Shinpiden is the teaching level of Reiki Healing. The Level Two practitioner who pursues this level desires to make the practice and teaching of this system her life work. The master-candidate establishes a relationship with an experienced Master in the Usui System. The mentoring Master determines the length of the training program - a minimum of one year, often longer. All knowledge necessary to teach and initiate students into the Usui System of Reiki Healing is conveyed. The master-candidate develops understanding of, and demonstrates competency in, the subtleties of the system's essence, practice and principles. One initiation is given by the mentoring Master. The fee for this level is by individual contract.
