Attunement is the process by which the Master opens the initiate's crown, heart and palm chakras along with their third eye and throat chakras to pass on the technique of Reiki to the initiate and forge a link between the everlasting Universal Energy and the recipient. Reiki Attunement is an extremely spiritual experience by responding to the voice of the Divine Spirit within. You are attuning yourself with the energies of the Universe and releasing your intention to the Universe to be a healer and a medium to channel the positive vibrations of Light and Love.

An attunement makes a person more psychically sensitive and facilitates the channeling of greater amounts of Reiki energy.

After the Attunement all the natural centers of energy in the body star to vibrate at very high frequencies and open the recipient to a field of Higher Consciousness and sensitize the initiate to messages from Reiki spirit guides and angels during the process of Attunement. An attunement is a life long gift that can never be lost or diminish; it is always contained in the heart and spirit of the recipient as a gift of love, life and laughter. And this gift keeps multiplying each and every time you channelise Reiki energy and spread Love and attune yourself with the Higher Powers.

The very process of attunement is not long and tedious as some may believe. In fact an attunement lasts only a few minutes and can only be performed by Masters. Some Masters may ask the recipient to remove all jewelry, metallic objects and shoes; this is done because of the belief that metals interfere with the channeling of energy and the recipient will be more grounded with bare feet but this is strictly a matter of choice and may differ with different Masters. Drinking water after the attunement is also said to act as a way of grounding and release any toxins from the physical body. Attunements can also be carried out in a remote manner. There are many different procedures for attuanemnt because a Master is guided by intuition as to hat the recipient needs rather than stick to a rigid ritual. Hui Yin and the Violet Breath are also Reiki techniques that are used by many as they are believed to heighten the power of the attunement.

An important thing to note for the initiated is that today there are various different branches of Reiki and each Master will offer something different based on his experience and expertise. You can start to combine different healing systems like aromatherapy, crystal therapy and the like with Reiki to give the energy a boost. It is not necessary that your own healing has to be the same as the Master who has initiated you. Reiki is an extremely personal art and each and every individual is unique.

After receiving the reiki attunement you are going to be part of the Reiki Family, this family consists of all the healers and Reiki practitioners around the world who are trying to spread light and love in this world.
