What are Reiki Attunements?
The dictionary defines attune as to “bring into harmony”
So, the Reiki attunements are the way in which the Reiki master helps you to open your Chakras to create a channel in order to allow the Reiki to flow through you, entering via the crown Chakra and flowing through the brow, throat and heart Chakras, before being channelled down your arms and out of your hands.
It is traditional to give four attunements in Reiki first degree.
- Emotions: Attunes the heart, thymus and heart Chakra.
- Communication: Attunes the thyroid and throat Chakra.
- Intuition: Attunes pituitary gland, brow/third eye Chakra.
- Spiritual: Attunes pineal gland and crown Chakra, connecting with the spiritual consciousness and selling the Reiki channel open.
Reiki attunement is a sacred and spiritual process which, is carried out in silence, except for some soft background music; with the students eyes closed their hands held in the prayer position, in front of their heart Chakra. The Reiki Master indicates at which point you should rais your hands above your head. You may feel some gentle touching around your head and hands during the attunement.
