Hi all, have attuned six people to Reiki 1 and all have progressed nicely, some having problems with detoxification, others having only mild symptoms.Each student has been well informed on all information, all have had teatments prior to attunement and understood the journey.There is one student who had his attunement 8 weeks ago and had his ups and downs but came to me at the weekend and gave my daughter a treatment which was very powerful, she was delighted.Since this he has gone into a deep depression and has been physically very unwell.He phoned me tonight and said he wants me to remove the attunement as he feels suicidal, I have asked him to call to me tomorrrow, what do I do now?:(
Oh dear, never heard of a removal of attunement, is there actually such a thing?
never heard of it either Jeanine:(
If the person is so adamant to have the attunement 'removed' maybe you could just make something up.
'If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull****' Oh er that sounds dreadful but you know some things just need to be done and if it puts him back on track again, job well done,.
Jeannie, thanks for your input BUT I could never do this, and JUST FOR TODAY 'HONESTY'. I need to know why this has happened? and what to do for him
Have you thought that is may have nothing to do with the Reiki attunement? He may just have issues that have come to the surface because they need to, like a plaster being ripped off a wound, it needs to be aired to heal.
Why dont you ask him to come to you for some free reiki treatments, tell him they will help to settle his mind and that maybe all he needs.

This is exactly what Im thinking Isis, and he knew this could happen but he is adament on reversing the attunement
You could always send him mental and emotional healing to begin with. If you send it now and ask for his higher self to accept or reject etc, etc it may help lift his mood.
I've never come across anyone asking for an attunement to be removed so havent any experience there but would suggest that you talk to your student tomorrow and see if you can find out why he thinks its the reiki that has brought all this up. Has he a history of depression, or have these feelings surfaced before.
I'd also immediately offer him a reiki healing treatment and try to encourage him to come and visit you as soon as possible both to chat and for treatment.
(we did have one student who went through a bout of depression foillowing master attunement and found that being there at end of phone and offering treatment on regular basis helped her get through it.
I'd also be very concerned if your student is actually threatening suicide. Ring Samaritans and tell them about your fears and they will advise you. Also try to encourage your student to call them.
Every threat should be taken seriously and if you dont have access to clinical supervision Star then Samaritans are the next best.
Thinking of you
Just tell him that the healing crisis IS something everyone will go through to some degree or another that as his Reiki Master your advice is that he must go through a series of Reiki sessions himself, do them for free if you have to.
Explain that in removing an attunement (if it is possible) he is asking you to remove his natural ability to heal and this in effect is invasive, something you are not comfortable, able, ethically bound (whatever you like) to do and that he needs to take time to let it settle in.
OR as an alternative, if he is even hinting at it not being done properly due to how he feels then offer to do it again.... just some ideas but i think offering Reiki is the best way to go xx

Thank you for this, yes I may do it again, just to add this person has been a client of mine for quite a while who came initially for EFT to deal with past issues and had been so well and so happy with the results.Personally I feel the attunement has brought the remaining issues to the surface to be healed
Difficult situation, but I do recall reading about depression and any treatment could be a trigger. Often people who are depressed will 'blame' a treatment, incident, situation for their latest bout of illness, rather than accepting that this is the illness - if you know what I mean.
Did you get his GP's details when you took the person on? You could ring to advise that your client has a problem and seek their advice and inform them of the situation you find yourself in. Their advice would probably to ask your client to call immediatly at their surgery, or make their way to their nearest A & E. The client may have a history which may/may not have shared with you, the client may already having contact with a particular agency? If the client is taking medication, have they altered their dosage? Just a few thoughts.
Please accept a big hug from me.

Thank you Fudge, much appreciated, yes have GP letter as I am quite friendly with His GP, he is not on any meds and prior coming to me he had lots of tests done and I have a copyof his results which were all clear.
Hi Star
You have put up the solution to your dilemma in one of your posts.
Ask him if he is sure that he want to be disconnected from the Reiki modality and if he insists on you as the person who put the attunement into him removing it, then that is his choice which you must respect, just reverse the attunement procedure and remove the symbols in stead of inserting them, this will disconnect him from the Reiki modality. 🙂

Hi Paul, I did not realise you could do this, he was so happy immediately after the attunement, and I am in close contact with him alot.He is coming to me today so if he insists I will remove it, I will chat with him and see how he feels today, thanks 🙂

He can either co-operate or cop out.
Firstly, being in a closed heart and fighting the current is enough to ''un attune'' him, Tell him he does not need your help. he is doing just fine on his own! but that does not mean the depression will go and he will bounce back to being normal. It just means he is blocking energy quite efficiently! All energetic exchange has deep trust, gratitude at the heart. More so for some(the higher they move, more of that ios needed). He seems like a real seeker to me
second, it is also bringing up your deep fears to the surface too. It is clearing you as well.Sit with your own concerns and fears. See clearly that when people are doing great or otherwise, it is nothing to do with you. A certain detachment is looking to happen, which is the next step on your journey perhaps? Once your own fears/attachment are out of the way, the situation will clear
Third, it seems the boy is on a deeper quest than meets the eye. He is gone past Reiki, looks like activated kundalini, which can play havoc if one does not know about open hearted acceptance, surrender and gratitude. He needs guidance from that perspective... somewhat urgently.
