Independent Reiki Master Independent Reiki Master is a term used to describe people who are Reiki Masters that are not aligned with a particular branch of Reiki. They might use an eclectic approach drawing on techniques from many schools. The vast majority of Reiki Masters in the West are Independent Reiki Masters. Some of them are aware of the origins of what they teach while others are not.
Initiation This word is often used to describe the Japanese reiju and/or the Western attunement process.
Intent Reiki is an intent driven system. Intent is the key to working with Reiki in healing and attunements. Intent ensures the outcome. The practitioner does not need to work hard to make Reiki work. The intent is there once the thought to place the hands on the body takes place. It is this intent which sparks the movement of energy. Ki, or energy, follows the mind. As far as Reiki is concerned, if the practitioner intends to use Reiki in the manner one was taught, then that is what will happen. If a practitioner intends to treat a client with Reiki then that person will receive a Reiki treatment.
