What is a Reiki Attunement and how does it work ?
Reiki is not taught in the way other healing techniques are taught. It is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master during an attunement process. The attunement expands the main energy channels of the student's body, allowing universal energy, also known as Qi/Chi/Ki, to flow more freely and deeply. This process also opens the crown, spiritual eye, heart, feet and palm chakras and creates a special link between the student and the Reiki source.
The Chakra energy and energy body of the student increases in vibrational rate after the attunement, allowing for a new, elevated baseline vibrational rate. This increase of vibration is necessary to allow for a smooth flow of high vibrational Reiki energy through the practitioner's body and hands. Generally speaking, once you have been attuned you will always have access to the universal energy. Even if you stop using it for several months or even years, the moment you feel the need to use it again, it will be there as effective as it was when you were first attuned.
The Reiki attunement can start a cleansing process that affects the physical body as well as the mind and emotions. Toxins that have been stored in the body may be released along with feelings and thought patterns that are no longer useful. As a result, this can create significant energy changes within the individual and many will undergo an intense period of self-growth. Everyone experiences their own unique reaction to the cleansing period. No two attunements are ever the same and the length of this cleansing period will be dependent on what level of Reiki you are being attuned to.
The following are a list of reiki attunement side effects:
An increase in intuitive awareness
Vibrations
A release of Negative Emotions
Changes in food preference
Highs & Lows of energy levels
Emotional Swings in Mood
Heightened connection to those around you
Heightened Empathy
Headaches or Head rushes
Deeper levels of understanding
The most important thing to take from this is that there are NO LASTING NEGATIVE Reiki attunement side effects. All effects you feel are aiding your body and mind and allowing your to grow as a spiritual person.
As there are over 1200 different Reiki modalities in the world today, that means that there are 1200+ different attunements available. That being said, most students typically start with Traditional Reiki, also knows as Usui Reiki, and the Usui Reiki attunement/attunements.
WHY REIKI HEALING IS EFFECTIVE FOR DEPRESSION & ANXIETY
Many individuals who are either suffering through depression or anxiety tend to rely on some form of medication. However, there is a growing number of people who are becoming aware of the fact that depression and anxiety can be cured without the use of anti-psychotics. Depression and anxiety need to be understood as energy imbalances rather than a mental disorder. Thus, in order to cure depression or anxiety, it’s critically important to treat the imbalanced energy and the behavior and mindset that proliferates the imbalance.
