"ntroduction
This is a Master Teacher Manual for the three level Usui system of Reiki. This covers both traditional and contemporary Reiki techni1ues though no manual can contain all permutations of information on Reiki Practice. The Reiki Master2Teacher 3Level """4 consists of learning the master symbol5 receiving the attunement5 and learning attunement processes. There also is often some discussion and teaching about ethical spiritual and social issues that might concern to Reiki Masters. This book !ill address some of the the practical methods of teaching Reiki to others and some thoughts about manual !riting and class organi6ation. ,hen This Reiki level three class is completed and the Reiki three attunement has been received the student !ill be a Reiki Master and teacher and !ill be able to pass Reiki #ttunement for all levels of Reiki using either ritual methods or the direct intention transmission of the Reiki attunement. $ome masters !ill only teach those people !ho are !illing and able to completely dedicate their lives to Reiki. " feel that Reiki and other energy !ork systems should be !idely available to people !ho sincerely !ish to learn to use them. Many Reiki practitioners !ant to take the Master level to complete their Reiki training. There is no !ay to complete your spiritual development and personal evolution. This is an ongoing process. The Reiki master training is a ne! beginning for sharing Reiki !ith others and for opportunities to enhance your o!n development. aturally much of the material in this manual should be familiar to the Reiki Master candidate from their previous study of Reiki. This manual has the 'ual purpose of teaching the Master student the material they need to kno! in becoming a Reiki Master and revie!ing and presenting information and procedures to be taught to their students. &eing # Reiki Master does not mean you are better or !iser or more enlightened than anyone else it 7ust means that you are able to transfer the ability to transmit Reiki attunement to others. " feel that a Reiki Master should make an effort to live in an ethical !ay and to be responsible for their actions and intentions. This manual includes traditional Usui Reiki5 attunement and the kno!ledge to pass them to others. " emphasi6e that strongly because due to Reiki variants !ith differing numbers of attunements there is occasionally some confusion about !hat is to be taught in a particular class. $ome teachers teach a Reiki 8a or personal Master level bet!een Reiki ( and the teaching level. $ome of these classes only teach the use of the 3

empo!erment symbol for personal use and healing and others !ill teach a number of nontraditional techni1ues but 8a usually does not teach ho! to pass attunements for all levels or ho! to teach a class. This may seem like 7ust a !ay to get more money out of a student. " usually 7ust teach the complete system in three levels. $ome people do !ish to have the use of the empo!erment function in healing !ithout !anting to teach others usually because of a specific healing need among their family and loved ones or they may !ant an intermediate stage bet!een Reiki t!o and Reiki Master teacher before they decide if they !ish to practice as a Reiki Master. $ome nontraditional elements that are often added in three a classes might include meditation techni1ues5 a %ealing #ttunement5 the %ui 9in5 the :iolet &reath5 Psychic $urgery5 Reiki *rystal /rids a Meet your Reiki /uide Meditation5 some of these are touched on in the Reiki t!o manual that is included !ith this Master training The reality is that most ;8a Master Practitioners; are Reiki Masters !ho simply have not been taught an #ttunement Process.
#bout $ymbols
There are at least three fundamentally different types of symbols and beliefs regarding the nature of symbolic forms. The first kind of symbol is those in !hich the po!er or ability to create effect is inherent in the form of the symbol. Those used in sacred geometry or the tatt!as and to a certain e+tent 9antra Mandalas are among those in !hich the actual shape or form is said to directly stimulate the subconscious energy patterns in the brain and energy body or physical and nonphysical reality. These symbols are said to contain the po!er to !aken an ability or create a result or convey mystical information and reali6ation of themselves !ith no or little action or intention by anyone. The second belief is that ob7ects and symbols can be something that is charged or empo!ered by intention or ritual or pro+imity to holy places or people to contain the po!er to create an effect. The last kind of symbol is those that are tools or triggers !hich enable you to connect !ith and use a spiritual function5 information5 energy and so forth5 that e+ists separate from the symbol itself. The symbol is more like an on button the po!er is in !hat the symbols represent rather than having any po!er of its o!n. These vie!points are not really mutually e+clusive they are 7ust different !ays of looking at things. $ome people in the United states have considered and taught that the Reiki symbols and their names or mantra themselves inherently contained the po!er and !ere sacred and secret not to be revealed to anyone !ho !as not an initiate. Most of the $ymbols used in Reiki are <an7i that is !ritten !ords !hich have esoteric symbolic meanings in some &uddhist traditions. 4

