Reiki Master/Teacher or Grand Master

I was having a discussion about people that call themselves Grand Masters with a student of mine. She had sent me this.

She said a friend sent it to her so not sure where this came from.

Remember this is just a Perspective of one person.

In some linage s A Reiki Master who has been successfully teaching Reiki First and Second Degree for about three years can qualify to be trained as a Reiki Master/Teacher. This means he/she can train people to Third Degree and train other Reiki Masters.
Other linage like mine have Reiki Level One ~ "Awakening To Reiki"
Reiki Level Two ~ " Integrating Reiki"ART ~ Advanced Reiki Training Master/Teacher.

Since the death of Mrs. Takata, there is no one Grand Master. Anyone who is trained in the complete system of Reiki and are a head of a group you may be called a Grand Master of Reiki, not the Grand Master of Reiki. But its just a title of a head of a group. If your not a head of a group then Reiki practitioners don't recognize you as a Grand master. In some associations the title Grand Master is reserved for the President or Figurehead of the association and any other Master who knows the complete system calls themselves a Reiki Master/Teacher. The Reiki Network does not recognize any one as the Grand Master and allows its members, who know the whole system, to call themselves Reiki Master Teacher or Reiki Grand Master. Recently, the Network has been encouraging members to use the standard title of Master/Teacher. According to the Reiki Network.

It should be emphasized that the system used by the Reiki Network is the system that its members have found works best for them and their students. We do not claim that it is the only system and will always be open to improvement and counsel as the knowledge about Reiki and its inner workings unfolds.
