An Attunement is a sacred process, initiation, and /or meditation with a specific purpose and intent performed by a spiritual master.

The Reiki attunement process is how one becomes a Reiki Healer. Being attuned to Reiki gives one the ability to easily access the Reiki energy (Universal Life Force) for the purpose of healing a person or situation. Only a Reiki Master can give Reiki Attunements.

The attunement can be performed in person, via long distance Reiki, DVD program, phone, etc. Some people feel "in person" attunement is best, while some people feel they receive stronger attunements from other options. It really just depends on your needs, time, and circumstances. It should not matter how a person receives an attunement because it is an individual's decision.

Depending on the type of attunement, when the attunement is given, the Reiki Symbols are placed into your Crown, Heart, and /or Palm Chakras. During attunements, Chakras are opened and cleared. Reiki symbols are activated for use and there is transference of Reiki energy during the attunement. Most importantly, you are connected to the source of Reiki.

What happens to a person during and after an attunement is very unique and can vary from person to person. It can be different each time you receive an attunement. There is no "right" or "wrong" regarding what you experience. It can range from an out-of-body experience or visions to simply a relaxed, warm overall feeling.

During the attunement you may feel heat or experience tingling sensations, see colors, visions, or symbols, hear voices or even experience smells. You might feel energized or some people who are preoccupied with what they are doing at the time it is sent don't feel a thing, but they still receive the Reiki. Each person will have his or her own individual experience. Your experience may be different each time you take the attunement. Sometimes it may be stronger or more powerful than other times. There is no right or wrong experience -- there is only the experience. You may have a subtle shift to a profound shift each time you receive the attunement.
