Preparing for the Reiki Attunment

A Reiki attunment is a process of empowerment that opens your crown, heart and palm chakras and connects you to the unlimited source of Reiki energy.During the attunment, and for the time after, changes will be made by the attunment energy to enable you to channel Reiki.Thiese changes take place metaphysically in the chakras and aura and also in the physical body.An emotional as well as a physical toxic release can take place as a part on this clearing process.

In order to improve the results you recieve during the attunment, a 7 day process of purification is recomended.This will allow the attunment energies to work more efficiently and will creat greater benefits for you. The recomended steps are optional and serving more as a guidelines.Follow them if you feel guided to do so:

1.Refrain from eating meat, fowl or fish for three days prior to the attunment. These foods often contain drugs in the form of penicillin and female hormones, and toxins in the form of pesticides and heavy metals, that make your system sluggish and throw it out of balance.

2.Consider a water or juice fast for one to three days ONLY if you already are a vegetarian and/or have experience with fasting. If you do not fast, try to choose "whole foods" that are minimally processed: vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and unsugared juices.

3.Minimize your use of coffee and caffeine drinks or stop completely.They create imbalances in the nervous and endocrine systems.Use no caffeine drinks on the day of the attunment. (Do not stop taking prescription medications unless guided by your physician.)

4.Use no alcohol or recreational drugs for at least three days prior to the attunment.

5.Minimize or stop eating and drinking sugar and chocolate.

6.If you smoke, cut back, and smoke as little as possible on the day of the attunment.

7.Meditate for half an hour each day for at least a week using a style you know or simply spend this time in silence and watch you thoughts.

8.Reduce to minimum or eliminate time watching TV, using internet, listening to the radio, reading newspapers or other media.

9.Go for quiet walks, spend time with nature, and get moderate exercise.

10.Give more attention to the subtle impressions and sensations within and arround you; contemplate their meaning.Try to practise mindfulness.

11.Release all anger, fear, jealousy, hate, worry, and other negativity.Avoid stresful situations and big conflicts, if they happened solve them peacefuly not leaving greaf behind.Creat a sacred space within and around you.


A Reiki attunement is not only a ritual, but a process wich may happen throughout all of your lifes.Its an acknowledgment of your commitment to healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Very often after the Reiki training hapens alot of changes in ones life, the body is cleaning and subtle body becomes attuned to Reiki energy. Of cource during the ritual student can feel differend states of consciousness.Or in rare cases you may not feel anything.however in most of the cases you can feel being in contact with Reiki energy. By receiving an attunement you will become part of a Reiki comunity who are using Reiki to heal themselves, their families, friends, pets, and lovers, and who are working together to heal the Earth. Being in onnes with Reiki energy, is being in balance and harmony with oneself and all the world.All that is, the all creation.
All thiese guidelines is for student to prepare more sincerely for Reiki attunment.And to clean ones personal energy more at the deeper level.They should be done carefuly regarding ones ability, dont need to push yourself to much if you feel uncomfortable.And if you feel that some of it is to dificult to follow or they are not acoding to your personal/religious views, you dont have to follow them at all.However from my view they will help student prepare to exept Reiki in more sacred manner and deepen process of purification and creat greater personal benefits.


21days after attunment:
1.Try to rest as much  as possible and avoid any stresful situations and conflicts
2.drink charged water with reiki  - 1.5-2.0 liter a day
3.daily full self-treatments or two if possible [30-60min]
4.daily meditation and recitation of 5 Reiki principles [10-20min/or more if one can]

Grounding In Reiki

Grounding is the process of bringing your energy in harmony with the resonance of the earth. Grounding slows, calms, and infuses you with strength and steadiness. You may notice a distinct shift in your mood as you connect with the Mother Earth.

Grounding, making protection for yourself or shielding is especially important for a practitioner who uses energy healing on others, like Reiki, Prana Healing or any other kind of energy work.It is easy to do and also can be done on a regular basis, when you feel angry or sad, "out of balance",  "wound up" , "stressed" or drained by our surroundings or the lifestyle.As our modern lifestyle sometimes rips us away from the healing, strengthening qualities of nature and the earth.It is important to be grounded before and after the healing session.It will give practitioners sence of peace, inner strength and power. When you heal a person, you make a contact with the patient's energy field. So you need to protect yourself, in order to prevent your body/energy field, from taking the patient's unwanted negative energy, physical symptoms or energy blocks as/or when they get reliesed during the treatment. Protection works both ways it shields the practitioner and the patient from each other's unwanted negative energy.
The grounding process works like a strainer removing only the unwanted energy debris and allowing the healing process to continue its work at much stronger level. After the healing session clean the client's aura and ask Reiki Energy, God, Higher Power or your Spirit Guides to remove any "footprints" from aura of both the client and yourself.And reliese thiese "footprints' to the ground and transform them into positive energy. A practitioner should always ground and shield one's self in situations where his energy system may be vulnerable.This is a very beneficial practise.You can groung yourself every morning before you leave your home and this will protect you during the day.

