A 1st degree in Reiki should be viewed apart from other 1st degrees in other disciplines. Every Reiki Master is unique and works at the level that they have achieved over the years. Therefore, that is the level that they can give to their students. Anytime after 3 months upon following the Reiki 1st degree course, you can continue on your journey with Reiki by following the Reiki 2 Course.
