Reiki Practitioner Levels.

Levels of Reiki Practitionership

Level	Ability	Description
I	Hands on	Introductory level. Gives access to the energy and direct hands on healing as shown in the paper on traditional hand positions. Requires 4 attunements.
II	Level I plus Healing at a distance	This level teaches three of the traditional four symbols used in Reiki. There is generally an increase in the amount of power. The practitioner can also do healing at a distance. Requires 2 attunements.
III (Master)	Level II plus the Master Symbol	Teaches the fourth symbol, the Master Symbol. There is generally, again, an increase in power. Requires 4 attunements.
Master Teacher	Level III plus the ability to train Reiki practitioners	Many teachers do not see this as a separate level from III, while some do require further training for Master Teacher. This level does not require further attunements nor further symbols. Instead it is posession of the confidence and knowledge to conduct a Reiki class. This generally comes from apprenticeship with an experienced Reiki teacher to see what it's like on the other side of the table.