To ground or make energetic protection for yourself, stand or sit on the chair with your feet flat on the floor or on the ground if you're outside.Than visualize the roots of a tree developing from your base chakra , moving down your legs, to the bottom of your feet and going deep into the ground.Connecting you to the Mother Earth. Allow your awareness to drop down to the ground with the roots till you feel physically heavier. Feel you are rooted to the center of the earth. If you feel like releasing your negative energy try to do so through your roots. The earth energy will transform it. If you need extra energy, draw it from the earth. Let the earth's energy come up through the roots into your feet, base chakra and than the whole body.Finaly feel how the energy reaching your shoulders and head and than coming out of the top of your head and showering back again to the ground. Awareness should always be grounded on the earth even when you imagine energy going up your body.

Choosing A Reiki Teacher

There are a number of Reiki masters who are willing to teach Reiki to others. But selecting a Reiki teacher can be a difficult task. When there are many who are willing to teach and you have to choose one after comparing them the task becomes more difficult. Here are a few tips to help you choose a teacher who is suitable for you

• Compatibility between the student and the teacher is very important. Take a few Reiki sessions from prospective teachers and see how you feel. Ask them questions and see if your philosophies and ideas match. Trust your intuition if you feel comfortable about a particular person and like his ideas then you are likely to enjoy learning from him.
• Taking a session with a teacher will give you an idea as to how they work, the environment in which they work and you will be able to share their energy. Sharing energy is important before you decide on a teacher.
• The teacher should honor and respect you at all times. He must support you and aid the growth of your Reiki practice in any way he can. Must act with integrity at all times and must work towards your best interests.
• Ask the person about their practice experience with Reiki. If the person has not been practicing Reiki for some time before deciding to teach then they are not likely to have the range of experience necessary for a teacher. Regular Reiki practice is necessary for developing awareness about the transmission of energy and is required for personal growth of the practitioner.
• Ask the person about their philosophy and approach to Reiki. These days there are a number of variations in the practice of Reiki. Usui Reiki is the fundamental form of Reiki from here the different forms have taken shape. Choose a teacher who provides a balanced approach and respects all the approaches.
• The cost of a Reiki class will depend on the type of material that the practitioner distributes. You may be given photocopied handouts or full manuals. Find out what you will get. Good reference material is essential, as you as you will have to integrate, what you have learnt as you continue your Reiki practice.
• Cost will depend on the length of the classes as well.But they should be affordable. Individual classes may last from 4 hours to two days. A Level 1 class should be at least a daylong. If  it is shorter then the basic foundation is being compromised.
• In Reiki hands on experience in required. Therefore find out how many experiential sessions the person will have. Experiential learning is necessary to learn Reiki and this is possible only with enough practice. You have to understand the foundations and philosophy and have to feel the experience of using Reiki. The practitioner should give equal importance to both.
• Find out whether the person will be willing to help and support you even after you have completed the requisite number of classes.
• Verify that the person has the required approval to teach you Reiki.Like Reiki Master-Teacher's certificate.

10 Paterns of Negative Thinking

The way to overcome negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful.” - His Holiness 14th Dalai Lama

10 Paterns of Negative Thinking
Life could be so much better for many people, if they would just spot their negative thinking habits and replace them with positive ones.Negative thinking, in all its many-splendored forms, has a way of creeping into conversations and our thinking without our noticing them. The key to success, in my humble opinion, is learning to spot these thoughts and squash them like little bugs. Then replace them with positive ones. You’ll
notice a huge difference in everything you do.Let’s take a look at 10 common ways that negative thinking emerges — get good at spotting these patterns, and practice replacing them with positive thinking patterns. It has made all the difference in the world for me.


