Much like the three stages an aspiring Aes Sedai goes through, so must the Reiki student go through three stages. At first she is made aware of the universal energy of Reiki. She is educated in its background, when it was first applied and the techniques that can help to be more open to it.

Like the novice learns to open herself up to saidar, so does the Reiki master teach us how to open our channels to Reiki.

After the first initiation, the novice then starts working towards Reiki II and when she has practiced with flows enough and has treated enough different people to feel the difference in their physical state, the Master will initialise her into Reiki II.

Where the first initiation is mosty a physical one, to "open the channels", Reiki II can be a very emotional affair.

Old hurts can suddenly surface and a lot of people find themselves very unbalanced for a couple of weeks, only to surface from it much stronger. With Reiki II come the symbols of Power that help us to turn up the power output a notch or two. Every Reiki II initiate will now be able to treat people from a distance and does not need to make physical contact to make the Healing effective.

Finally, when both student and Master think she is ready, the Reiki II Accepted will become a Master herself. The final initiation is one of the spirit. The final Power symbols are embedded in the new Master's Aura and drawn on her hands. She can now in turn give Reiki I and II initialisations herself.