" have al!ays felt that the Reiki symbols !ere primarily of the third kind. They are tools to facilitate connecting !ith aspects of the universal energy for healing. They do not themselves have inherant po!er. There are often many different !ays to dra! a particular symbol but they all effectively assist in connecting to the Reiki energy. o! that ,estern Reiki Practitioners have made contact !ith Japanese Reiki Practitioners from the Reiki #ssociation founded by Mikao Usui it is apparent that this is the !ay they are used in that society and that many people become able to use Reiki functions !ithout directly invoking the symbols. These symbols are e+actly that5 symbols. They are not !hat they represent. The Reiki symbols represent specific properties functions of energy for healing and spiritual enhancement. ,hen anyone !ho is attuned to Reiki sees and says the name or dra!s these symbols it helps them to connect themselves !ith the Reiki energy and activate the function and specific purpose the symbol represents. The specific attunement the author of this manual uses does confer an automatic ability to choose to !ork !ith the Reiki functions by intention and use !ords or thought as the activator as !ell as by consciously invoking the symbols. 'irect intention activation does not substitute for the information and e+perience to be gained from studying and using symbols. "t is not necessary to understand the meanings of the symbols or even to consciously use them to gain and share the benefits of the Reiki system. Though it can enrich your e+perience to e+plore the meanings. The symbols remind us that there are !ays to focus on different aspects of the energy and use them. 9ou may also use Reiki to focus on other aspects and purposes of the universal energy by direct intention. 0ther systems !hich have evolved from Reiki such as $eichim and <aruna use different symbols to focus on other aspects of the energy. %o!ever you can use Reiki for these functions !ithout further attunement and !ith or !ithout the use of the additional symbols. " do not mean to say that !orking !ithout symbols is ;more advanced; than !orking !ith them. " mean that it is simply different5 not better or more advanced5 and that !hat istrue or right for one person may not be the best !ay for another person. "n the Usui Reiki Ryoho /akkai !hich is the Reiki society founded by Usui $ensei5 ,e understand that it is taught that the symbols !ere added by Usui sensei sometime after his reali6ation of Reiki in order to help those people !ho had little e+perience in energy !ork or !ho needed help connecting !ith energy. The symbols !ere apparently selected from those terms used in some esoteric &uddhist sects that are appropriate for the function of the Reiki focus. " !as actually familiar !ith most of these terms before encountering Reiki so " am not surprised by this at all. Many more 5

books and translations of Reiki teaching from Japan !ill be published in the future so our historical information about Reiki !ill continue to e+pand. Reiki is not a closed system5 !hile !e benefit by having a sound background in traditional Reiki practices Usui $ensei5 by designating himself as second rank gave symbolic indication of his hope that the system !ould continue to develop after his passing. The method of becoming attuned to the ability to use Reiki has changed over the years from the !ay it !as and is practiced at the Japanese Reiki society. "n the Reiki Ryoho in Japan you !ould meet !eekly !ith fello! members and a master5 have a lesson or lecture and possibly practice and or receive healing treatment after !hich you !ould do the hatsurei ho meditation during !hich the master !ould give you and the other members ;Rei7u; an empo!erment !hich helps to connect and deepen your connection to Reiki energy usually gradually in accord !ith your personal development. Possibly after a period probably of a year or more of this practice and study you might be invited to learn the second teachings. "n the %ayashi-Takata lineage called Usui $hiki Ryoho the symbols are of more importance. The system !as set up to teach Reiki faster than the lengthy training in Reiki Ryoho. There !as more emphasis on symbols and hand positions so that students could connect to Reiki in order to !ork in the %ayashi clinic before they developed the ability to sense the energy of clients. This is also probably !hy an attunement process !as developed similar to the initiations used in many healing and spiritual traditions in order to. greatly accelerate the clearing and connection and ability to !ork !ith universal energies The Masters that Mrs. Takata trained !ere taught !ith this emphasis on the symbols and !ere also s!orn to secrecy about the Reiki symbols and other practices. 'ai <u Myo5 .mpo!erment5 The master symbol 'ai <u Myo or dai ko myo 3dye koo myo5 3mm yoh long o 4. .mpo!erment5 "ntuition5 *reativity and $piritual connection this is the master symbol or energy function used for activating the initiation and attunement to Reiki. This is the only symbol added in traditional Usui Reiki during the Master training. There are a couple of additional symbols that are not originally part of this system that many teachers have added and !e !ill discuss them later. 'ai <u Myo can be translated as ;the /reat shining light; or ;the treasure to!er of light; "n some &uddhist practices it is symbolic of ;Mystic la! ; or one=s ;&uddha ature; and of states of enlightenment. and is sometimes used in esoteric &uddhism as a metaphor for the essential spiritual truth or la!s of the universe "t can also refer to the senses 5 the human body in enlightenment5 The teachings of all enlightened masters. These may be traditional meanings separate from 6

