The attunement process brings about a cleansing of your physical body and a gentle clearing of the emotional and mental ‘baggage’ we all seem to carry with us.
It is not unusual for people to begin a clearing process after the attunements, which can last from a few days to a few weeks. This clearing can be physical, mental or emotional and every person will experience this in their own unique ways. Some will not experience anything ‘out of the ordinary’ and some will be shaken to the core on many levels.
What is happening is that the Reiki energy is beginning to heal and balance you on all levels. Toxins that have built up in your body are gently removed, hence the tiredness or flu like symptoms that some may experience. Emotional energy, which has become ‘trapped’ or stagnant is released, which is why you may feel unexplainably angry or weepy etc This may not happen for everyone but if it does, it’s important to realise what is taking place so you can support its completion.
There are also many positive things which may occur as well…Increased clarity of thought, improved powers of concentration, better memory, psychic senses develop and sharpen etc So whatever happens, just go with it. The final results will be spectacular however you experience the journey.
Some people experience a variety of things when attunement takes place. Some perceive colours, some perceive aromas and some perceive energy beings. The initiation ceremony, although coordinated by the Reiki Master, is also attended by Reiki guides and other spirit helpers which may explain the source of the colours, lights, odours and visions that some people may report experiencing.
Some feel they are filled with Light or become serene, full of wonder or love and some become emotional. Some people feel nothing at all and that is very okay too.
Each person is affected differently depending on your vibratory level when you receive the attunements. In other words, if you have been doing work to expand your conscious awareness, and have reached a high vibratory level, the attunements will provide a ‘quantum leap’ to an even higher level. To someone just starting out on their path, the expansion of energy is just as great but relative to the level you started from. You will continue to increase your vibratory level the more you treat yourself and others with Reiki.
Once attuned to Reiki 1, you will only have to place your hands on yourself, another person, animal, plant or planet with the intent to heal, and the healing energy will flow.
IMPORTANT: It pays to remember that Reiki energy flows THROUGH you – not FROM you! In other words, whether a healing is to take place or not, is not up to you. You are not the healer! (Get out of the way!) You are simply the CHANNEL that healing energy can flow through.
