A Reiki
Attunement is a very special ceremony for those who wish to become a Reiki practitioner or to advance their level of Reiki,
where the ability to do Reiki is put into their hands. The chakras are aligned during the process, allowing the
ability to give energy to others and to yourself without losing any of your own energy. Reiki I is considered to be
the "awakening" where the ability to use Reiki is available whenever you want it.
A
Reiki I attunement, Shoden in Japenese, transfers approximately 20% power from Master to student. It takes
three to four weeks to adjust to the attunement since a cleansing process may begin, affecting the physical body as well
as your mind and emotions. This occurs when stored toxins are released along with feelings and thought patterns
that are no longer useful. Keep in mind that this does not occur for everyone but if you do have this experience it
is helpful to understand what is happening so that you can support the completion. It would not be unusual to feel a
little spacey or tingly, have more intense dreams, or experience detoxification symptoms which could include diarrhea, running
nose, or increased urination. Note: regardless of these symptoms you will still feel well and the symptoms
are merely the result of the energy adjusting, increasing your capacity to channel the healing energy.
Using Reki healing on yourself daily will act to rebalance
the energy and decrease the sensations that may have resulted from the attunement process. This will also help to keep
your energy high and protect you.
Once you become attuned all you have to do is think
about Reiki and it will begin to flow. You will never lose your ability to do Reiki; you will always be able to use
healing energy to help all living things. If you don't use Reiki regularly your energy will not be very strong and
you will not be able to advance your level of Reiki.
There are many ways to use Reiki:
- Use Reiki
on yourself
- Use Reiki on plants
- Give Reiki to pets, but be careful since animals are very sensitive to energy and a little goes a long way.
Never force them!
- You can give Reiki to others, with their permission.
- You can even Reiki your food.
