The title of the record already suggests that there is more than one opinion about whether and how long to wait between stages of learning Reiki.

Some teachers require a minimum of three months, requiring six months, requiring a certain amount of treatments, and more. Before the existence of these conditions are simply not agree to accept the student to study the next step.

Other teachers say that humanity today more advanced than the time of Usui and therefore there is no need to wait - you can even learn the Reiki first two phases together, one workshop.

We know today that Usui taught, was a custom learning and each student appropriate pace. Students would come Usui, get a task or exercise that would perform at a level reached only when needed, would come Usui to get the next task. Each student progressed at his own pace.

When Hayashi and naval officers came to study with Usui, the study was adjusted for and received the concentrated form of knowledge without much practice. When teaching method was great emphasis on treatment, at the request of Hayashi and officers, and therefore it was possible to skip the most spiritual studies.

When Hayashi taught, he conducted workshops that include the two first ranks five consecutive daily sessions of about an hour and a half each session.

Takata did break the first-stage studies in the second degree studies, but students say it is not always required to wait between steps.

Incidentally, after the first phase study Takata not the habit of giving a certificate. Only if the student went on the second level he was receiving the certificate of the first rank.

Personally I prefer to do a separation between the steps but I do not require a gift from one phase to another. If the student feels ready, I let them continue to learn the second level sequence after first-stage studies.

Every person has his own personal trajectory and I feel that on one hand I can not hold someone eager to continue on the other hand, prompting him to me.

Track is personal progress and becomes the only student decision.
