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. At the
Reiki support groups sponsored by the Center, additional attunements are
usually given by someone who has taken Third degree Reiki, with no extra fee
required.
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. Therefore, a process of purification prior to the attunement
is recommended to improve the benefit one receives. See below for specific
instructions on preparing for an attunement.
