Pre-Attunement Meditation

You may find it useful to practice this meditation a few


times before it is time for your distant Attunement.

Make yourself comfortable either in a meditative position


on a chair or lying on the floor.

Relax your body. Take several deep, slow breaths, feeling


the air move not only through the lungs but also but
through to your stomach.

 Concentrate on the first chakra at the base of your


spine: The Root chakra, Muladhara. Draw energy
from the Earth up to this chakra. Picture the chakra
as a kind of “wheel” in a deep red colour. Draw in
the Earth’s energy and feel the pulse or vibration of
the energy. Picture the wheel starting to spin in a
clockwise direction. (You may alternatively like to
picture it as a flower blossoming) as it is filled with
the beautiful Sacred Earth energy.

 Now let the Earth’s energy move up to you’re second


chakra, the Sacral or Sexual chakra, svadhisthana,
which is just above the pubic bone. Picture it as a
beautiful bright orange, picture the chakra absorbing
the energy and beginning to spin or blossom.

 Move to the next chakra, the Solar Plexus, Manipura,


Fill this area with beautiful energy and see the chakra
blossom the most beautiful and brightest yellow.

 Now let the energy fill the Heart Chakra, anahata,
Picture the chakra blossom the purest green the
earth could bestow. Bask in the energy for a while,
feel the love as the chakra is revitalised.

 When you are ready move up to the throat chakra,


vishudda, and picture a blossoming or spin of the
most purest blue – like the colour of a beautiful ocean
on a summer’s day – take pleasure in the
revitalisation of the chakra.

 Let the Earth’s energy move up to the third eye


chakra, Ajna, – feel it tingle as the energy revitalises
this chakra, picture the blossoming in deepest indigo.

 Finally, let the Earth energy rise to your crown


chakra, Sahasrara, feel the tingling sensation and
picture the chakra blossoming in beautiful purples
and violets. Now draw the pure white light from the
universe, you are one with the universe – the
environment and yourself, draw the universal energy,
the Attunement energy, draw it down through your
chakras, intensifying their colours, bask in the energy
– feel the loving light and revitalising energy.

When you are ready, slowly close your Crown and Root
Chakras. Do this by visualising these chakras slowing
down their spin, or the petals of the flower closing up
sealing in the beautiful Attunement energy, picture all the
chakras one by one gradually return to their original
glowing state.

Take three deep revitalising breaths before slowly


returning to the room.

On the Day/Time of Your Distant Attunement…

Please make sure you will be undisturbed for at least one


hour, maybe longer. You will want to be comfortable and
relaxed, so if it helps you can arrange the room as you
wish.

If you are too cool you will not relax properly, and if you
are too warm you may fall asleep as you relax (the
Attunement would still work if you did, but you may prefer
to be aware during the process).

You may like to light a candle and some incense if it helps


you to relax and set a spiritual atmosphere, but it is not
essential to do this. The candle flame may represent the
light of knowledge and truth that banishes the darkness of
ignorance; and the incense creates a higher vibration of
energy in the room you are working in.

Some people like to have a picture of Dr Usui nearby to


remind them of where Reiki has come from and that they
are about to become another link in the chain of Masters
and Students that reaches back to Dr Usui himself. I have
included a picture at the end for you.

It is best to approach Attunement with an open mind and


few expectations because each Attunement experience is
unique. Some people do experience feelings of light,
energy, peace, loving presence, or even spiritual visions.
Some experience none of this but feel pleasant warmth in
their body or hands. Others experience nothing until a
few days later, or until they begin to do healing
treatments.

You may prepare for your distant Attunement by relaxing


each part of your body in turn, beginning with your feet
and working up your body to the top of your head. As you
breathe naturally, be aware of any tension in your body as
you breathe in, and let go of that tension as you breathe
out. Feel the tensions relaxing and your muscles turning
loose.

You may like to do the Chakra meditation described


above, just before the time arranged for your distant
Attunement, and then simply relax, and enjoy the peaceful
feeling. Be open and receptive at this point, without
expectations; just “let it be.”

