hello there,
just writing to say that i had my reiki I yesterday and was attuned - and actually feel really tired this morning.
we were, attuned twice and i have to admit that the first time i was very disapointed in myself as i didnt feel a thing. and thought that i wouldnt be very good at it. then on the second attunment, i felt a bit emotional and that was all, until we had finished and we were all chatting and then all of a sudden me and this other girl just burst into tears for no reason what so ever!!!!! it was so strange! - and i will feel a little sad today! but the reiki master put my mind at rest as she said the reiki took well to me.
i dont feel that much different today, just that the palms of my hands are warm and my fingers are cold. i tried it on my bloke last nite as he has a bad knee so i did it (and i dont think he believed it would work) but he felt it! so that made me feel much better.
on my 21 detox now.
dont really know how i feel about it really. feel quite sad, is that normal?

Hi Sarah
Congratulations on your attunement and welcome to the Reiki Family.
Anything you feel is right for you! Don't worry, keep up the self treatments and enjoy. 🙂

H Sarah, congratulations on your Reiki Attunement 😀 don't be too disheartened when you have done some more healing you will feel more positive.;)

Hi Sarah
Well done on your attunement! 😀
I am on Day 15 of Self Healing. I wasn't sure how to feel after either - but the more I practice the more I can feel it!
Good Luck

Heya Sarah,
Congratulations and welcome to the family. 😀
I'm on day.... let me work it out..... 72 of my self healing... he he. The 21 day thing is a bit of a myth. It depends on the individual how long the detox lasts for. If you're already a healthy person who eats in such a way that your body is pretty much detox'd anyway, then you wouldn't notice the effects as much as someone who really needs a detox.
Also there's the emotional detox. Seems like you felt a bit of that starting during your attunement, but you'll find if you keep self healing every day then it can help you bring issues to the surface and deal with them.
Everyone feels the attunements differently. Some people will feel nothing, while others will feel emotional or see colours etc. On one of my attunements it felt as if the Master had put a red hot iron on my scalp, but somehow I knew it wasn't going to hurt me.
Enjoy your new gift, practice and experiment (my cat loves it!). This is the start of your journey.
Love and Reiki Hugz

Hi Sarah,
Congratulations on your attunement and welcome to Reiki!
Remember the Reiki principle of Just for today, do not worry. However you experience things is just perfect for you. Keep with the self-healing and it will all be fine. Hope you feel cheerier soon tho'!
RE: had my attunments!
They've said it all, Sarah.
Don't worry!
Keep practising!
Welcome to the Reiki Family!
I received Reiki 1 in 1996 and I'm still detoxing:D:D:D. It never ends - there always seems to be something that needs clearing!;)
Above all - DON'T WORRY - you have Reiki and the ability to use it.
RE: had my attunments!
Welcome Sarah from me too. Remember everyone is different and there are no 'should's' in Reiki. Each individual's experience is unique to them so try not to compare yourself to others. What I do know for a fact is the more you use Reiki the stronger it becomes and if you trust your instincts when using it then you won't go wrong. It is very hard when you are 'new' to believe that this simple technique CAN work and to look to others to verify this! Seven years on I am still constanly amazed at what Reiki can do and I hope that will never stop.
Have fun with your gift because it can only be a positive force in your life.
Love and light

RE: had my attunments!
Thank you all for your welcomes, it feels very nice to be part of something.
i tried the self healing last nite, and i know i have only just been attuned, but i felt nothing! i think im just worrying for nothing and i know with practice that it will get better, but i think i just want someone to put my mind at rest that it is ok to feel nothing at the beginning??????????????? it is isnt it?
and just for today i will not worry.
thanks again for all your warm welcomes.

Then let me be the person to put your mind at rest. I'm finding that the more I self heal the stronger the energy is becoming for myself. Other people I treat feel different things. My partner doesn't really feel any energy flowing at all, but she notices the effects as she feels a lot better afterwards.
I'm sure if Gussie sees your post she'll tell you that she doesn't do the self healing cos every time she's done it she hasn't felt anything so she concentrates on meditation instead. (She was attuned oooo... at least a year ago I think). But I can assure you she definitely has the energy there, I've felt it and it's strong, so just because she doesn't feel it on herself doesn't mean she hasn't got it.
Don't let it worry you. *Hugz* 🙂

RE: had my attunments!
Way to go Sarah!
Can only echo everything that's been said before. People are all different. People who are attuned to Reiki are all different and how they perceive the enegry differs too.
Some of my students feel very little themselves, but are certainly connected!
Try not to worry about it. Play with the idea that something invisible to you eyes is pouring from your hands and find out how the energy works for you. Where are you picking up sensations. In your hands? In your fingers? Is it an emotional reaction? Do you see images when it flows? Most importantly practise! practise! practise! It's the only way to get to the Carneigie Hall afterall:D
Have a great journey,
Pete
RE: had my attunments!
Hi Sarah,
AFAIK the more you feel it, the more you have needed it in the first place. So maybe you are more sorted than you think!
I have had a few students who at first couldn't believe they were healing, in the practical session after attunement, even though they were told about the effects thay were producing. Just keep an open mind and let it happen 🙂
