After these two levels of training and a reasonable period of practice
of the forms and principles of The Usui System of Reiki Healing, it is possible
that a person may feel called to the knowledge that the practice and teaching
of this system is to be his/her life work. This person then seeks a mentor
who is an experienced Master in The Usui System of Reiki Healing in order
to clarify his/her vision and determine an appropriate course of action.
If the person is accepted by the Master as a master-candidate, s/he acknowledges
the Master as his/her mentor and makes a substantial commitment of time
and money to this training. This training takes a minimum of one year beyond
Level II training, and can often take several years, as the person learns
the subtleties of the forms, disciplines, principles, and precepts of The
Usui System of Reiki Healing, demonstrates expertise with them, and displays
progress in the mastery of his/her own life. The determination of the time
period rests with the wisdom of the Master mentor.
It is the task of the Master mentor to oversee the professional and personal
preparation of the master-candidate and to play an important role in refining
the mastery of the candidate. The mentor shares knowledge and experiences,
offers observations and reflections, demonstrates the teaching of The Usui
System of Reiki Healing, recommends adjunct study or experience when necessary,
and teaches the candidate the forms and disciplines that the candidate will
need to teach and initiate future students. The candidate participates in
all aspects of training recommended by the Master mentor, spends time in
contemplation of what is being taught, gives and receives treatments, organizes
classes for the mentor, travels to attend classes taught by the mentor,
and engages in daily practice of the disciplines of The Usui System of Reiki
Healing. At the appropriate time, the Master mentor initiates the candidate
as a Master in The Usui System of Reiki Healing and supports the new Master
as s/he begins his/her teaching journey.
