This program is the next step after the Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma and combines both Master Practitioner and Master Teacher training into a one-year Professional Reiki Master Teacher training. While this Reiki Master Teacher Program will allow anyone to pass the ability to channel Reiki on to others and to teach Reiki courses if one chooses, many students take this course for their own use or to use with family and friends. Those who have completed this course with their ability approved are called Reiki Masters or Reiki teachers.
It is designed to empower Reiki students to develop through personal growth, self-development and reflection. It offers the potential for periods of pause to enable self-reflection and consists of different in-person and online classes to facilitate the emotional and spiritual development of the student. It combines Japanese and western Reiki approaches, metaphysical principles and esoteric traditions to provide an integrated perspective on wellbeing, health and healing.
You will receive an authentic and individual Reiki Master attunement which will allow you to significantly increase your energy, receive four Reiki Master symbols and enhance your healing abilities. Self-treatments, healing attunements, treating others in person, and at a distance will all be noticeably improved. One can pass Reiki onto friends and family, and many take the Master training with just this in mind, however if you ever decide to formally teach, you will be able to do so.
Becoming a Reiki Master
Being a Reiki Master is of course more than just a training, it is the work of a lifetime, rather than just the attainment of a title. The title of being a Reiki Master is more indicative of the fact that the student has now made a commitment to bring Reiki into the world and that they are ready to try and integrate Reiki into more (or all) aspects of their life.
The joys of becoming a Reiki Master are many and students do not necessarily have to teach for the Master training to be useful. The additional healing energy, symbols, techniques, and knowledge will add value to your healing abilities.
The Professional Reiki Master Teacher Program is an international professional qualification which demonstrates that the student has followed a specific programme of study that is accredited by the Gendai Reiki Ho Healing Association in Japan.
All who want to become Reiki Masters learn not only the attunement techniques or Reiki usages. It is also necessary to understand Usui Sensei’s spirit as the founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho and the ultimate usage of Reiki-ho so that you can convey it in the right way.
You learn to perform the attunements and to instruct in the usage of Reiki-ho for the people who want to learn it.

Traditional Reiki Level III Shinpiden and Level IV Gokuikaiden (Master)
Gendai Reiki Ho Level III Shinpiden
The forth symbol, called the Usui Symbol or Master Symbol, is the supreme symbol of Reiki-ho and considered very sacred overseas.
When you reach this level, you will consider Reiki as the hado that guides you to spiritual awareness, and you will want to resonate with Reiki all the time to help you advance yourself through your daily life.
Reiki is not just a technique for you anymore. Instead, you reach the highest level of energy, and your self-cleansing and healing ability make remarkable progress.
Gendai Reiki Ho Level IV Gokuikaiden (Reiki Master)
Level IV is the last step in learning Reiki-ho and you take the integrated Attunement with all four symbols.
You learn how to teach correctly and spread Reiki-ho to many people. It is a training for Reiki instructors rather than extra steps for learners.
All who want to become Reiki Masters learn not only the attunement techniques or Reiki usages. It is also necessary to understand Usui Sensei’s spirit as the founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho and the ultimate usage of Reiki-ho so that you can convey it in the right way.
