3 Important Tips to Proceed Reiki Attunements
What separates Reiki from other healing modalities are the Reiki Attunements. Since these Reiki attunements operate on the etheric plane, there cannot be a scientific explanation as to how and why they work, they just do.
To understand what Reiki attunements are we first have to accept that we are all connected to one Source ” you might call it God or whatever you feel comfortable with. At the time we were born into this world we had a close connection to this source, the universe. But over the time of our education and adjustment to our social environment, our connection still broke, due to the misconception of the mass consciousness about the truth of our Being. As a result we were disconnected from Higher Realms. Now, here starts the concept of Reiki and its attunements. Being attuned is kind of like tuning into a radio frequency or station. It restores simply frequencies to Higher Energy realities, which brings in healing or restoring energies.
It also tells our subconscious minds that we are ready and willing to regain control of our lives, our health, and our spiritual well being, and we do it with our own two hands!
After Reiki attunements are received, all that needs to be done to give Reiki is to have the intention to heal and it will immediately begin flowing.
Reiki Attunements – Tip 1: What is the most efficient way to give a Distance Reiki Attunements?
Once you’ve received Reiki attunements you have the key and authorization to attune others into the same level. There are many different ways to send Reiki attunements and eventually you will find the way you are most comfortable with. With the Reiki Manual you will receive from your Reiki Master, you will find advice on how to attune your students in several steps. This includes the transfer of symbols, which represent different possibilities you will have with Reiki . Distant Reiki attunements simply mean that your student doesn’t have to be there physically.
The connection will take place spiritually through your both Higher Self and exchange that energy level at a particular set time.
If you plan to separate your Reiki Attunements into levels, you have to set your intention to whichever level you want to transmit. In my personal opinion I wouldn’t suggest breaking up your Reiki Attunement s into any more than 3 levels, level 1, level 2, and the Master level. There are people who split up 5 levels! However, it is probably just to make more money. I have had great results from sending the Complete Reiki Attunements 1-3 no matter what level the person was at, from beginners to advance. The only exception I do is, I give Reiki Attunements 1 separately, if people want to experience the Reiki energies. Regardless, some people think it is easier to handle the energetic changes of the 3 levels when they are split up. But I bet that the Universe knows what each person can handle or not, so I guess you can leave it up to Spirit to decide what the person is ready for.
Reiki Master Attunement –Tip 3 How to proceed Hands-on- Reiki Attunements?
A hands-on attunement is the same as the distance Reiki attunements, except the person should be physically present. Explain your client what you’ll be doing and that he should close his eyes and put his hands in the prayer position. You probably want to stand behind him to open his aura and place the symbols in the crown chakra. After that you can move to the front for the rest of the procedure. When you finish the Reiki attunements let him know that he should sit for a while to ground himself. The person might imagine, that roots coming out from his feet to spread into the ground. That will help, if your client might feel dizzy or even a little nauseous for some time afterwards. Explain him that what he is experiencing is a normal reaction to attunements. Before you begin doing hands-on Reiki attunements, I would recommend that you practice on a teddy bear or pillow to gain confidence. As with all skills, practice as much as you need to in order to feel more comfortable.
Reiki Attunements – Tip 3 How to do Healing Reiki Attunements?
Reiki Healing attunements are a wonderful possibility to give an Reiki attunements to those who have no intention to learn or teach Reiki. First you have to switch your intention to reflect the nature of the attunement. You might say, for example, “May this healing attunement work for (recipient’s) stomach pain and the energies will be integrated to his/her Highest Good at that time. From day to day he/her gets better. So be it.”
Healing Reiki attunements are part of the energy healing concept. The clients will be attuned to your intention “to regain the overall health”. It is also called Distant or Absent Healing.
2 Ways to Go Having a Reiki Certificate
If you have a Reiki Certificate it is a free choice of a practitioner to ask money for Reiki sessions and attunements. To offer your service for free is a very devoted gesture, which is everybody choice. However if you’ll have to feed your family or yourself you have to think it over and evaluate your overall situation.
Naturally, even you have a Reiki certificate on your wall you will need knowledge, experience and confidence, before you start making a living doing something that you enjoy to do.
My suggestion is giving free trial sessions to friends and family to get started and gain confidence. It is clear that you are not charging for the energy; it’s free for everybody. It’s your time and commitment to what you’ve studied that you are charging for. Once I got my Reiki certificate I started out giving Reiki by treating my family, coworkers and pets and also doing Reiki attunements. Offering these free attunements was very fulfilling and I feel like I made a huge difference in a lot of peoples’ lives - people who did not have the money to pay for an attunement but wanted to learn how to heal themselves and others.
