RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Hi Dr L

It is the simple things that work with energy channelling work, anything is possible if you are prepared to put away your fears and preconceptions, as for receiving the R3 my advice is the same for any energy attunement simply open up, relax and enjoy

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

dear Dr L,

the original form of reiki was either a path which used a seies of meditations(for buddhists), kotodama(if you were a shinto foloower) or symbols(for dr hayashi and members of the gakkai.

the daily meditations are not difficult, they are based on simplicity, but do involve a committment to practice. this doesn't seem too hard, we don't expect to drive a car after one lesson, after all and it does make a real difference to how we are in life.

there are no daily empowerments in the original form, just the meditations and a wish to live the 5 precepts in daily life.

Reiju (blessing) is where attunements originated from.

Hi Mari,

ORIGINAL: 3291m the original form of reiki was either a path which used a seies of meditations(for buddhists), kotodama(if you were a shinto foloower) or symbols(for dr hayashi and members of the gakkai.

OK but are you talking about reiki healing here or the original connection to the energy -do you mean that Usui taught the meditations as means of 'self-attunement'?

Reiju (blessing) is where attunements originated from.

I think that reiju is an empowerment, so I'm not really sure what the difference is between this and an attunement. [sm=sad2.gif]

An attunement uses symbols an empowerment as you may know does not it uses kotodama/jumon without symbols

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Hi Dez

I beg to differ on that one, you can attune someone to Reiki without the symbols, your first level of the Kundalini Reiki is a Usui 3 without the symbols, if you think about it if you used your intention to attune someone to the highest form of Usui Reiki without the symbols then that is what they would receive the highest form of connection to that part of the energy spectrum and then they would just have to learn to use the energy the way it is supposed to be used

Paul
I was reffering to usui reiki with regards to attunement and empowerment, but your point is totally valid.

I think of an attunement = with symbols
I think of an empowerment = no symbols just energy

we know the symbols are not the energy they are symbolic, so in my context that is how I see it.

but yes i agree with your Kundalini Comment

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Hands-on attunements versus Distant is a very personal choice. As has been mentioned already, the essential ingrediant with either option is your connection with your teacher and the certainty they will still be there for you after any attunement.
I have done many of both with excelent feedback from all students (I am very happy to say!!)
As to the discussion about multiple attunements, again my thoughts on this are that for someone new to reiki or spiritual energies, it is completely inadvisable to consider this 'quick fix' solution. I have a friend (very spiritually aware and already reiki 1 at the time,) who did 3 reiki and 2 seichim attunements in 5 days, and it took them 8 months for their energy to balance out again.
As has already been mentioned it is - when all is said and done - up to the individual to decide what they want.

Walk softly,

i am glad you posted the info on the quick fix attunements ( lots in a short time )

yet again it all depends on your own energy bodies and how developed you are.

some people can handle it very well but as you said some do not.

sometimes less is more

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Dez,
I do agree that some folk can handle mutliple attunements while others can't, my point was that of all the folk I knew at that time (going back 6 - 7 years now) I really thought this person would have been able to handle those energies without a wobble. It sure taught me a good lesson.

There is another consideration to the mutiple attunements that hasn't been mentioned here, so I will ask what folk think ...

If it is sometimes difficult for students to handle multiple attunements, what effect does it have n the teacher? (Especially if they are doing it regularly?)

each time a master gives an attunement they benefit from it also.

On multiple att's

some people say that they stack up in your aura and when one has settled in then the next comes through, one after the other.

if this is so then i understand why some people get a healing crisis

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Hi Jonjo

I think we need to clarify something here with a Reiki 3 in 1 master attunement you are only giving and receiving one attunement not three, all the ingredients of the levels 1 & 2 attunements are a part of the level three attunement hence the singular attunement, it is the same with any system if you follow the attunements through then anything above level one usually builds on what is already there otherwise you are receiving something completely different.

I think what Dez has put forward of only receiving as much as you can handle in that moment of time and then the rest settling as soon as the first has cleared makes sense, you also get to know your own capabilities after a while and sense how far it is safe to stretch things like this but you never know unless you try

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Hi Dez
I agree about the benefits to the healer/teacher too.

Your comments about the energies stacking up and filtering through is an interesting concept. One that I like, too;)

Hi Paul

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

I think we need to clarify something here with a Reiki 3 in 1 master attunement you are only giving and receiving one attunement not three,

I really am talking about multiple attunements, as in levels 1 - 3 or 4 and others insluded. I was wondering whether the teacher was 'overloaded' energetically if they give multiple level attunements in one sitting - so to speak.

maybe they are maybe they are not , i do not know

I have not had this experience, others may have

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Hi Jonjo

When you consider that some teachers hold rather large classes and are doing up to twenty attunements in one continual series of attunements then no I do not think it will overload your energy systems but it can have repercussions in the physical level and you can possibly overtire yourself especially with the systems that require your own input into the attunement.

RE: is this free distant attunement okay?

Hi Paul
Thanks for your thoughts on this. As I have only worked with small groups for attunements it is not something I had considered. An interesting comment. Thanks
