Post-Attunement
Guidelines
Typical reactions during and after a
Reiki attunement:
- Increased energy.
- Inner peace, warmth… within
and/or around the body.
- Gentle tingling sensations,
hands – hot.
- Sense of energy flowing in and
around body.
- Clearer senses.
- Less stress and emotional
problems.
- Improved physical health.
- Increased ability to deal
positively with stressful situations.
- Sense of "coming
home" and of being in touch with "the flow" of life.
- Deepened spiritual awareness
and experiences e.g. seeing or sensing auras, energy, colors, etc.
- Increased clarity of mind and
deeper intuitive or inner wisdom.
- A general feeling of being
more whole, healthy, and happy.
- A more complete sense of
"self".
- A release of toxins.
- Cleansing of body and mind.
- A short, minor illness (cold,
flu).
- Sweating.
- Headaches.
- Frequent urination.
- Need to sleep more.
- Need to drink more.
- Temporary loss or increase in
appetite.
- Vomiting/nausea before/after
eating processed foods. (very rare)
- Some other minor physical
problems.
- Some type of emotional release
(crying, laughing).
Personally, except for one of the attunements I have received I typically get
what I call an energy "high". An increase of energy, warmth surrounds
me, lots of tingling sensations, my palm chakras opened up wide and were very
hot. After one in particular, I felt like I sprouted wings and was flying around
the room for a couple of hours. And mind you this was after being up all night
with only a wee bit of napping. The attunement I felt different reactions to
left me feeling very susceptible to cool and cold temperatures. I am typically
the one who is always hot. I was freezing and shivering so badly that I left the
room until the Reiki master finished attuning the rest of the students in order
to not disturb anyone else. The susceptibility to cold temperatures lasted a
couple of months (during the winter in the desert). That particular reaction has
gone away since then.
To improve your Reiki channel:
- Consume less meat, alcohol,
caffeine, and cigarettes – at least for a few weeks after.
- Meditate a little every day.
i.e. 20 minutes each morning and evening.
- Regular light exercise:
walking, swimming, Yoga, Tai Chi.
- Set a clear, honest intent for
the greatest good before the treatment, and say/think a short prayer if you
wish.
- Keep a relaxed and open body
and mind during the treatment.
- Try not to mentally control or
direct Reiki, other than your original intent (unless you are Second
Degree). Keep things simple, and let Reiki do the work.
- Trust that Reiki will go to
where it is most needed, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
- Remember regular
self-treatment and receiving Reiki from others is important.
- Try not to expect the results
that you want, be patient, and enjoy but do not get too attached to good
results!
- At the end of every treatment
remember to briefly dedicate or direct the future effects of your good karma
(positive actions) to some good cause! (I feel this is effective only if you
believe in karma whether it is good or bad karma.)
Give yourself daily self-treatments
regularly:
- While watching television
- While sitting in a park, or in
church
- During tea or lunch break at
work
- When traveling by bus, train,
or in a car sitting in a traffic jam
- While reading, studying, or
memorizing
- When walking anywhere,
standing in a line
It is recommended that the length of your daily self-treatments equal an
hour. Some people may not be physically able to treat themselves for a complete
hour. In that case, treat for as long as is possible, but do what you are able
to. For those who do not "have the time" can start off with treating
yourself before you fall asleep or after you wake up or follow the above
recommendations. If Reiki makes you drowsy, please do not Reiki yourself
in your car.
