Reiki - What is it like being a Reiki master?

From Ailim:

Being a Reiki master means having a well-tuned sense of your own energy and that of the people around you. It also comes with an incredible amount of responsibility; the untrained cannot direct energy consciously, as those who have received even the first-level Reiki attunements can, and so being careful about how forcefully you channel the energy is important-- as is preparing for overloads in case you miscalculate. Finally, it means being sure to care for your physical and spiritual bodies properly, as it is highly unwise to perform Reiki if you yourself are experiencing blockages or alignment issues.
