I have become a reiki master recently.. and sometimes i make some changes in the initiation process.. namely...
Normally 4 initiations are needed for Reiki 1..
Sometimes before doing the second initation, i do the first one again and then after a pause i start doing the second initiation.. the same with the third and fourth initiations.. i always repeat the previous one.. It follows that i attune twice. (8 times :)) What do you think, will it be right if i do so? I know that there is no need to do that.. But i do it to make sure everything is OK.. Though i know that it is...
Your advice would be apprieciated...
If you recently became a Reiki Master, is it safe to assume you are still in contact with, and receiving support from, your own Reiki Master?
In which case, what has his/her advice been?
Holistic
From what you said, you are repeating the attunements because of lack of confidence in the process and your part in it. Have a word with your teacher on this point.
If it helps, I have done attunements where I forgot parts of it... but the energy does its job regardless,as the intent between teacher and student is the most important aspect, imho, not the ritual.

Hi Armion,
Are you talking about actually teaching and attuning others or are you practicing attunements in preparation for teaching?
How recently did you take Masters? Some teachers recommend waiting quite a few months even up to a year or more integrating your master energy before teaching.
Attunements always work although I believe the energy of the Master performing the attunements is important. Becoming a Master means working on your own issues and your healing, working through those issues which affect your ability to remain calm, grounded and stable.The heart being opened, loving and serene, as much as possible, at peace with the world.
If you are having to "just to make sure everything is ok" it may suggest you still need some time to integrate and work through the Master energy.
Remember "just for today I will not worry". Perhaps a Reiki Master should embody the Reiki principles as best as possible before teaching them? Not that the Master should be perfect of course as it is just a teaching grade.
You may also find the attunement procedure you have learned will change and develop as you practice teaching. To me the Master is communicating or passing without words or language the ability for the recipient to channel and work with the Reiki energy.
This silent communication also comes through the Master and the Master doesn't attune or actually do anything. The Master is the medium through which the attunement passes. Their energy is important so as not to add their "voice" or energy to the process.
As you grow in confidence this "voice" or energy you are adding, "just to be sure..." will fall away.
Your students teach you and are helping you to learn how to be the best Reiki Master you can be. So "just for today we give thanks for our many blessings.
🙂
All the best for a wonderful time ahead.

I dont think there is any need to wait for a year for a master energy to be integrated in you.. it has always been in us.. the best thing to do is to practially use and feel it.. so master said nothing about waiting for my time to come and then to conduct initiations. it is not important.. all of us have been doubted whether reiki works or not , whether initiations work or not... whether out attunements work or not.. so i face the similar situation.. though already i know that they do.. my students do not feel any sensations in their hands,, but i think it is normal,, with time they will feel something.. they need time to work on themselves..
Can u explain me why students sometimes do not feel any sensations (tingling etc) in their hands right after the initiation? What is it related to?

I'm sorry Armion but I'm beginning to wonder if you have been attuned to Master level and trained as a teacher. For me, being a Reiki Master and teacher is a big responsibility and if these things as you say are "not important" to you then I can't help. I think it's best that you take these issues up with your Reiki Master teacher.
Best wishes

Being a reiki master is indeed a responsiblity but not a great one.. We are too serious with regards reiki.. Reiki is a tool for inner development and healing.. But it is not all that is needed for our development... We are not frank with ourseleves, we are programmed as we are told to do... yeah, reiki has been what i have always wanted .. I have always wanted to help people by healing with hands.. thats great.. many people say advice without realising that the advice does not correspond to the reailty...
When you attune smb with all your heart, the initiation works.. it always works.. whether you write symbols correctly or incorrectly or miss some part of your attunement... so what is the role of a master if the initiation can work when the master makes some changes or faults in his attunement. If that is so, then what makes the attunement work? A student can learn the hand positions from the book as well..
I am not sceptic about reiki.. i love reiki.. i teach reiki.. I just cast some doubts to the entire process and for us to ponder it over...
Regard my message with understanding....

