Ideal Time Between Reiki Attunements

Dear Readers,

Hope you enjoyed reading my last post on 'How to increase your intuition with Reiki?' Today I am going to share with you the purpose of the gap between Reiki attunements.

If you don't know what is Reiki Attunement, the read this article first: What is Reiki Attunement?

As you are aware, once you complete your Reiki first degree course you are told to practice Reiki for 21 days or observe a 21 day cleansing period. There are multiple purposes behind this:

1. When you learn something new its important to allow some time so that you get comfortable doing the new activity.
2. During these 21 days your body goes through a cleansing process, during which toxins are released and your chakras get cleaned, balanced and energized.
3. During this period you accommodate the new spiritual practice in your daily life so that you can continue to practice Reiki and get more and more benefit from it with the passage of time.
4. With this 21 days you form a new habit. This is the reason why it is important. This is the spiritual discipline. This is the beginning of your journey.

When you understand the purpose behind something, things become clear. We are not rigid with the number 21. The underlying intention is to help you form a new habit. So if you are able to make Reiki a part of your daily life before 21 days, that would be even better, isn't it?

How to do a 21 day Reiki practice after Reiki level 1

• Start with a recitation of the Reiki principles two times a day. There is a beautiful video of the Reiki five principles. It is a guided meditation which can listen with stereo headphones for the next 21 days. If you do this consistently you might be able to recite the Reiki principles in Japanese as well after 21 days. You will love it.

• Then proceed to healing of the seven chakras with your hands. If you if you wish you can download the guided meditation for 7 chakra healing from this Reiki  meditation Telegram group
• At the end of each day write down your experiences of the day in a diary or a journal. Write down five things for which you are grateful for today. Write down your experiences, coincidences or surprises that you are very experienced, your dominant feeling of the day, the sensation of vibration we experience while doing healing to sell for others,
• Drink lots of water. Eat fruits and drink juices throughout the day. Include a lot of RAW food in your meals. Include a green smoothie in your diet.
• Some hand Mudras can be very helpful when used in combination with Reiki. Check my Mudra Therapy course for Reiki practitioners for more details.
  
• Charge your food and water with Reiki so that it nourishes you physically as well as spiritually.

Most of the students are so regular in their practice because they feel very positive after doing Reiki. Many students feel like jumping to the next level of Reiki. They are wondering 'if Reiki 1 is so powerful, how would life be after Reiki 2?' The excitement keeps building. Most students are so excited by the time their Reiki second degree course is due.

If they have had good practice they teacher will allow the student to go to the next level. It is up to the teacher to decide when the student is ready for the next level in Reiki. In some cases the teacher may recommends some more practice, student should just follow it.

Some students go into a pitfall. They try to 'be perfect' in their practice of Reiki first degree. Nobody can be perfect. After a reasonable amount of practice one should move on to the next levels of Reiki because you are introduced to more tools and techniques in second and third degree of Reiki. And the Reiki training is incomplete till the student completes Reiki 3A.

Its important to learn new skills, practice those skills and more ahead to learn new skills. This is as true in Reiki as in life, isn't it?

As you can see in the picture, I recommend a gap of 21 days between Reiki level 1, 2 & 3 for practicing Reiki on self and others. This I feel is the ideal time between Reiki Attunements.

Some Reiki Masters recommend a longer period of practice between attunements. I think 21 days is more than enough but if someone recommends more than that, it will be for a good reason that the teacher knows better. In any case, there is no harm in practicing Reiki for more number of days.

So if your Reiki Master wants you to practice more than 21 days before you move to the next level you should follow his/her instructions. There is no harm.

A person learns Reiki by the grace of Reiki Energy

Each of us is guided by Reiki Energy intuitively to a Reiki Master. The teacher knows what is good for you and when you are ready for the next level. As a Reiki teacher I follow the general rule of 21 days unless I find someone with special needs. I am sensitive to the needs of the students because I feel each individual is different. As Reiki Teachers we must understand the needs of each and every individual.

I don't recommend taking short cuts. I don't recommend attempting to be perfect. I recommend 21 days of practice as a general rule and more than that I recommend making Reiki practice a part of your life for the rest of your life.

Now let me present you a case study. Let me know your thoughts on this topic..

Recently, one of my student wanted to proceed to second degree of Reiki after practicing daily for 2 weeks. In fact, he was practicing 2 times daily, morning and evening. Is he clear about the principle behind the 21 day rule? Should I ask him to complete 21 days and then go for Reiki level 2? Should I teach him Reiki 2? What do you think I should do in such a case? Please leave a comment below...

What is Reiki Attunement?

Importance of Reiki Attunement

Reiki Attunement, as the word signifies, is your introduction with Reiki, the Universal Energy. You may say it as an initiation into learning the Reiki healing process. You can also say, it as your admission into the spiritual world of Reiki. When you will receive the Reiki Attunment, Reiki will start flowing through your body and calm your mind and enliven your spirit.

