My RM never contacted me to see how I was doing -- not after level 1, not after level 2, and not even after my RM attunement. Not once, not ever. Just took my $, taught me the stuff, attuned me, and let me run with it. Though to be fair, she did say I should call her if I needed to. In my level 2 group two women got into a big competition about which of them was more spiritual -- I was so irritated I didn't even feel the attunement! But you know what, it didn't in the least affect the reiki I do. I think people are called to reiki, and it hardly matters who does the attuning. The energy does what needs to be done.
Enjoy it! And if it's long distance reiki that you are called to, then do that :)
Cheers,
