I feel that the title Reiki Master is very appropriate and very necessary for many people.

a very important thing we've been missing in this discussion that reiki mastership is not just a status of 'mastering' an ability, it is the endowment of a super power to confer reiki ability to somebody....

the thing is, that being a reiki master, it is not necessary that a person would be academically, experience-wise, or wisdom-wise 'better' than, for example, someone who is reiki II... but it is a gold standard to say that a reiki master can 'do' something which a reiki-II cannot... i.e., initiation...


i think, if we drop the word 'master' from our name, we are not 'acknowledging' a supreme ability which we possess but somehow reluctant to show our pride for it...


a reiki master is a jewel, a big feather in your hat, just celebrate it

Well, well, look who crawled out from inside the straw of the tatami mat!

Hi Salman, good to see you have returned.

:-)

Thanks Bridget and Buck, and all my friends here, including my Master Wayne

i've been feeling bad of myself for not being able to squeeze time for RLL for which i owe tons really.... i was away from FB and Messengers too... actually a whole new division was added to my job responsibilities at work some months ago, and it is draining my brains out so far

what a sweet welcome back by my colleagues and friends here... heartiest thanks and love !!


take care

The forum will always be here for you. As will us all. And me personally. I'm always around for you. As i know you are for me bro.

I've never been happy with the connotations of the word 'Master'

Sat round a pub table a few weeks ago,we were talking about reiki and one chap said are you a Reiki Master? ( like it was the grandest thing one could be) I said yes i am.... but it's not like you think, the word Master ( in this sense) simply denotes a level of attainment in training, ( explaining there were 3 degrees, in my case 4)I went on to explain it does not reflect the level of ability and experience that the word 'Master' conjures up. I said anyone can become a Reiki Master...without even having that much expereience as a practitioner....I burst his bubble, but I try and keep things real! ahahahah
