WHAT IS REIKI
The word ‘Reiki’ is formed through two Japanese words: ‘Rei’ which means Universal or Omnipresent (present everywhere all at once) and ‘Ki’ which means Life Force or Vital Energy. Together, it is known as Universal Life Force Energy ("Chi" in Western culture and "Qi" in Chinese culture).
Reiki has origins in India and the East dating back many thousands of years to the time before Christ and Buddha. The original name, disciplines and techniques of Reiki were lost due to the traditional method of passing knowledge from generation to generation by word of mouth. Exactly when this ancient art of healing disappeared is difficult to determine. However, we do know that it was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui who fashioned the name "Reiki". He popularized Reiki in Japan through his healing modality, Usui Reiki. It was later brought to the Western world by Mrs. Hawayo Takata.
Reiki is known to provide stress-relief and relaxation, while at the same time, provides healing on a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level. It is a form of energy healing that increases life force energy ("Ki") and stimulates the body's natural healing process to heal and bring balance back to the mind, body, and spirit. Reiki also helps one to achieve spiritual advancement.
When the body has more Ki, it can trigger and speed up the body’s innate self-healing process, helping the mind, body, and spirit to revitalize. Ki energy is abundant in the Universe, is all around us, and is in everything that is living. A Reiki practitioner simply channels this energy and guides it for healing using hands-on, no touch (through hovering or distance) and/or visualization techniques (through the mind's eye).
Reiki is divinely guided, has its own infinite wisdom and intelligence and will always go exactly where it is needed most to help the recipient. Reiki promotes wellbeing by detoxifying the body, increasing natural Ki and safely clearing and releasing negative energy and blockages from the recipient.
Reiki is not limited by space or time, so it is able to be sent and received from a distance and by video.
There are many different types of Reiki and many of them are intention-based, which means the recipient of Reiki can choose specific areas of focus and healing intentions and goals for Reiki to assist and support.
WHAT AN ATTUNEMENT IS
An "Attunement" is a ceremony which connects the recipient of the Attunement to a specific frequency of healing (there are so many healing frequencies!). When the recipient is attuned, that healing frequency can be called upon at any time and for life. During an Attunement, your energy centers and channels get cleansed, strengthened and opened up, making you a clear vessel for which healing energy can flow through. You will be able to channel that specific healing frequency any time you want to by calling upon it, and be able to guide it to specific areas for healing.
Every human being has the ability to heal. To make your healing truly effective, to ensure you are not using your own energy and to ensure you’re using the correct healing frequency, an Attunement is necessary for certain energy healing modalities. It enables you to harness the full power of that specific healing frequency.
In addition to connecting you to a specific healing frequency, an Attunement is also a healing session; it will simultaneously clear out lower vibrational energy, cleanse and strengthen your energy channels, and raise your vibration to a higher frequency of being.
The most important part of receiving an Attunement is intention, the desire to receive the Attunement.
There are various sensations that can arise during an Attunement, which are similar to what can come up during an energy healing session. These include:
-
Temperature changes (hot/cold)
-
Deep relaxation and stillness
-
Tingling or pulsing in your chakras, arms, hands, feet or legs
-
Energy vibrating throughout your body
-
Seeing colors or visions
-
Receiving messages
It is also possible to feel nothing at all! Feeling sensations should not be used to determine that the Attunement is working.
Some recipients get so deeply relaxed that they fall asleep during the Attunement. If the recipient falls asleep, the Higher Self will take over and receive the Attunement on the recipient's behalf.
After an Attunement, some recipients may encounter something called a "Healing Crisis" (a Healing Reaction). Not everyone goes through one and experiencing this event should not be indication that the Attunement has worked or has not worked. As long as you want to receive the Attunement, you will as all of the energy healing modalities I teach are divinely guided. The next section will cover what the Healing Crisis is.
Most people find that you will not need to receive a "Re-Attunement" (receiving the same Attunement you've already received more than 1 time), but there are some that do get re-attuned either once a year, twice a year, or whenever they feel like their connection to that specific healing frequency needs to be strengthened. I recommend trusting your intuition and determining whether a Re-Attunement is necessary for you. If so, you'll have lifetime access to your Attunement video in every course you enroll in with me!
