If you have heard the term reiki attunements and are pondering what that suggests, this brief piece will give you a concept. Reiki attunements are the method of how you become a reiki specialist. Being attuned to reiki after the reiki attunements means you then has the permanent capability to simply access the universal life force or reiki.

You access this life force (energy) as a way to help others heal. Reiki attunements can be given only by a Reiki master. There are plenty of self-help books on the market today that say you can give yourself reiki attunements. That will be so, but you have got to question if reading a book and making an attempt to chant some words without the help of someone that is well informed about reiki actually does work.

Reiki attunements have to be done with respect and care, and in a certain order. These things aren’t always enunciated in a book. You be the judge of that after you have finished your research about reiki attunements. The reiki attunements process is actually a party of spirit yours, the reiki Master’s and Spirit with a capital S – the Spirit from whom the universal life force energy flows. In the reiki attunements rite, the reiki Master uses the acceptable Reiki symbols and other gestures in a certain prescribed way. What this does is creates an energy pattern around you of the attunement which attunes YOUR energy field to the energies that are represented by the symbols. Once the attunements process / rite is done, you are permanently attuned to the universal life force energy, which makes you a reiki expert. Here’s a fast, though not complete, outline of what the reiki master does to attune you. First they ground and center themselves and teach the coed to do the same. Tell them to expect almost anything when the attunement is finished. The Master then stands in front of you holding their hands up high at shoulder height with palms facing forward. The Master will circle you once and then stand behind you. The ceremony has 2 halves one done behind you and one in front. The Master raises her left palm to put it next to your head and with the right hand draws the suitable symbols over your crown.

The Master then goes to the front of you and takes your hands between their own and draws the symbols over the hands (chanting the names of each 3 times). They visualise the master symbol in violet and gently blow twice from the base chakra to the crown chakra, and gently touch the 3rd eye (forehead).

While at the forehead the symbols are drawn once more with the chanting. Your hands are gradually separated and the master symbol is visualised again together with the mild blowing from base to crown chakras. This article is meant to just give you a couple of the fundamentals of attunements.

If you want more information on the attunement rite, you’ll find it online or by asking an authorized reiki Master.
