing work or have a lot of self issues that you have not addressed, you might find that you want to allow more time between attunements to settle into the energy and practice what you have learned.

Check your intention and see what you think being a Master Teacher will give you that you do not have now. I think Sandy was right on about doing your own self healing work or even assisted healing work before jumping into Reiki as a life commitment. Be careful what you pray for is one of the slogans which come to mind. What can happen in the process of becoming a Level three practitioner is part of the process. I liken the process to marriage. The wedding(attunement) is not the end result it is the first step in a long process (the marriage.) Consider for your self if you are willing to commit your life to the principles of Reiki and work on making it successful every day from here on out. I have attuned many persons and taking a year to complete the process is not out of the question. It can successfully be done. Just sit quietly and listen to your inner guide and you will know when it is rigfht for you to move to the next stage of your learning. Much Love to you on your path. C Be love and laugh!!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Hi Michael: The process of moving from " novice " to " expert " in Reiki is a lifetime experience. I don't think we ever " master " Reiki, so the term is fairly relative, and I think it is more useful to use " sensei " or " teacher " for the most part. Yes, you can obtain the Attunements and become a Master Teacher in a fairly short span of time. For some people, especially if they already have experience with energy work and teaching, it can be a short step to progress in this way. For new people, I encourage them to work with the energy awhile themselves, though, find their way with it, gain experience. This is not only useful for them, but will be for their future students if they plan to teach. I myself would prefer to have a teacher who has some experience under their belt because I might be asking for their guidance later. Each level of Reiki has its own special growth and challenges, and I think it is good to savor that and go with the flow of it. I got my Master Attunement when I was not ready to teach yet; I sat with it for several years before I was, but they were profitable years of research, experimentation, questions and feedback as I explored Reiki and the Reiki community in more depth and developed an internal feeling of " ownership " for the responsibility of being a teacher of Reiki. Then one day someone approached me, asking if I would Attune them... and I feel that it was the Universe's way of saying that when the teacher is ready the students will appear. So I did my first class. I say this because on my own journey I never approached it from the standpoint of feeling that being a Reiki Master was my objective or goal; I simply wanted to grow as much as possible with the Reiki and eventually be able to share what I had with others. It is the free choice of anyone to progress at the pace they are comfortable with, and since I have seen people who were living in their ego knocked flat by their own hubris when they tried to move faster than they were ready for, I think there is a certain wisdom in knowing yourself and accepting your limitations, learning to be the best you can be where you are, and developing patience. It will happen when it is supposed to happen, not always because of, but sometimes in spite of you, if that is what you are meant to do!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Again thank you for all your help. I guess what really worries me is following. If the teacher who became a teacher within one year from taking her Reiki I will be able to properly attune me. Love & Light. Michael Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Michael: I don't imagine that there is any difference in the Attunement either way, only in the classroom experience and the degree to which the teacher can support the student's questions or mentor them afterwards. Some people will have an Attunement with one person and get their " education " elsewhere. Some people take their classes with very experienced people who are not readily available (say at a weekend workshop) and still end up seeking others to support their questions. And some choose a person who will be, if not nearby, at least accessible for followup. That part of it is up to you; but the Attunement should be relatively the same no matter what.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Dear Michael; I think that Reiki will choose the right teacher for you at the right time. Rick and I took our first level class just a few days ago. The master was quite young-looking and seemed a bit uncomfortable in the role of teacher for the first few minutes. There were a few awkward moments while we were getting to know each other. However, we bonded quickly, had a wonderful time learning and sharing together, and the attunement was simply wonderful. It was one of the most perfect days we've ever experienced. I'm sure that it all happened exactly the way that it was meant to. I would suggest that you try to stop worrying and just let it all happen naturally. It will unfold the way it should. Trust your own instincts and trust Reiki. ....and enjoy the experiences!!