It is during Reiki attunement that the flood gates of Reiki energy are opened. This is an initiation into Reiki. It is done primarily to open up your crown, heart and palm chakras to allow the Universal energy of Reiki to flow through you. The Reiki Attunement helps you to rediscover and expand your inborn healing abilities.



Reiki attunement is significant because during the attunement process your connection with Reiki will be established or increased and you will be more in tune with the universal energy of Reiki. 

Attunement is a process to boost your sensitivity to enable you to feel the universal healing energy more deeply and easily. This attunement process will make you much more efficient in using this energy in a meaningful way to reach the goals of your life.

Eligibility for Reiki Attunement

For the Reiki Attunement you need not to have any special knowledge on Reiki. Any body who is in their teens or beyond is eligible for it. 

Reiki Attunemnets are given by the Reiki instructor or the Reiki Master. There are 3 formal levels of Reiki Attunements for beginners. These beginner Reiki levels are very easy to learn under the guidance of experienced teachers. You will feel relaxed while learning Reiki in the Reiki classes.


Levels of Reiki Attunements

• Reiki Level 1 Attunement: In this level you will be permanently get connected with the Reiki source, the healing energy of the Universal. After the initiation you will be able to perform healing on yourself or on others. You can flow the Universal energy through yourself by simply placing your hands and opening your heart to recieve Reiki. This first level of Reiki Attunment is the foundation for other two beginner levels of Reiki. You can start the next level when you will complete your 21 days of practice on this level. This first level deals with the physical healing of self and others.
• Reiki Level 2 Attunement: This level deals with the emotional and mental healing. In this level you will get the chance to be deeply connected with the Universal energy and heal at mental and emotional level. Here you will learn to direct the Reiki energy to travel across any distance and time to heal the emotional and mental issues of any living being, anywhere on this planet. In this level you can practise to send the Reiki energy for healing your family, friends and even animals from a distance. You will learn how to use specific Reiki symbols for specific purposes.
• Reiki Level 3 Attunement: Before entering to this level you must complete and level 2 of Reiki. The full potential of Reiki energy is unlocked while entering to this level. In this level you will be able to perform Reiki healing on spiritual level to anyone who needs it. This level 3 is also known as level 3A or the master level in some countries. This completes your basic course in Reiki. After this those who have mastered healing and those who want to teach Reiki to others with the intention to helping others can apply for Reiki Master Teacher level or Reiki level 3B.

How to do Aura Cleansing with Reiki

What is Aura?

Aura is the energy field surrounding any object or person. This energy field is created by the energy centers of the body known as the Chakras. 

The energy field is strengthened when we give Reiki healing to ourselves or others. When someone is sick this energy field is weak. 

Our thoughts and emotions as well as the Aura of other people around us effect our energy field.

What is Aura Cleansing?

Aura cleansing is way of removing the negative energy from ones aura. The outer aura of a person extends 10 or more feet but the inner aura is very thin, up to 4 inches from your body. 

Some people can see this aura with naked eye and this ability can be developed with training and practice. But more important that seeing the aura is cleaning it from the effects of negative thoughts and emotions.

Why do Aura Cleansing?

• Our aura extends far beyond our physical body. The healthier you are the further it can extend. It can go upto 25 meters and even more in some cases. 
• Your aura mixes with the aura of other people, some of whom might be carrying negative energy due to their negative thoughts and emotions. 
• There are places we visit where there is a negative charge. You feel dull or depleated of energry when you go to such places. You have to clean your aura after coming home in such cases otherwise you might end be up being, angry, upset or depressed.
• There are places where we feel peaceful such as a temple, this is because of the positive energy that place emits. 
• We also visit crowded places where there are many people like shopping malls, public transport, movie theaters, etc. Our aura gets mixed with other auras and may catch some negative energy from other peoples aura. Due to this negative energy you may feel tired at the end of the day. This needs to be cleaned. 
• We eat food outside, the people who make this food may be having negative thoughts or emotions like anxiety, insecurity, depression, etc. which enters the food and when we eat that it enters our body. If you cant avoid it, you can at least give yourself a Reiki energy cleanse at the end of the day.
• So there are many ways our aura gets contaminated, so it is important to clean our aura morning and evening with Reiki energy.

Reiki for Aura Cleansing

Its important to give Reiki to yourself for cleaning your Aura. When you are charged with Reiki, you are full of energy and you can easily remove negativity on the surface of your aura. 

The same is true when you are cleaning the aura of someone else. Once you energize yourself you are ready to clean your aura. It is very simple and anyone can do it.

Reiki Aura Cleansing Process

• Place both your palms on your forehead in the form of a cup at a distance of 1 inch or so. 
• While exhaling move them downwards with the intention that the negative energy is being grounded. 
• When your hand reaches your feet, place them on the ground and let them stay there for 1-2 minutes till you feel that the energy has been absorbed by Earth. 
• Do this 7 times and then wash your hands in running water.

