The Teacher/Student Role FACT Reiki is self-empowering Students of Reiki learn the various practices so that they can go away and work on themselves. The concept is that the more work students do on themselves using these practices the more in touch they become with their true nature. In this manner the teacher (another word for Reiki Master) guides students rather than controls them. Humans naturally know what is right or wrong for them but can lose sight of this in the flurry of modern living. By sensing their connection with the flow of life they become empowered and the teacher has done nothing except show them the way – it is the student that must take it and practice it. A true sense of empowerment is when you do not need to keep asking or looking for a teacher’s approval. It is when you feel confident in the knowledge that what you are doing is truthful for you (not for someone else). MYTH Reiki is very complicated If students are told that something is Very Difficult and that only the teacher knows the reasons why - then students must question the validity of the teachings. Reiki is not a practice of secrets and rules. Students are not asked to do something because the teacher says they must. It does not give dietary advice or offer advice on what to wear. It is not channeling anothers words. It is not diagnostic. A teacher of Reiki does not give or take away anything. No-one empowers you. There must be no fear of the teacher or of what the teacher may think of your experiences. Negating or judging the experiences of others is not the sign of a true teacher of Reiki.