The actual Attunement process will take about half an
hour. Immediately afterwards you should give yourself a
self-treatment (refer to the manual if you haven’t already).
You may or may not feel your hands grow warm at this
point. Many people do feel the energy immediately and
heat builds in your body: but for some people it gets
stronger with practice.

Afterwards, you may like to email me and let me know


how you experienced your Attunement. I am always
interested to know, and you are always welcome to ask
further questions.

Detox Symptoms.

Attunements achieve several things. It opens your energy


pathways, clears energy blockages, and routes the flow of
life-force energy so it passes through your palm-Chakras.
This happens at four levels…first the spiritual level, then
the mental level, then the emotional level and finally the
physical level.

At the same time, many people believe there is a


“grounding” of negative karmic energy that happens. This
is because you cannot hold a pure energy like Reiki if you
are vibrating at a lower energy level, and negative Karma
holds your energy vibrations at a lower frequency. Karmic
energy is “grounded” through the link with the Reiki
Master at the time of your Attunement. The Reiki Master
does not “take away” negative karma and often is not
aware of the process themselves, but karmic energy is
dispersed in return for your commitment to become a
healer and a channel for the healing power of the
universe. This does not mean that you no longer have to
learn karmic lessons in the future, but it does mean that
you become more aware of how your words and actions
affect other people, and you more often think before you
speak or act in future.

As energy blockages are cleared, and karmic energy


grounded, your body, emotions, mind and spirit need to

4
let go of, or expel, different kinds of toxins. You may
experience some “detox” sympt6oms as a result of this.

Most common detox symptoms include temporary minor


head cold, headache, general aches and pains, or even
nausea. These symptoms usually pass very quickly (a
matter of minutes, or a couple of hours, but can be a few
days for some people). Some people do not seem to
experience detox symptoms at all, but later realise that
they had different reactions to those described.

Detox can also occur at the emotional, mental and


spiritual levels. You may find yourself remembering past
events so you can look at them differently form a new
perspective. You might find yourself having a mental
“clear out” and rearranging areas of your life, making
decisions you have been putting off etc. Some also find
new spiritual interests opening up, or fresh experiences
that were not possible before.

Generally speaking, people often experience more


“physical” type detox symptoms at Reiki Level One; more
“mental & emotional” detox symptoms at Reiki level two;
and more “spiritual” type detox symptoms occur at Reiki
Level Three (Master Level).

Dealing with detox can be annoying, but it is a necessary


part of “clearing out” your energy systems so that you
become a pure channel for Reiki energy. Strictly speaking
detox can take up to 21 days because at the time of your
Attunement, your Crown Chakra is opened to receive the
energy, and for the following 21 days the energy cascades
down through each of the seven Chakras (generally
resting at the level of each Chakra for about three days;
hence 21 days in total).

The best way to deal with any detox symptoms is to drink


plenty of clean fresh, spring water, and do daily self-
treatments. I you have a headache or nausea, drink hot
water. If you feel thirsty drink cool water. A little lemon
juice in the water helps the liver and kidneys. A little
honey gives energy. A few drops of ginger extract can

5
calm any feelings of nausea (ginger is great for travel
sickness too!). At this time, ginseng tea is also useful as it
has a beneficial effect on the body’s Chi energy.

Relaxing warm baths with soothing essential oils are also


great, with a little sea salt in the water to help cleanse
your aura even further.

I do not want to worry you with all this talk of detox


symptoms. Some people never have this, but some do, so
I have to mention it. On the whole, most people find
Attunements to be enjoyable, even spiritual experiences
that at worst leave them feeling a little more thirsty than
usual afterwards.

Daily Practice

For at least 21 days following your Attunement you should


give yourself daily self-treatments. You can also start to
do informal treatments for family, friend’s etc if you feel
confident enough, and as long as you don’t force it on
anyone.

Final Thought

Along with the manual, I hope this information gives you


all you need to prepare for, and get the most out of, your
Reiki Attunement. If you have any questions before your
Attunement, do get in touch.
