As you grow in your Reiki practice you will, no doubt, one day start to wonder if there isn’t something more… a higher level than the Reiki Master level, a greater energetic awareness, a deeper understanding of this incredible gift to mankind, a higher use of Reiki’s awesomeness… and the answer to all this lies in Reiki Sensitivity… whether directed towards the physical. mental, emotional or spiritual aspects of Reiki, all advances lie in the ability to perceive the ever more subtle nuances that lie at the heart of Reiki. Just as you received a calling to understand Reiki to the degree you are at now, someday you will inevitably receive a calling to go further. The ability to do so lies in Reiki Sensitivity.
Reiki Sensitivity on the physical level involves the ability to sense subtler and subtler hibiki while performing byosen scanning. It also involves the ability to determine between different ‘flavors’, if you will, of subtlety. Reiki Sensitivity on the emotional and mental levels involves the ability to sense subtler and subtler variations in voice tone, inflection, verbiage, metaphorical analogy, innuendo consistency (or lack thereof) at which Reiki energies can be directed to perform those types of healings. Reiki Sensitivity on the spiritual level involves the ability to sense subtler and subtler states of consciousness, frames of being, depth in meditation, etc. and the accompanying ability to progress on whichever spiritual path you have chosen.
Reiki sensitivity in all of these areas can be grown, through effort, exercise, persistence and dedication towards doing so. Few Reiki Masters have progressed far enough on the Reiki path to be able to guide you, so your greatest guide lives within. This is not difficult, and actually makes Reiki all the more fascinating. All you have to do is set your mind to do so and allow yourself to start noticing the things you’ve been neglecting to notice. Later this year there will be another 30 Day Reiki Challenge in which we will be devoting some attention specifically towards this. In the meantime, challenge yourself to see what you’ve been missing… you’ll be surprised as you start to uncover some really neat stuff <technical term>. 
Dr. Usui proclaimed himself to be about a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 as far as his Reiki ability was concerned… its a pity so many Reiki Masters have settled on that as the bar. Dr. Usui opened the door for us and it is up to us, individually to see what’s on the other side.
