What exactly is a reiki attunement? It is all about becoming connected with the life force energy of creation.

The word reiki comes from Japanese, (spoken: Ree-Kii) it is the expression for the universal life force energy.

The truth is that reiki is a ancient cure. It was known way back, in the old Sanskrit Sutras. That was about 2500 years ago. Apparently Mikao Usui rediscovered it in the 19th century. Since his re-discovery we now speak of the Usui System of reiki. Learn more about systems like Usui right here: reiki attunement

This is how you give Reiki to oneself or to others:gently lay ones hand on, or slightly above, the body. The giver, or the one who provides the reiki-energy, is the channel for the energy. So through the hand this energy is given to who ever is receiving it.

Reiki is relaxing and pleasant, and works at a physical level. It creates confidence in oneself, and in others on the emotional level. It helps you to be balanced. Helping you to cope with everyday stress better, it works on the mental level too.

Today the new forms of reiki are many. You will find Komyo Kai Reiki, Karuna Reiki or WhiteLight Self-Empowerment. I can’t imagine one system being better than another. I think all the many different forms of reiki will work together well. Learn more right here about the one with the highest vibration: reiki attunement

Most systems normally have one to four degrees of reiki. To initiate you into the energy each degree probably comes with an attunement.

An example of a first degree:

A First Degree

•Learn a basic knowledge about reiki, and hands-on healing method.
•Be instructed about Aura and Chakra.
•“Attunements” this is the initiation into the reiki system energy that will empower you to be a reiki channel.
•After the initiation the reiki energy will flow through your hands, and you will be a reiki practitioner (healer).
