What is a Reiki Attunement?

A Reiki attunement is a sacred process facilitated by a Reiki Master to empower an individual with the ability to channel Reiki energy. During the attunement, the Reiki Master acts as a liaison to request that the student be prepared by the energy to be able to channel the energy of reiki. In the Holy Fire ® system of reiki the energy works directly with the student thru a direct placement process.

The attunement/placement process is done to initiate the student into the practice of Reiki and to open their energy channels so that they can effectively channel Reiki energy for healing purposes. It is believed that the attunement/placement not only activates the student’s ability to channel Reiki but can also with the student’s permission enhance their spiritual and self-awareness for personal growth.

The attunement/placement is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and its effects will vary from person to person. Some people may experience profound shifts in their energy, emotions, and consciousness during and after the attunement/placement, while others may have more subtle experiences. Overall, the attunement/placement is a powerful initiation into the practice of Reiki and is considered essential for anyone wishing to become a Reiki practitioner. The changes that occur during this process will evolve over time and open the student’s awareness to higher levels of consciousness including being able to feel energy patterns in new deep and profound ways.

During and after a Reiki attunement, various results will occur.