'ai ku Myo as a Reiki symbol. 'ai ku myo enables recognition and clarity about your true path. There is less !ritten about this Reiki symbol and function than about the others in the conte+t of Reiki because until 1uite recently there have been very fe! Reiki Masters !ho are empo!ered to use it. "t is still some!hat une+plored. Mrs. Takata dre! the symbols differently for many of her students. The first three symbols !ere compared and one form for each !as selected after her death. This !as not done !ith the '<M so there are many different versions !hich you might encounter. They all !ork. '<M activates a po!erful energy for $elf .mpo!erment and is used for opening $piritual connection and intuition and cellular healing. 0nce you are attuned for this energy you can use it for treating yourself and others each time you activate Reiki. "t is said to !ork at the cellular and genetic levels and is valuable for treating Migraine %eadaches. Many people have found that Level three Reiki #ttunement increases the intuitive and psychic a!areness that they can comfortably access. " have heard this called the vocational or life purpose function because it often seems to initiate dramatic changes in career and lifestyle. "t is also used as a Manifestation energy by some as is *ho <u Rei the po!er boost from second degree Reiki. To use '<M for manifestation you activate this energy and clearly visuali6e !hat you intend to manifest this !ill not bring you things that are not in accord !ith your high self and soul purpose. The first e+ample is the form " !as originally taught. The second is probably the more authentic form of 'ai ku myo. " also believe that the hori6ontal stroke is more correctly dra!n as the first stroke. and the strokes sho!n as ) and three in the first e+ample is really a single stroke (

The 'ai ku Myo is kno!n as the Master $ymbol. This is the function or energy that the Reiki master activates to do the #ttunements that make the Reiki energies permanently accessible to the ne! practitioner. $ome Reiki Masters do a non master three a attunement that activates the 'ai ku myo as the spiritual and intuitive energy tool but supposedly does not confer the ability to do attunements. "t many cases probably does but the student is not taught ho! to do attunements.

This is considered to be a very sacred symbol and given the highest e+pressions like ==/od inviting symbol==5 ==The symbol for guiding spiritual a!akening==. &ut the symbol has its value in the function of connecting to sacred being and becoming part of it. The source 3higher dimension4 represented by the symbol is honorable but the symbol itself is 7ust a tool. ; The different concepts illustrated by different &uddhist sects using 'ai <u Myo as a metaphor do include sacred but not secret ideas about 8

