A Reiki Attunement is akin to a blessing.

The Reiki Attunement represents a commitment you make to yourself, to consciously strive to live each day more in tune with your true self and is an integral part of Reiki teaching.

Reiki Attunements are offered one-on-one by a Reiki Master Teacher who has been trained in the Attunement process to share with another person who has the spiritual desire and intention to receive it.

A person can receive one to several Attunements over the course of a lifetime, each instance representing a specific time in one’s spiritual development. A person would receive a Reiki Attunement during a Reiki 1 Beginner’s Workshop and if they choose to continue, subsequently during a Reiki Refresher Workshop. In this case, a student would have taken a class at an earlier time in their life, completed their training, with me or perhaps with another teacher, and may feel the need to receive another Attunement or to refresh their practice and/or learn from another teacher.

During the Attunement, through Reiki symbols and intention, the Reiki teacher works with the Rei, the Universal Energy, acting as a facilitator in the process. The energy that is transmitted during the Attunement is conscious and intelligent, understanding what is needed for each person’s spiritual development at that moment. At the same time, it does take into account what you are consciously wishing to receive at that time in your life, resulting in an experience as unique as the individual receiving it.

From my experience, the Attunement lifts off some of the congestion or energetic residue that may have lingered in your field due to an issue that you may have been dealing with and is now ready to move out. This allows the space created, to fill up with the positive vibes generated from the Attunement itself. As a result, your awareness of both your true self and the universal energy that supports you expands, encouraging a more positive inner spiritual connection and dialogue that can significantly change the way you experience life, bringing a deeper sense of awareness, inner strength, sense of connectedness, confidence, meaning and purpose.

A beautiful experience that is different for every person, a Reiki Attunement has been known to bring tears, laughter, feelings of great comfort, joy, hope, peace, and often no words at all. Some people feel nothing in particular, except that they are very relaxed.

It typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for your body to fully adjust to a Reiki Attunement. Although heightened personal processing is normal in life, Reiki Attunements can trigger such a period of heightened awareness, which can emerge at any and all levels of your being, physically, mentally, and/or emotionally.

During this time, some students feel uncomfortable in their bodies and may have intense dreams. Physical annoyances from the past may reappear, usually with a lesser intensity. Some people may come down with a mild flu or a cold. In any of these cases, common sense should always prevail, with you taking the necessary steps to care for yourself. Some find that their intuition or inner knowing expands, giving them information and affirmations of what they know of themselves and a sense of where that may be out of alignment in their outer life. At the same, this being said, students often have an overriding sense and support that allows inner calmness and peace to address any situation that may arise.

To complement the Reiki Attunement, which is esoteric, is the teaching of the practical aspects and applications of Reiki. A powerful base from which to begin to ground, anchor, and encourage a more balanced flow of energy, it enhances your intuitive intelligence and inner wisdom that permeates every aspect of your being and is so perceptive, that when it is nurtured with love and compassion, the result, over time, can be a more balanced flow of life energy within you and noticed in every area of your daily life.
