In the meantime, read on to find out more about the attunement process, what to expect, and how to prepare.
Deciding to receive Reiki attunements requires thought and reflection. When you decide to receive Reiki attunements, remember that you are discovering not only a method of healing, but also a system of personal and spiritual growth that can help lead you to greater self awareness. This is a deeply profound process that can lead you to make many changes in your life. Therefore, we recommend taking some quiet time prior to your attunements to ensure that you are in the right mental, emotional and spiritual space.
This article will describe the attunement process and let you know what to expect. In the meantime, as you prepare, please be sure to check out this article about how to become a Reiki practitioner.
The Reiki Attunement Process
Remember that Reiki works on the mental, spiritual, emotional, physical and karmic levels. For this reason, you can use it many different ways to help yourself and others. You may wish to receive attunements to address some issues on the physical level. For example, if you have a challenging condition and you would like to give yourself Reiki treatments. Or, you may be searching for spiritual answers or seeking greater self awareness.
No matter what your reasons are for seeking Reiki attunements, keep the Reiki principle “Just for today, I will not worry” in mind. Remember that our own thoughts and emotions are what keep us separated from the Reiki energy. Therefore, know that you can and will re-awaken your own healing abilities by receiving attunements, and that you can and will help yourself and others with Reiki.
The Reiki 1 attunement ceremony involves receiving 4 attunements. Dr. Usui used to perform these over the course of several days, but Mrs. Takata began performing them all on the same day. Most Reiki masters I know follow Mrs. Takata’s method, as do I. Once you receive attunements, you will be able to receive and channel Reiki energy to help yourself and others.
What Is The Difference Between Level 1, Level 2 And Level 3 Reiki Attunements In Montreal?
In order to begin practicing any level of Reiki, you need to be attuned by a Reiki master. Level 1 allows you to work on yourself and on others, as well as only plants, animals and objects.
Phyllis Lei Furumoto, the granddaughter of Mrs. Hawayo Takata and one of Mrs. Takata’s 22 Reiki masters, used to say that level 1 is all you need. If you already have level 1 and are considering further attunements for level 2, the consideration should be the level on which you wish to work, as opposed to making Reiki “more effective”. Reiki is already 100% effective at level 1, but the question to reflect on is whether you would like to work on the emotional and mental levels, and be able to send Reiki over a distance. Reiki Level 2 allow you to do all of these things with the us of symbols.
Traditionally, the Reiki Master attunement was for those who wished to dedicate their lives to Reiki. This is the way Mrs. Takata taught, and it was the reason why she charged $10,000 for the Reiki Master attunement. Today, most Reiki masters charge less that that. However, keep in mind that the decision to become a Reiki master is an important one. I recommend meditating on these questions as you continue to contemplate your journey into Reiki.
How To Prepare For Your Reiki Attunements
Here are some simple guidelines to follow to prepare for and get the most out of your Reiki attunements. These guidelines are the same whether you are preparing for a Level 1, Level 2 or Reiki master attunement.
It is best to stop using any recreational drugs or alcohol prior to receiving your attunements. This will allow you to fully engage with the experience without hindering your mind in any way. In addition, substances such as these can contribute to the blockages that we ourselves create between us and the Reiki energy. That said, if you are taking any prescription medications, please continue to take them! In addition, it would, of course be beneficial to stop smoking cigarettes, if you do so.
In the days leading up to your attunements, it is also a good idea to eat as pure a diet as possible. This means minimizing refined foods like sugar and flour and refraining from soft drinks. Also, drink as much pure water as possible. I am sure that you will be amazed how good you feel just by taking these simple steps.
During this period, daily meditation can be very beneficial. For example, you can review and meditate on the 5 Reiki principles, do breathing exercises, or any other type of meditation you feel would be beneficial.
On the actual day of the attunement, you should plan to wear comfortable clothes, and, if possible, leave any jewelry at home.
What Happens During A Reiki Attunement?
During your Reiki attunement, the Reiki master will use the symbols discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui to attune you to the Reiki energy. This process helps to clear the things that have been standing between you and the Reiki energy. During the attunement, you may see or feel the Reiki master moving around the room, or touching your head or hands. In addition, your eyes will be closed. All of this is normal and is part of the process. The attunement process generally lasts for about 30 minutes.
During the Reiki level 1 attunement, you will be attuned to the Reiki energy. You will then be able to work on yourself and on others. During the level 2 and master attunements, you will be attuned to the Reiki symbols for each of these levels. Similar to a Reiki treatment, the student’s being will choose how much energy to draw in, and which aspects of him or herself need to be balanced. Your being will make a series of shifts and release the energies that are not needed both during and after the attunement.
While the attunement process is happening, you feel certain sensations, like tingling or a feeling of warmth or cold. Or, you may also see images. Some students also feel certain emotions, or they may find the ceremony so relaxing that they actually fall asleep. Some students experience none of these sensations at all. Rest assured that all of this is normal. There is no one correct way to experience Reiki attunements. Whatever you experience, you may wish to keep a notebook nearby so that you can record any impressions you receive during this amazing experience!
What Happens After The Reiki Attunement?
After the Reiki 1 attunement, many students report that they can sense the Reiki energy flowing from their hands. They may feel a heat or cold or tingling in their hands. If you do not experiences these sensations right away, that is also perfectly normal. You may also sense that this energy begins to flow when you are around people or when you have the intention to give Reiki. An any case, all you need to do is relax and allow the Reiki to flow. The wisdom and intelligence of the energy will do the rest.
Remember that as the Reiki begins flowing, and the blockages between you and the Reiki begin to clear, you may experience what is known as a healing incident with minor physical symptoms. In these cases, follow your intuition and rest or meditate when you feel it’s necessary. Take walks out in nature, eat well, drink plenty of water and breathe deeply to help your body through this process.
During the time after the attunement process, no matter if it’s Level 1, 2 or Master, I recommend that you pay close attention to your dreams. These may offer valuable insight into the healing process and into your life as you begin to work with Reiki. Remember that any recurring dreams may hold and important message that you have not yet grasped.
No matter what you experience after your attunement, you should always let Reiki guide you and trust your own intuition.
