Prepare for your Reiki Attunement

A Reiki attunement is a ceremony that connects you to the unlimited source of Reiki energy.  A Reiki attunement will clear energetic blockages and allow for energy to flow through your body promoting physical, mental and emotional healing.

During the attunement, life force energy in the form of higher consciousness attunes your energetic and physical bodies to create the vessel for which Reiki will channel through you. When you receive an attunement, your energy field expands allowing you to tap into a deeper spiritual awareness within yourself.

Each level of Reiki includes an attunement where you’ll receive a deeper level of healing and access to Reiki energy. 

It is the start of a spiritual path in which you can channel reiki energy to heal yourself and others, and in doing so you expand your own aura. The ceremony also marks the acknowledgement that you accept this healing and are committed to working on raising your own vibration.

  To help you prepare for your attunement, avoid the following three days prior to your training.

1. Eliminate or greatly reduce your intake of meat and dairy. The reason behind this is animal products take more energy for our bodies to digest and when practicing healing we want our body’s energy to be fully available for channeling. 
2. Do not drink alcohol. Alcohol affects the nervous system and should be avoided.
3. Reduce the amount of cigarettes you smoke, if you are a smoker. This will help your body be in a healthier state for spiritual work and cleansing.
4. Avoid excessive stimulation from television, internet and smartphones.
5. Reduce  or eliminate your consumption of caffeine as this affects your nervous system.  
6. Do not engage in activities that deplete your energy. You will know best what these activities are for you.

Try doing the following activities to improve your experience the day of your training. Begin three to five days prior.

1. Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated. You will be surprised how much energy you will use the day of your training. Stay hydrated to keep yourself feeling balanced.
2. If you are on medications prescribed by your doctor, continue to take them.
3. Eat whole plant-based foods. Whole foods offer the highest amount of energy and nutrients for your body. They are also high in vibrational energy making it ideal for energy work.
4. Mediate. Find 5-20 minutes each day to meditate in silence and be in nature.
5. Get restful sleep. Sleeping well will help reduce fatigue and tiredness allowing you to have energy and be fully present for your attunement.
6. Eat healthy meals the day of your training. You’ll have a big day ahead of you and will need the energy.

Your attunement is the beginning of a 21-day spiritual cleanse. During this time, you may have emotional releases such as laughter and crying to feelings of anger and frustration. The emotions you may experience will vary depending on what you need to release. The effects may also be more subtle. Know that no matter what you experience, it is all part of the process of self-healing.

Be gentle with yourself and do activities that recharge your energy and nourish your body. For instance, take warm baths with essential oils, get a massage, pamper yourself or spend the day at the beach or park. This is a time to reflect and surrender. Embrace the process.

Reiki self healing will continue to occur after the attunement. Perform daily gassho meditation and self reiki for the next 21 days. These exercises will assist you with your spiritual cleanse, developing intuition and prepare you to channel reiki healing.
