Q&A: Will not doing the 21-Day Cleanse affect my ability to do Reiki?

November 14, 2011 in Q & A, Reiki Articles, Reiki Manual

Question:

“My Reiki Master instructed me to perform a 21-Day Cleanse and Self-Treatment, but I have not done so, mostly for reasons beyond my control (work, the kids, sometimes from simply falling asleep just as I start the process). Will this affect my attunement?”

Our Response:

Yes, because it is a very common side-effect of attunements. The attunement process itself is permanent. Once the attunement has been performed, the only way that it can ever be effectively removed is for it to have never happened, for you to have never gained any experience of having gone through the attunement.

Attunements, even though many do not feel or sense anything during the process, are a powerful process that helps propel a person towards spiritual awakening, and sometimes that awakening is too much for the local personality to digest. When the personality needs time to adjust to the higher spiritual energies that it is awakening to, things happen in the surrounding environment that help slow down the process so that the energies gradually become easier to consciously identify and understand. Is that bad? Not at all, it’s a healthy and natural part of the growing process.

Take one moment to quiet your mind

Take one moment to relax your shoulders

Take one moment to inhale a soft, deep breath

and gently exhale when you are ready.

Take one moment,

Just one moment,

To think Reiki,

To be Reiki.

Invite the healing light of Reiki to radiate outwards from you, offering unconditional loving healing energy to all whom you encounter today.
