The Reiki attunements are a ritual that has been passed down from Mikao Usui who named reiki back in 1820. Put simple, it’s a ceremony and prayer that moves the energy from the practitioner into the reiki student through their hands, heart and head.
The attunements also promote a deeper personal well-being and transformation that ‘unlocks’ a tremendous surge in contentment, growth and development for the trainee who wants to learn reiki.
All reiki training workshops are 3 hours long because in this busy world, when people have children and jobs, accessing high quality intensive one to one learning is rare and wonderful. I have always received the highest feedback and gratitude on how ultra distilled this course is from my 13 years of full time practice in reiki healing. I have taken only what is really super helpful and unique to healing into this training and kept out filler exercises, hotel costs, group practicing that takes ages to get through everyone and just followed Dr. Mikao Usui’s original instructions to pass it from palm to palm, teacher to student to unlock the reiki healing energy capabilities.
Students are required to go through a 21 day period after their attunement where they ‘give something up or do something demonstrative everyday’ as a way of showing their gratitude to the universe. Examples others have chosen to respect this exchange, have been giving up chocolate, alcohol, TV or adding in working out everyday, doing a yoga 21 day challenge or keeping a journal for 21 days.
