philanty,
Namaste.
It was almost three years before I did the r-3 - and only after 21\2 years of group reiki shares twice permont with other reiki 2 and 3 people.
My Teacher\Master summation was splendid. Traditional with some other stuff added in that both the Teacher and I were interested in doing.
Enjoy your master work when the teacher appears.
Reiki all around,
all blessings,
firekeeper
