What is a Reiki Attunement? A Guide to Energy Healing

Background of Reiki

A Buddhist monk named Dr. Mikao Usui founded Reiki in Japan in the 19th century, and it has been practiced there for thousands of years. Reiki is a technique that relies on the idea of channeling universal life energy from the practitioner to the patient. Reiki has been used for many years all throughout the world.

What is a Reiki Attunement?

A spiritual ceremony called an attunement links you to the healing energy of Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique. This allows you to experience the highest level of energy healing by opening the chakras and energetic channels in your body. Your energy levels, alertness, and intuitive talents are all enhanced by the attunement.

A Reiki Master who has received training and the Reiki energy themselves transmits the energy to the learner at a ceremony during an attunement. Chakras, or the seven major energy centers of the body, are opened during the ceremony for the pupil. The receiver is then led by the Master through a series of activities to further widen and balance their energy pathways. Techniques for breathing, visualization, and meditation are all part of these exercises.

After the attunement is finished, the recipient experiences inner serenity, calm, and a sense of connectedness to the cosmos. An attunement can take place in person or remotely, with the Reiki Master channeling energy from a distance.

The Reiki Attunement Procedure

Preparation precedes the action. The process starts with the student being cognitively, emotionally, and spiritually prepared for the encounter. The student may receive instructions on how to ground themselves and develop a stronger sense of their interconnectedness with the cosmos during this phase. The ability to direct their thoughts and intentions toward the healing process will be taught to them.

The Reiki Master will start the actual attunement once the student is ready. Then, the Master will place their hands in specified locations on the student's head and torso (or a prop if long distance). The student receives the energy from the Reiki Master, and the student will begin to feel the energy vibrating throughout their body.

The student is advised to continue regularly practicing Reiki after the attunement is finished in order to sustain their connection to the Reiki energy and continue to benefit from it. They might discover that as they get better at practicing, they can access higher levels of healing.

Benefits of a Reiki Attunement

A person often experiences a multitude of advantages following an attunement, which may include both emotional and physical advantages. A common advantage of an attunement is better general health. Deep relaxation enables the body to release stress and negative blockages. A higher sense of equanimity, peace, and wellbeing might result from this release. After a Reiki attunement, people frequently report feeling more energized and having better focus.

An attunement frequently has immediate and significant positive effects on one's emotions. A great deal of people experience a sensation of profound relaxation, calm, and clarity that enables them to let go of tension and feel more connected to themselves and the environment. 

An attunement also gives you a sense of connection to a higher power. Many people report experiencing spiritual direction or a connection during the process, which aids in keeping them grounded and connected to their higher purpose. People who are in this state of increased spiritual awareness tend to make wiser decisions, are more mindful, and are able to trust their intuition more readily.

Overall, receiving an attunement can be immensely restorative and transformational for the body as well as the mind!