spiritual reality and universal La! such as Love Light and %armony and the proper function of all the senses in perfect fusion !ith spiritual essence 3treasure house4 and in the particular tradition " am most familiar !ith it represents the complete body of universal La! and !isdom. " feel that these ;mystic la!; aspects of the '<M may have contributed some!hat to the idea of the symbols themselves as sacred and secret. " do not consider them sacred of themselves on the other hand " appreciate the intention of those !ho do. " !ill share the symbols discretely !hen " feel it appropriate but naturally do not !ant to disrespect it or display it outside of its conte+ts of healing and $piritual la!. 'ai <u Myo is for all purposes of Reiki function !ith or !ithout the other symbols. The spiritual bodies effect the physical body. %ealing at the Master level is thought to directly effect the higher spiritual body template and can lead to immense transformation and healing on all levels of being and possibly at times5 Miracles. "t is taught in many paths that all disease comes from blocks forming in the energy body. Reiki treatment !ill help remove these blocks5 free stagnant energy5 restore energy to depleted areas and improve the function and stability of the energy body. This contributes to physical healing and emotional5 mental and spiritual !holeness. " use the Usui 'ai <u Myo constantly. "t calls in a complete range of the most positive energy fre1uencies possible in each specific situation. "t can also be used to clear a!ay negativity and as a protective symbol. 0ne focus of this symbol is the healing of the soul. The physical body reflects the condition of the spiritual body5 and one can often effectively heal disease at its causal root 5 or spiritual level5 !ith 'ai <u myo. There is a different symbol that is usually called 'ai <o Myo or modern or Tibetan 'ai <u Myo This symbol !as not taught by Usui $ensei and is not used by most traditional Reiki Masters. " do not use it directly myself in Usui Reiki attunement but mention it here for your information Most People !ho do use the T'<M only use it !hen doing attunements. The Master attunement " use !ill enable you to use the it if you !ish to do so. " have also encountered this used to raise energy from a center near the Tan Tien but not e+actly the same. $ome Masters use this symbol instead of the traditional 'ai <u myo Raku 3rah koo4 is another added symbol that is often used to end attunements 3and sometimes to begin them4 " have seen &uddhist and shinto priests use this symbol as a gesture to end rituals so believe it !as probably adapted from these for use !ith Reiki. Most often Raku is only used in attunements. To open and close and ground the aura There is no need for additional attunement to use these symbols anyone !ho is attuned to Reiki Master can dra! on these functions if they !ish to do 9

so. Raku is an addition to traditional Reiki " have not found it to be of any real value myself but your e+perience might differ. %o! #ttunements !ork 'uring the #ttunement The RM intends that the recipient- attunee be connected to the energies and that they be able to access the energies and the recipient intends to accept attunement to Reiki. "t is the intention of the master that confers the ability to use the Reiki functions5 rather than the dra!ing of the symbols !ithin the sphere of the aura. 9ou can think of all attunements as being like fi+ing a radio 3or programming the vcr4. $ort of the energetic e1uivalent of cleaning off the connectors attaching the !ires and !rapping them tape and finding the channels you like and set setting the automatic channel finder button so that !hen someone !ants to connect they 7ust have to turn on their radio and push the channel button and turn up the volume. "t may be more accurate to say that the RM lets the installer in and holds the toolbo+ !hile the !ork is done. Many teachers refer to placing symbols in the aura. This is done automatically during the attunement and needn=t be specified. "t is not the same as activating energetic forms like the solar disk and causal heart that are already naturally in the aura. " also find that it is not putting things in the aura that is the issue but getting un!anted things out as almost everyone can and does create energy forms and thought forms and many people are !ondering around 1uite un!ittingly sticking them into others energy fields all the time these forms can block the natural flo! of energy then they do need to be removed. $ome times during an attunement you may see or feel forms being removed. 0ld shields around the heart to prevent emotional involvement seem to be 1uite commonly removed during Reiki #ttunements. Ritual and attunement The degree of ritual and ceremony accompanying Reiki attunement varies from almost none to ma7or productions involving smudging !ith sage5 chanting5 bell ringing 5 drumming 5 speaking in tongues and great formality. " am pretty lo! key ritual !ise myself. The primary method " use for attunement is the direct transmission or cro!n to cro!n attunement !hich is very simple and 1uite effective. " have also used a fairly standard ritual attunement techni1ue and !ill share several different versions of attunements that you can choose from or adapt. "t is kind of a !ell kno!n secret that !hatever ritual or ceremonial form you use to conduct the attunement it !ill !ork provided your intention is set and the recipients accept the attunement. The structure you use should be one that is appropriate and comfortable for you and your 10