1. I will be happy once I have _____ (or once I earn X).
Problem: If you think you can’t be happy until you reach a certain point, or until you reach a certain income, or have a certain type of house or car or computer setup, you’ll never be happy. That elusive goal is always
just out of reach. Once we reach those goals, we are not satisfied — we want more.
Solution: Learn to be happy with what you have, where you are, and who you are, right at this moment. Happiness doesn’t have to be some state that we want to get to eventually — it can be found right now. Learn to count your blessings, and see the positive in your situation. This might sound simplistic, but it works.
2. I wish I were as ____ as (a celebrity, friend, co-worker).
Problem: We’ll never be as pretty, as talented, as rich, as sculpted, as cool, as everyone else. There will always be someone better, if you look hard enough. Therefore, if we compare ourselves to others like this, we will always pale, and will always fail, and will always feel bad about ourselves.This is no way to be happy.
Solution: Stop comparing yourself to others, and look instead at yourself — what are your strengths, your accomplishments, your successes, however small? What do you love about yourself? Learn to love who you are, right now, not who you want to become. There is good in each of us, love in each of us, and a wonderful human spirit in every one of us.
3. Seeing others becoming successful makes me jealous and resentful.
Problem: First, this assumes that only a small number of people can be successful. In truth, many, many people can be successful — in different ways.
Solution: Learn to admire the success of others, and learn from it, and be happy for them, by empathizing with them and understanding what it must be like to be them. And then turn away from them, and look at
yourself — you can be successful too, in whatever you choose to do. And even more, you already are successful. Look not at those above you in the social ladder, but those below you — there are always millions of people worse off than you, people who couldn’t even read this article or afford a computer. In that light, you are a huge success.
4. I am a miserable failure — I can’t seem to do anything right.
Problem: Everyone is a failure, if you look at it in certain ways. Everyone has failed, many times, at different things. I have certainly failed so many times I cannot count them — and I continue to fail, daily. However,
looking at your failures as failures only makes you feel bad about yourself.By thinking in this way, we will have a negative self-image and never move on from here.
Solution: See your successes and ignore your failures. Look back on your life, in the last month, or year, or 5 years. And try to remember your successes. If you have trouble with this, start documenting them — keep a
success journal, either in a notebook or online. Document your success each day, or each week. When you look back at what you’ve accomplished, over a year, you will be amazed. It’s an incredibly positive feeling.
5. I’m going to beat so-and-so no matter what — I’m better than him. And there’s no way I’ll help him succeed — he might beat me.
Problem: Competitiveness assumes that there is a small amount of gold to be had, and I need to get it before he does. It makes us into greedy, back-stabbing, hurtful people. We try to claw our way over people to get
to success, because of our competitive feelings. For example, if a blogger wants to have more subscribers than another blogger, he may never link to or mention that other blogger. However, who is to say that my
subscribers can’t also be yours? People can read and subscribe to more than one blog.
Solution: Learn to see success as something that can be shared, and learn that if we help each other out, we can each have a better chance to be successful. Two people working towards a common goal are better than
two people trying to beat each other up to get to that goal. There is more than enough success to go around. Learn to think in terms of abundance rather than scarcity.
6. Dammit! Why do these bad things always happen to me?
Problem: Bad things happen to everybody. If we dwell on them, they will frustrate us and bring us down.
Solution: See bad things as a part of the ebb and flow of life. Suffering is a part of the human condition — but it passes. All pain goes away, eventually. Meanwhile, don’t let it hold you back. Don’t dwell on bad
things, but look forward towards something good in your future. And learn to take the bad things in stride, and learn from them. Bad things are actually opportunities to grow and learn and get stronger, in disguise.
7. You can’t do anything right! Why can’t you be like ____ ?
Problem: This can be said to your child or your subordinate or your sibling.The problem? Comparing two people, first of all, is always a fallacy.People are different, with different ways of doing things, different strengths and weaknesses, different human characteristics. If we were all the same, we’d be robots. Second, saying negative things like this to another person never helps the situation. It might make you feel better, and more powerful, but in truth, it hurts your relationship, it will actually make you feel negative, and it will certainly make the other person feel negative and more likely to continue negative behavior. Everyone loses.
Solution: Take the mistakes or bad behavior of others as an opportunity to
teach. Show them how to do something. Second, praise them for their positive behavior, and encourage their success. Last, and most important, love them for who they are, and celebrate their differences.
8. Your work sucks. It’s super lame. You are a moron and I hope you never reproduce.
Problem: So how does saying something negative like this help you? I guess it might feel good to someone if you feel like your time has been wasted. But really, how much of your time has been wasted? A few minutes? And whose fault is that? In truth, making negative comments just keeps you in a negative mindset. It’s also not a good way to make friends.
Solution: Learn to offer constructive solutions, first of all. Instead of telling someone their blog sucks, or that a post is lame, offer some specific suggestions for improvement. Help them get better. If you are going to
take the time to make a comment, make it worth your time. Second, learn to interact with people in a more positive way — it makes others feel good and it makes you feel better about yourself. And you can make
some great friends this way. That’s a good thing.
9. Insulting People Back
Problem: If someone insults you or angers you in some way, insulting them back and continuing your anger only transfer their problem to you. This person was probably having a bad day (or a bad year) and took it out on you for some reason. If you reciprocate, you are now having a bad day too. His problem has become yours. Not only that, but the cycle of insults can get worse and worse until it results in violence or other negative consequences — for both of you.
Solution: Let the insults or negative comments of others slide off you like Teflon. Don’t let their problem become yours. In fact, try to understand their problem more — why would someone say something like that? What problems are they going through? Having a little empathy for someone not only makes you understand that their comment is not about you, but it can make you feel and act in a positive manner towards them — and make you feel better about yourself in the process.
10. I don’t think I can do this — I don’t have enough discipline. May be some other time.
Problem: If you don’t think you can do something, you probably won’t.Especially for the big stuff. Discipline has nothing to do with it — motivation and focus has everything to do with it. And if you put stuff off for “some other time”, you’ll never get it done. Negative thinking like this inhibits us from accomplishing anything.
Solution: Turn your thinking around: you can do this! You don’t need discipline. Find ways to make yourself a success at your goal. If you fail, learn from your mistakes, and try again. Instead of putting a goal off for
later, start now. And focus on one goal at a time, putting all of your energy into it, and getting as much help from others as you can. You can really move mountains if you start with positive thinking.