Even now, several years and experience later, it is not a good idea, to prevent someone from a healing or attunement because they don’t have the money at that point of time. Having a Reiki certificate is also a commitment to the Reiki lifestyle. Remember there is always the law of karma which says: do unto others as you’d have them do unto you. That’s just the Law it is and we’ll better follow it.
Owning a Reiki Certificate - Possibility 1
If you have a Reiki certificate you are qualified to teach others!
Out of my personal experience, even with Reiki certificate credentials, I would advise you to collect a lot of personal experience, before you start to teach somebody else. The reason, of course, is your students search for answers, and your ability to face them. The other point is your own experience with the Reiki energy. If you don’t get aware of the inner side of the Reiki energy, you miss out the most vital point in your whole Reiki journey. Reiki is beautiful and one reason is in its simplicity. The concept of Reiki is one that can be easily grasped, but you have to learn through your own experience and awareness.
Basically, attunements can be transmitted even you don’t have collected experience already. Practicing attunements will help you gain knowledge into the processes involved in Reiki, both through your own feelings during the attunement procedure and through the attunees’ experiences.
I became a Reiki Master to grow spiritually and to expand my awareness. In this process you gain so much knowledge, so that teaching others become natural. Teaching and expanding Reiki to as many people as possible has not always been my goal and desire, as I’m sure it is not for many of you. Even after reading many books on Reiki, receiving the attunements, doing hands-on healing sessions, sending many attunements to others, and owning a Reiki certificate, I still didn’t have the knowledge and intention to be a teacher. Only when I asked my Higher Self in what I can do to help others, I discovered my ability to teach Reiki to others. What a new experience!
Owning a Reiki Certificate - Possibility 2
If you have a professional Reiki certificate and want to supply your income, why not becoming a Reiki Master Associate?
At that time you have completed all necessary the lessons and assignments to receive your Reiki Certificate, and if you develop the desire to teach others but not necessarily create your own learning material, there are always options of becoming an Professional Reiki Mastery Associate, which is beneficial because you can purchase a professionally accredited course handbook as an affiliate for your own students. You can handle them their Reiki certificate and charge your students as you see your value in supporting their studies.
You will guide your students’ through the course, transmitting the attunements and answering their questions which might occur. Once your students have completed the assignments and learned all necessary steps, they will receive a internationally accredited Reiki Certificate by you or through any Professional Reiki Mastery Association.
If you have the desire to teach Reiki, but don’t want to create your own handbook, and wish to provide your students with an accredited Reiki certificate, becoming an associate may be the right option for you.
The 3 Basic Lectures of a Reiki School
As we all know, energy healing which can be learned in a Reiki school is the future of balancing body and spirit and to enhance life quality of humanity. But it is also clear, that a Reiki school needs standards on which to build on the student’s knowledge. Otherwise everybody calls himself a master without being one.
The first principle a Reiki school will explain is that Reiki can be described as multidimensional. It goes to the core of the imbalance in mind, body, or spirit, the nucleus of the cell, and then moves imperceptibly outward through the tissue balancing and thus healing.
The Reiki practitioner’s body is the instrument through which universal energy flows. The energy is drawn by magnet resonance of any imbalance in the mind, body, or spirit of the person, animal, or plant.
So what are the essential parts and basics you will learn in a Reiki school?
Reiki School Course 1: What is Reiki?
Originating in Japan, and started in the early 1920s, Mikao Usui received and developed Reiki as the way to make mind and body healthy on the basis of Universal Reiki or life force energy. Reiki is the vibration of love and harmony of universal energy. It is not only a wonderful healing technique, but rather an very effective way to raise spirituality and to radiate a positive life. Reiki brings all into balance, creates harmony, and thus healing the mind, body, and spirit. Many students tell me, “Reiki is making such a positive difference in our life.”
Reiki School Course 2: Who has the ability to practice Reiki?
