The Reiki Master Level is the teacher's level, and masters are able to walk away and attune new reiki practitioners if they feel ready. Becoming a reiki master represents a deep commitment to the reiki practice, and some feel that significant time should pass between achieving the Second Degree status and Master Level. Because the Master Level is taught in a wide range of methods, you should meditate on which path feels right for you and spend time and consideration in selecting a master.
