In short, a reiki master is someone who has developed advanced skills in the practice and who is, therefore, best placed to explain them to others. Mikao Usui was the very first master. However, there is no single school or administrative system in the world that regulates who a master is and to what standard of teaching they have attained. In some cases, masters may have simply attended a short course to gain their qualification. If you are interested in learning more about the art from a master, then it is always wise to ask them about their qualification and how it was obtained, so you can feel a sense of confidence and comfortable in their abilities as a teacher and as a healer.
