What is Attunement
Learning Reiki attunement is the first step in mastering the Reiki
process. With attunement, your channels are opened and you become
connected with the universal energy. Your chakras are cleansed and
energy blockages are cleared.
How to achieve Reiki attunement
Although Reiki is a spiritual process, it can be practiced or
experienced by people of different faiths. The explanations of Reiki
will differ amongst practitioners, but no arcane rituals or set
beliefs are necessary to experience Reiki. There are two schools of
thought about how to achieve Reiki attunement. Some practitioners
feel that attunement must be done with a Reiki master. Others believe
that people can attune themselves, just like Mikao Usui, the founder
of Reiki, did in the early 1900s.
Reiki Attunement with a Reiki Master
There are many benefits in seeking out a Reiki teacher, also known as
a Shihan. A Shihan will be able to answer any questions you may have
about Reiki. There are many different styles of Reiki, so it is
important that you choose a teacher that practices the style you are
most comfortable with. Although a Reiki teacher will be using their
energy in the attunement process, the purpose is to help you to
balance your energy flow....
