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.