I have no doubts about Reiki to ponder over. I know what makes the attunement work. My students have no doubt that they have been attuned. They also physically look different during and after being attuned and have no problems sensing and using the energy. If you are thinking you are attuning with all of your heart then you are imho not attuning you are interfering as you think it is you doing it when it is not.
Attuning others to Reiki is not something we perform or a performance. It is a sacred, holy gift for which The Reiki Master is the vessel but not the contents of the vessel. Try not to confuse the vessel with the content. Yet, at the same time, the vessel and the content are one. There is no "me" perfoming an attunement on a "you" there is only Reiki.
As Jesus said "it is not me who doest these things but my father who is in heaven who doest these things.
The biggest trap for the Reiki Master is to imagine that they are the Master. When everything is aligned, there is no master, no student, no teaching and no teacher.

When i first got my Reiki 1 attunement, I didnt feel anything during the initation and after it for a long time.. I worked on myself very hard for around a month, and after that i began feeling something in my hands.. So this is natural when after teh attunement a student does not feel anything.. Not all of them feel something... What is it acounted for?
What is it acounted for?
I don't understand your question Armion.
I'll assume your question is "how is it that some feel the energy and experience the attunement deeply and immeditately and some don't and have to wait and work on their Reiki before knowing it's there?"
Firstly, that part of you asking and struggling with these issues is not the part of you which has been attuned to Reiki. That part of you which is attuned - the spiritual aspect of who you are - would not be asking or struggling. The struggle takes place at the physical, emotional and mental levels or "aspects" of who you are. Most of these "aspects" are illusionary or not actually real in terms of the truth or the totality of who you are as a spiritual being. We don't actually live as separated beings disconnected from the created universe at these higher levels or our being.
This is why the Earth plane is called illusion as we experience ourselves as separate from everything. We create a personality, emotions, a physical body which creates the illusion of being separate, we create a separated consciousness. This separated consciousness is not real we only "imagine" it is real. Hence we are "dreaming" and our enlightenment is an awakening. Buddha means "Awakened one". Or as Jesus said "I and my Father are one"
There is no separation.
So it doesn't matter whether we feel or experience deeply the Reiki attunement as it takes place at the spiritual level. To expect the ego to experience spiritual events is unreasonable because it is the very thing which prevents our being awakened anyway.
So all these things you are struggling with are at the separated personality levels of your being. Or ego level. Best leave them alone and work on being and becoming the spriritual aspects of who you are. This means dying to the ego aspects and is done by giving up the need to know and the need to "do" as a separated person and becoming unconditional love more and more without judgement of self or others and trusting and surrendering to spirit.
As Jesus said as he surrendered "into thy hands I place my spirit" So the spiritual journey is about knowing the ego, recognising it and letting it go..."give unto Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar and unto God what belongs to God".
Ponder on this.

My question is why some people feel something during the attunement and some do not? How can you explain it? I also did not feel anything when i received my Reiki 1.. After working hard on myself, i felt tingling and my hands got etc.. in short, i felt the energy flow after a month...
My next quesiton is: If a person does not work on himself for 21 days or more, can he feel the energy flow.. Because people want proofs.. If they dont feel anything, they do not believe it....
I've already answered all your questions in the previous post Armion.
I'm going now and won't be answering any more. Everything you need is within you.

Hi Armion
Regarding your first question... when I was attuned everyone felt something in their hands... but I have read that not everyone does, maybe it takes more time for some people to adjust and 'notice' the sensations of reiki... I have also heard of some Reiki Masters who have never felt any sensations at all, but they know for a fact their reiki works because of the positive results and the impact it has on their clients.
The first time I tried distance healing, I was quite sceptical and did not feel much happening at all so I doubted it worked... That is until my recipient came in afterwards from the next room, with a massive peaceful smile on her face, saying how she had instantly fallen into a deep sleep and now felt all her aches and pains had gone...
I guess another question would be, how important is it to be able to feel physical sensations of reiki in one's hands? I am not sure the sensations, the 'proof', is important at all so long as what we are doing is of benefit to others. We need to have a little faith in these things! I find I trust the feedback I get from others more than any sensations I feel myself.
Your second question, you ask if someone can feel the energy flow if they do not work on themselves for 21 days... I would say yes, because I started to feel it straight away after my attunements! I do practice and work on myself so my connection to reiki and my understanding of it grows... this does not necessarily mean the sensations I feel grow stronger, some days they feel very strong and some days it's much more subtle.
I hope this helps a bit! I by no means have all the answers, as I've only been working with reiki for about 5 months now and very much feel I am still learning too! It is a long journey, but an enjoyable one.