The instructor of a Reiki school has to explain why the source of Reiki is from God, The Creator, Spirit, the Universal Mind, Your Inner-Self, or whatever you call Him, Her, or It, and as a result anyone can practice Reiki. You will also learn that we are all equal, and we have the ability to heal others and ourselves. In fact it is our forgotten birthright. But being a Reiki “Master” doesn’t make someone better than anyone else, and it doesn’t even mean that you have mastered the art of Reiki, which is not possible; it simply means that you have been attuned to the Master Level of Reiki, learned all of the Reiki symbols, and know how to send attunements, and teach others. In my personal opinion we should all be called Reiki practitioners, but since the attunements are only given and accepted from Reiki Masters, this is the only reason why there is a need of distinction. To some people, the title “Master” gives them a feeling of superiority or power, just like other occupations do.
Reiki School Course 3: The Reiki principles are very important!
As a part of the Reiki School you will furthermore be exposed to the Reiki Principles, which the founder Usui always gave to his student. These principles are:
Just for today…
Do not get angry.
Do not worry.
Be grateful. Work hard. B
Be kind to others.
Think for a while. If only 1% of the human race would take these principles serious, how would be the world today?
What Must a Successful Reiki Teaching Offer?
If somebody feels the Inner call to be involved or to practice Reiki, a proper Reiki Teaching is essential to pass the three levels of Reiki experience or development.
The ability to do Reiki is not something that can be learned in the normal sense. Rather it is something which is activated or awakened within the individual through a process of Initiation ” what we call an Reiki Master Attunement.
This Attunement is the central focus of each Reiki Teaching Degree and involves a special energetic transfer technique whereby the Reiki Teacher (Master) essentially re-patterns or re-calibrates the student’s etheric field & subtle chakra system.
We can use an Internet Technology analogy. It’s a like transferring a specific data program, which enables the student to interact and work with the Reiki power. The Reiki master will download a copy of that program into your being, thereby enabling you to work and heal with the Reiki energy.
Reiki Teaching Essentials - Attunements: How to get a Reiki Master Attunement?
The preparation for receiving a distance attunement is extremely simple:
You will agree with your Reiki Master on specific time and date to transfer the energies. Once you arranged a time, you set at least 30 minutes set aside where you will be comfortable and free from distractions. It is up to you if you want to receive your attunement before or after receiving a Reiki Teaching guide. Do what makes you feel more comfortable. In my opinion the Manual comes first.
Approximately 5 minutes before the attunement starts, you might lay down in a comfortable place. No need to be on the phone or computer during the attunement, as the connection is made possible through our Higher Self. After getting comfortable, you should set your intention (affirmation/prayer) to receive the attunement. Then, simply lay back, relax, and enjoy the energy. That’s it. Just relax!
There is nothing else you need, except you want to create a sacred environment. You might use candles and music to create a pleasant atmosphere while receiving the attunements.
Feelings: The Reiki teaching states that you may or may not feel anything physically but this does not mean that the attunement didn’t work. You have been empowered with a very special gift that you may need to work with for a while before the changes begin to take place. If you have time after the attunement, I suggest taking about 30 minutes to an hour to do a Self - healing.
Cleansing Period: The first 21-30 days after your attunement are what is known as your cleansing period. During this time, you may want to stay away from the following as much as possible: Red meat, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. You should also drink plenty of water each day and give yourself Reiki Healings as often as possible.
The Attunement procedure is the real joy in the Reiki Teaching Process. Be excited!
A Reiki Manual is Your Guide to Get a Powerful Healer
Within most Reiki Manual, Reiki will be mostly defined as a gentle, yet profound, non-invasive therapy, which can facilitate stress-reduction and relaxation, support effective immune-system function, enhance the body’s self-healing mechanisms, and replenish and nurture vitality.
You will further explore in the Reiki manual that Reiki is very efficient in combination with other therapies, and has been proven to effectively stimulate the recovery process.
Rather than acting solely on a physical level, Reiki is holistic in its effect - eliciting a healing response across the entire spectrum of ones being - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
It can be beneficial in the resolving of physical, emotional, mental disorders and nervous conditions, and further helps experiencing a greater sense of balance, feeling of well-being, and wholeness in one’s life.
The Reiki treatments have no negative side effects, and no concentration on the part of clients is neither needed, nor expected.
The complete Reiki Manual should contain 3 main parts:
- Reiki 1
- Reiki 2 –
- Reiki 3 Master Level.
Reiki Manual Part 1
What does Level 1 Reiki mean?
At Level 1, the Reiki Master Attunement opens the student to the flow of Reiki or to the awareness of Reiki.
Traditionally, in Usui Reiki, the student of Level 1 the Reiki manual is focused on hands-on therapy at a purely physical level either for self-treatment or for treating others.
