A Reiki attunement is an initiation to open up crown, heart, and palm chakras to allow Reiki energies to flow through. A period of purification before the attunement is suggested to aid this process.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: varies
Here's How:
- Take special care in selecting your Reiki instructor.
- Schedule your class date at least one week in advance.
- Eliminate (or reduce) intake of meat, fowl, or fish from your diet 3 days prior to your class date.
- Consider doing a water or juice fast for 1 to 3 days prior to the attunement.
- Consume no alcohol for at least 3 days prior to the attunement.
- If you are on any type of medication continue to take it as prescribed prior to and on the day of attunement.
- Smokers should take care to smoke as little as possible for the day prior to the class date and on the day of the attunement.
- Avoid outside stimulation (tv, radio, computers, newspapers).
- Find moments (hours) of solitude. Meditation and spending time with nature (walks, sitting beside streams, etc.)
- Be gentle with yourself. Don't tackle any tasks that will deplete your energies.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Cleanse your aura prior to class.
- Get a good night's rest the evening before your class. In the morning if you are not fasting, eat a light healthy breakfast.
Tips:
- Daily prayers / connection with your inner guidance is recommended during this period.
- Be prepared for a 21 day cleansing period following the attunement process.
- If you are in a doctor's care you may wish to have him/her re-evaluate dosages of medicines being used after the 21 day purging/balancing period.
- If you are traveling to a distant town for your attunement consider that you may not feel up to driving home. Have an alternate plan to stay overnight at a motel.
