During initiation Reiki students open themselves allowing a unique intimacy. Often, the Master serves as a reflector of the student’s projections.

Young Masters tend to let their egos inflate. Therapy keeps this in check and it helps to reflect our coming of age over generations. Some masters may choose therapeutic outlets (e.g. sport).
When an initiator's responsibility is not carefully dealt with, transgressions can occur. An example and the resulting sadness and regret.