Aura Cleansing with Rock Salt

Once a week follow this Process of Aura Cleansing

• Take some rock salt in your hand make 7 passes from your forehead to the tips of your toes 
• Have the intention that all negative energies will be absorbed by the rock salt. 
• Once this is done throw the rock salt in the sink 
• Finally, wash your hands in running water. 

Quick way to do Reiki Aura Cleansing

If you do not have time or if you surrounded with people you can make use of this process. 

• Stand up and activate Reiki and let Reiki energy flow through you like a shower or rain. 
• Have a intention that all negative energy is being absorbed and transformed by mother Earth. 
• Once this is complete let the Reiki energy flow for some more time 
• Let mother Earth receive some pure Reiki energy through you 
• Thank and complete the process.

Guided Meditation for Aura Cleansing

Below is the link where you can download the Guided Meditation for Aura Cleansing. This is channel is for all Reiki practitioners and students of Nalanda Reiki Center. You will get other interesting information on Reiki workshops from time to time.

• Reiki Telegram Group

Once you are attuned to at lease first degree of Reiki, all the above processes will work powerfully for you. Even if you have not learnt Reiki this will work to some extent. But it works much better when you learn Reiki yourself. 

There are so many benefits that you can get by learning Reiki. At Nalanda Reiki Center we conduct Reiki courses online and offline in many cities, just send me a mail to schedule a one to one session with you on WhatsApp on 9820850475.

How To Do A Reiki Massage

What is a Reiki Massage?

Reiki massage is a Energy Massage. Reiki Practitioners and Massage therapists who have learnt Reiki offer Reiki massage to their clients. If you have completed Reiki Second Degree or Reiki Third Degree you can easily give Reiki massage to anyone. Reiki massage is very different from other types of massages.

Reiki massage is Reiki healing at the level of muscles, tissues and cells in your body. Essentially, in a Reiki massage we align our-self with the Universal Life Force Energy - Reiki and direct the flow of the Reiki energy to the cells, tissues and muscles.

Reiki energy is sent with the intention of releasing stress and relaxing the body. Reiki symbols are installed into different part of the body for releasing stress. All this is done without giving any physical pressure.

The reason why traditional massage therapists are learning Reiki and incorporate Reiki massage in their offerings is because this kind of massage is very soothing, relaxing and refreshing. Clients who experience this once come back for more and recommend them to others too.

While giving Reiki massage the person can be fully clothed because there is no need to apply pressure on the body. A gentle touch and the soothing flow of Reiki Energy puts the person into a deep state of relaxation. (Reiki massage can also be done without touching.)

Combined with a gentle hands-on touch healing, the Reiki symbols are used like a lazer to focus on various organs and body parts. This focused Reiki energy can be a powerful way of releasing stress and filling the gaps of energy in the body.

Benefits of Reiki Massage

An hour of Reiki Massage can help you in releasing tons of accumulated stress and can energies your body at cellular level in unimaginable ways. Your daily Reiki self treatment helps you dissolve the daily stress and allows you to stay healthy and prevent illnesses. But with Reiki Massage there is a deep cleansing that takes place.

Stress due past experiences will be released, making you light, free and open, to experience a new phase in your life. Reiki massage can take an hour or more and it is best done by someone who has completed Reiki Level 2 or 3. When done by an experience Reiki Master it can transform your life and make you a new person.

Reiki massage can start from your feet, all the way up to your head and each body part on the way up is placed in a deep state of relaxation. The person taking the Reiki massage will experience various sensation and might feel warm or feel as if something is dissolving or something is evaporating from the body.

For the person giving the Reiki massage it is equally rewarding experience because in Reiki the Universal Life Force Energy flows through you so the more Reiki you give to others the more you benefit. This is one more reason why many Massage Therapists are practicing Reiki and recommending Reiki massage to their clients.

To do a Reiki massage you have to at least complete Reiki second degree, then you can do Reiki massage for your loved ones and have them (if they have completed Reiki level 2) do it for you at home. Even if you do Reiki massage once a month it can be a refreshing experience and can leave you energized and healed a very deep levels.

Giving and receiving Reiki massage can transform a person as deep issues may get resolved automatically at a subconscious level. It is an experience that can open your heart and nurture your cells to be more creative, free, open and full of love. For some it may be a good way to renew yourself.

A 60 Minute long Reiki Massage can have such a calming and relaxing effect on you that it can leave you energized for one full year. Reiki massage is a wonderful way to forget everything else and just enjoy your being and renew yourself for something big.

You take a Reiki massage when you want to start something new in your life or a new phase in life or you can choose to make it a regular monthly activity to stay at the peak of health, vitality and creativity.