However, the inner focus of Level 1 is about learning to become a clear channel for Reiki.
In Reiki manual lecture 1 it is about learning to let go and let the energy flow - about learning to step out of the way - learning to override the desire of one’s conscious mind to interfere in the therapeutic process, and instead, simply let the Reiki phenomenon ‘happen’.
The attitude should be almost Zen-like, compassionate, and as detached as possible. You have to learn sitting quietly, ‘no-doing’, not seeking after outcomes, Reiki just flows. If healing happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t - either way it’s no concern of yours.
Developing this attitude early on will greatly enhance the quality of one’s journey with Reiki.
Reiki Manual Part 2
What means Reiki Level 2?
As Level 1 opens the student to the awareness of the energy of Reiki, the Level 2 Reiki Master Attunement deepens the quality of that flow.
The student should have developed the attitude of ‘compassionate detachment from expectations’ at level 1, the teaching in Reiki manual Level 2 is adding a set of symbolic tools enabling them to ’set’ intentions - and broaden the scope of their therapeutic interventions.
Within the Level 2 Reiki manual and training, the student is introduced to a set of three sacred Reiki Master symbols, and is instructed in their use as a means of:
- enhancing the effectiveness of physical level treatment - both hands-on and in the clients aura) - performing distant or remote treatments - i.e. for people not physically present - carrying out treatment at deeper psycho-emotional levels
Reiki Manual Part 3
What does Reiki Level 3 mean? Reiki Level 3 is commonly referred to as the ‘Master’ level, but can be more properly seen as the ‘Teacher’ level. On this level the student will manifest the ability to transmit Initiation/Reiki Master Attunements to others.
This level’s Attunement brings a greater deepening of connection to the Reiki phenomenon.
The Reiki Manual student is introduced to a fourth sacred symbol - the Master symbol, and is instructed in its uses, including its significance in the Initiation/Attunement process.
A complete Reiki Manual should include all levels including the symbols. However, Reiki Level I training will provide all the basic awareness required to practice this special therapeutic art - primarily for self-healing, and also for treating others - family, friends, pets - even household plants. Level 2 will deepen level 1 and level 3 will enable you to teach others.
For people who will be attuned, and expand through the Reiki Manual, the energy healing method Reiki can be utilized as a form of body-centered meditation and, especially at the higher levels, will be an invaluable tool for spiritual growth, having a subtle and transforming effect on one’s personal development.
A Crucial Timeline to Become a Reiki Therapist
In this timeline it is a blessing to become a Reiki therapist!
The actual 2012 Galactic Shift is an extremely crucial aspect of humanity, because we enter the cycle of the -so called - Golden Age, where humanity shifts from material behavior with all the visible distorted effects into a spiritual age, where aspects of love and joy rule.
Love and joy - what does it mean?
That simply means that can share our inner feelings of love more open to our environment. All the fear and protection mechanism will fade away. This is especially facilitating all healing.
Health will not anymore be controlled by pharmaceutical interest or the selfish medical community which wants to hold the grip on the power of humans.
The human race has given away its power eons ago - now it’s time to get it back.
So let’s take responsibility back and heal yourself and help others by getting a Reiki therapist
Once you intend to become a Reiki therapist, you will enjoy its beauty. Check out what you will get from a Reiki Therapist Course:
- Reiki therapist Level I Attunement
- Reiki therapist Level II Attunement
- Reiki therapist Attunement Master
Every attunement brings you into a new energy level of awareness. This is a result of an energetic shift of your chakras that brings in new understanding of pattern or behavior, which you were not able to perceive before.
Furthermore, you will be more aware of your clients aura and energy field, since your intuition and direct cognition has become more sensitive. Stay objective and passionate, but keep a healthy distance. Your energy field might get drained. Be aware!
If you choose to become a Reiki therapist, you also choose to enhance your spiritual evolution. Sooner or later everybody has to, because there are no exceptions. You only have the free will to prolong it.
This is why I mentioned in the beginning the 2012 scenario, where at that point of evolution everybody has to make choices. If you choose to stay blind to whom you really are and what life means in its real truth, you might experience many personal problems on the physical or emotional level. If that will happen, be glad, because your Higher Guides will awake you to the Truth of love and peace.
If your choice is the path of fear and material compensation, you will come to the point in your evolution where you will reflect and laugh about your acceptance of pain and hardship. Choose the path of healing and spirituality. Choose to be a Reiki therapist. Choose life.
