The 18 qualities of a Reiki Master
When imposing your hands with love, you're transmitting Reiki. Love is the healing energy. However, a Reiki Master can help you with an introduction to consciously channel that energy. Then preparing your physical and etheric body into a canal energy inherited from the Master and Usui descendants.
1: A Master never wants, never ask to fulfill a promise, nor has authority because has knowledge or range.
2: A Master gives no instructions but all the information he knows, the real quality is to give the information (knowledge) that lets each person according reach level and to advance understanding on their own.
3: A Master no longer cares about anything or anyone but to deal in and for the people.
4: A Master never sees flaws, does not criticize or envy, he does not have evil thoughts towards anyone or himself.
5: A Master, never see past a person or is compounded by his karma when someone asks advice, assistance or knowledge, he gives it because the teacher does not speculate, or intellectualize conditions, simply sees two possibilities in that person. He is always willing to give and receive, because it is part of his life and his evolution.
6: A Master never sees anyone defects in life, because he knows that these are tools of work and development.
7: A Master never stays. Appears, disappears and just leaves knowledge.
8: A Master is the most perfect monk that exists, since he is not subject to the level that others give, is not qualified or for glory, nor wealth nor the glorification or contempt. He knows he is a servant of God and everything that happens in his life goes around the hands of God.
9: A Master always knows he is working only if I have many friends, helpers, or subordinates. The teacher has a plan for expansion and use for the good of expansion and of all beings and all people who want to help the expansion or his work. Because if you fail but have friends, assistants or subordinates, will expansion plan stop? NO! It continues to work alone.
10: The Master is always protected by the Angels, Beings of Light, teachers and promoted the Supreme Personality of God. For the teacher in the land known to be a link that use them.
11: A Master has no partners
12: A Master sees everyone in the path of perfection. He knows that everyone follows the path to God (Deity), and everyone knows that drag their anchors that sometimes left him unable to evolve, sometimes the defects are ego, the pride, the pretension, the imperfections, to be little by bit, year after year, life after life be purified. When a person does not known, continues to live in ignorance. But sometimes those flaws are your best allies when the same person knows what he has, then can work and purify faster.
13: A Master is capable of controlling the mind, stomach and genitals. If the mind, stomach and genitals are controlling him, he is no longer master of himself. If one is, not the master of himself, cannot be a teacher to anyone.
14: A Master sees God in everyone, because he knows that everything is essentially the same GOD. Because the universe is God and God is universal. He knows that although small, we are all part of GOD. So the teacher knows that God teaches him through and serve our neighbor, to love and respect, love and serve God. In the same way that a parent does not tolerate anyone who disdain or abuse their children.
15: A Master never asks for serving because, because he serves and serves God.
16: A Master never rejects given terms. Because when someone offers him something, he does with pleasure and satisfaction, and that is what this person makes him feel good and at the same time move up. If the teacher rejects, prevents the person moving, standing and sitting well. The Master does not weigh what is offered or how much is given, since it is used for the well-being of others.
17: Sometimes a Master seems like an ordinary person, but mentally and spiritually, everything is connected with the Supreme Being. He eats like someone else but can eat the natural foods that are offered to the Supreme Being, and when the teacher is in service to the world and God, with his mere presence food is purified. A person can have wealth, but riches are for only himself. A Master may have wealth but the wealth are his and therefore used for the good of others and expansion. Wealth in a chest, it can rot. The spiritual riches enrich and elevate. Because the Master makes everything in pursuit of the expansion and assist in connection with God.
18: A Master never feels better than anyone. It is only a servant, and he knows it.
Once, there was a saint who had boasted of giving much knowledge to be very devout, and devotion to God. So one day God appeared to him and he continued proclaiming being devoted and constantly served. God told him: Do you really want to serve me? Then he said: "I want to see as far as your control." He took a bucket of water, filled it and put it on his head and then asked him to go back to the city without spilling a drop.
The saint found this request difficult and easy at the same time. So he started walking through the city and concentrate on not spilling a drop. Along the way, he found children who made him trouble and he continued to concentrate in his bucket of water. He went through a long avenue of beautiful women at parties dancing in front of him trying to captivate and distract him. He concentrated on his bucket without dropping a single drop of water. He found people into need, but he concentrated on his bucket not responded. And throughout the afternoon he carried the bucket over his head without spilling a single drop of water.
When God was again in front of him, he was proud of not having spilled a single drop of water; he told God if he was satisfied with his service. Then God said, "you brought the bucket over your head for several hours and really have not spilled a single drop. But how many times have remembered me? On the way you found people in need, I am loved and served when you help people, but you only concentrated in your cube. I have not been in your mind or your heart while carrying the bucket on your head, Where is the feat of being a saint or a teacher then?
