When you’re ready, your reiki master will give you reiki attunements. These rituals are a vital part of the reiki training process. They’re HOW you become a clear and open channel for reiki energy to flow in, through and around you.

• Reiki 2 – Attunements further open you up to the reiki life force. They also introduce you to the 5 reiki symbols – power, harmony, distance, mastery, and completion. This is when you begin using reiki to help others.
• Reiki 3 – Attunements expand your connection to universal energy and crown you a reiki master. You can teach reiki yourself after you’ve completed this level of reiki training.

✨ Step 5: Practice Your Reiki

If you’ve completed Reiki 1, you need to use it on yourself for a set number of days. This helps you integrate the energy and increase your sensitivity to it.

Completed Reiki 2?

It’s time to practice reiki on others. You could contribute to reiki classes to refine your skills. Or you could consciously share the energy with your family or friends.

Daily practices of meditation, body scan and hands-on healing help to stablise the reiki energy.

Remember that not everyone is aware of the power of reiki. Some people view it as a woo-woo energy healing practice, even though it’s not.

Scientific studies validate that reiki energy has measurable benefits. That’s why it’s used in some hospitals. One research paper said:

“ Reiki is a safe and gentle complementary therapy that activates the parasympathetic nervous system to heal the body and mind.”
