Reiki III-B—Master Teacher

“Teachers are those who use themselves as bridges, over which they invite their students to cross; then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.”

~ Nikos Kazantzakis

What is a Reiki Master Teacher?

Mechthild of Magdebury (1210-1297) wrote, “A fish cannot drown in water, a bird does not fall in air. In the fire of creation, gold doesn’t varnish: The fire brightens. Each creature God made must live in its own true nature; how could I resist my nature; that lives for oneness with God?” Years after this was written, Usui was striving to “live for oneness with God,” when he discovered Reiki. Because of his devotion to searching for compassionate ways to serve humanity, we have Reiki to heal others, the world and ourselves.

Like myself, and countless other souls, you may have been touched profoundly by Reiki. Likewise, you may feel a deep commitment to the service of healing and teaching, and feel compelled to become a compassionate change agent in the world by learning Shinpiden. Shinpiden is the Japanese word for “mystery teachings.” The Shinpiden or Master Teacher Level of Reiki supports us in the evolutionary process we are in; it is a time of great change, a time of rebuilding and recreating our lives, our planet and ourselves. Usui’s great love in facilitating this change is remarkable! Reiki is here to awaken and assist us in growing, expanding and evolving into our true nature as multidimensional beings of Divine Love, Wisdom and Power.

A Reiki Master Teacher has obtained the highest level of training provided, usually after thorough knowledge of giving Reiki to oneself and others to facilitate healing. The Master Teacher Level of Reiki allows the Reiki practitioner to initiate (attune) others into Reiki including from Reiki level I to Master Teacher. Initiating others to Reiki is a sacred honor, a powerful experience, and a great responsibility. Deciding to become a Master Teacher is for the true and dedicated seekers of Divine Love, Wisdom and Power. This path is one of reawakening, remembering and rediscovering who and what you really are as a person that lives for oneness with God.

This training will support you entering into your soul’s purpose by combining lecture, discussion, attunements, meditations and experiential practice in a well organized, but relaxed program. A detailed class manual is included, providing thorough instructions for giving all of the Usui Reiki attunements. Upon successful completion your will receive Mater Teacher certification permitting you to teach and initiate others into Usui Reiki Ryôhô from the Taproot Healing Institute.
