Reiki
is not taught in the way other healing techniques are taught. It is
transferred to the student by the Reiki Master during an attunement
process. This process opens the crown, heart, and palm chakras and
creates a special link between the student and the Reiki source.
The
Reiki attunement is a powerful spiritual experience. The attunement
energies are channeled into the student through the Reiki Master. The
process is guided by the Rei or God-consciousness and makes adjustments
in the process depending on the needs of each student. The attunement is
also attended by Reiki guides and other spiritual beings who help
implement the process. Many report having mystical experiences involving
personal messages, healings, visions, and past life experiences.
The
attunement can also increase psychic sensitivity. Students often report
experiences involving: opening of the third eye, increased intuitive
awareness, and other psychic abilities after receiving a Reiki
attunement.
Once
you have received a Reiki attunement, you will have Reiki for the
remainder of your life. It does not wear off and you can never lose it.
While one attunement is all you need for each level to be attuned to
that level, additional attunements bring benefit. Experimentation has
found that additional attunements of the same level add to the value of
that level. These benefits include refinement of the Reiki energy one is
channeling, increased strength of the energy, healing of personal
problems, clarity of mind, increased psychic sensitivity, and a raised
level of consciousness.
The
Reiki attunement can start a cleansing process that affects the physical
body as well as the mind and emotions. Toxins
that have been stored in the body may be released along with feelings
and thought patterns that are no longer useful.
By
receiving an attunement you will become part of a group of people who
are using Reiki to heal themselves, and each other, and who are working
together to heal the Earth. You will also be receiving help from Reiki
guides and other spiritual beings who are also working towards these
goals. While Reiki is not a religion, you may prepare your mind with
intention work and pray in a religious mode comfortable to you to
prepare to open to higher spiritual energies and experiences.
