What is a Reiki Master? 
In Reiki, Master means  teacher. A Master has taken the responsibility to help others                                             on their path. A Reiki  Master has chosen to walk the path of healing and has made                                             a commitment to show others  how to heal themselves and others by showing them the                                             way. It is not a designation  to be used for ego inflation. A Reiki Master is one                                             who is able to stay in his  or her own energy and not interfere with the path of                                             another being.
It is not an absolute requirement to teach after taking the Master/Teacher Level. Although this is fundamentally the objective for this level, however, it is not necessary that you must teach. Very often students only want to increase their knowledge base or to enhance their healing abilities.
Whatever your motives are for wishing to advance to the Reiki Master/Teacher Level, know that they are respected and I am sure will certainly be the right choice for you.
To be a Reiki Master/Teacher requires more than just receiving a certificate - it requires you to remain dedicated to your values and principles. Your knowledge, experience, understanding and compassion are assets unique to you and thus very valuable. Showing wisdom and compassion to every living thing is the very first step in becoming a great healer and teacher. To be an effective teacher you must realize that teaching doesn't stop once the workshop is over - you should be willing to remain available to your students if they require additional assistance or guidance.

"Nature provides with plenty, but never to waste" Takata                                                 sensei
The main focus for a Reiki  Master is about seriously and consciously committing                                             yourself to living a  balanced lifestyle and also maintaining spiritual discipline.                                             A Reiki Master always  respects the earth and nature and is sensitive to beauty in                                             all forms. A Master  maintains a moderation in all their activities. The Reiki Level                                             3 attunement opens your  heart and you begin to feel unconditional love and compassion                                             for all things. Being a  Master is all about serving others with love, of course,                                             with permission!

Dear new Masters, after the  successful completion of the Reiki Master/Teacher Level                                         it must seem impossible to go  about changing, healing or teaching masses of people                                         all at once, but remember, as  with everything, its one step at a time. Each time                                         you are able to make a positive  difference in just one person's life by sincerely                                         sharing your accumulated  knowledge and wisdom, then as a Reiki Master/Teacher, you                                         are performing a miraculous  service. Reiki is a marvelous benefit you can offer                                         to humanity, the planet and to  the universe! Please do send healing to the Earth                                         everyday so that it becomes  forever peaceful and beautiful!                                         
"To  truly become more effective Reiki healers, we should                                             not focus on developing our  breathing, we should focus on developing our compassion"                                             - Kenji Hamamoto.