Peggy Jentoft
students. 'uring the attunement it is intended that the recipient- attunee be connected to the energies and that they be able to access the energies by using the symbols or by intention. The intention of the master connecting to the flo! of Reiki confers the ability to use the Reiki functions. rather than the actual ceremony or dra!ing of the symbols in the aura. 9our class and your attunement should have a clear beginning5 middle and end. &efore the #ttunement Many Reiki teachers !ill clear and 2 or charge the energy of the room !ith Reiki before the students arrive and the class begins. "f it is part of their o!n personal path they may have invited angels5 ascended masters5 guides 5 placed a healing grid or gate!ay in the room and so on to support the most complete and perfect class and attunement possible. They might have said prayers or done meditation or a self treatment !ith Reiki in accord !ith their o!n path of practice. "n any case the Reiki teacher should have and set the intention to conduct the most complete and suitable class and to successfully intend to attune and teach the students to be fully competent practitioners at the level of the class training. " tend to think that if this has been done before the class there is not much need to do it again 7ust before the #ttunement. $ome Reiki masters perform elaborate opening rituals before the attunement such as casting a circle5 or smudging !ith sage5 toning and chanting these are not re1uired or Part of Usui Reiki. "t no! seems that Usui $ensei may have 7oined his students in reciting the Reiki principles and singing some inspirational poems together before classes. ?rom my first hand e+perience5 this kind of thing seems like a pretty common practice in varied Japanese cultural activities including spiritual5 social events5 !ork and cooking 5 art and music lessons. 9ou !ill !ant to see to everyone=s comfort and assure that they have chosen to come to the class to be attuned and understand !hat !ill be taking place during the class. " prefer to keep things 1uite simple and often do not even play music or infuse the air !ith essential oil anymore 3or burn incense4. /enerally the attunement is done or begun fairly early in the class period after some introduction because much of the instruction5 symbols and practice is easier to learn after the attunement than before. 9ou !ill !ant to e+plain !hat might be e+perienced during the attunement. 0ffer some preliminary information about attunement in general and 11
Reiki Master Manual
Peggy Jentoft
e+plain !hat the specific attunement !ill do. "f you are doing a hands on attunement tell the students !here you !ill touch them. Remind everyone that they need to accept the attunement !illingly and that the attunement !ill make them permanently able to connect !ith and use Reiki at the level of the attunement. 9ou might !ant to have a break for a snack or lunch before the attunement so participants !on=t be distracted by hunger or thirst and certainly everyone should have a chance to use the rest room before you start. "f you are doing a direct intention attunement you !ill probably be attuning everyone at the same time. "f you are doing a ritual attunement you !ill probably attune one person at a time and !ill !ant to decide if you !ill take each person into a different area one at a time or have the people !ho are !aiting or !ho have already been attuned sit around in a meditative type state of participation and !hether you !ant them to keep their eyes open some of the time or to keep their eyes closed. 9ou might !ant to play some music if you are going to have a bunch of people sitting around !aiting for you to finish attunements. There are three different attunement rituals in this section and a fe! more at the end of the manual. Passing Reiki #ttunement by 'irect "ntention Reiki attunements are usually passed during a ritual. This manual contains several variations of attunement rituals. #ttunements allo! us to access energy functions that it !ould other!ise take many years of practice to be able to use. The method of attunement featured first here is the direct transmission or cro!n to cro!n attunement. This is probably the simplest of all attunement methods. This is the one " use most often. 'irect intention is used for attunement in many different energy and healing systems and is perhaps more like Mikao Usui=s reali6ation of Reiki through spirit than like the ritual attunements most often used for Reiki in the ,est. " have been given credit or blame5 3depending on your attitude4 for some!hat inadvertently introducing this method to the general population of Reiki Masters. The simplest form of the direct attunement is to #ctivate all Reiki functions5 set your intention to attune the person or persons to a specific level of Reiki and allo! the attunement to run to completion 7ust as you might do a remote healing session. There are a great many !ays to set your intention. The Reiki Teacher and the student !ill usually sit in chairs facing each other or as part of a circle5 or the student may lie do!n on a massage table or another comfortable location. People could get up and move around during the attunement or even leave the area 12
Reiki Master Manual
Peggy Jentoft
and still receive the full attunement. "t is preferable to receive the attunement !hile in a 1uiet meditative receptive state. Most people sit comfortably !ith their eyes closed and their hands 3 often palm up!ards4 on their laps or held in a praying hands position at the heart or throat. The teacher may specify the Reiki level to be attuned or for e+ample simply ask that the $tudent receive those energies that are in their %ighest /ood and in accord !ith their $oul Purpose. The Teacher !ill activate the energies by intention and then activate the #ttunement by intention. the energies !ill flo! into the teacher=s and the student=s cro!n *hakras and Run until it is done clearing blocks 5 opening channels and connecting the energies 5 permanently enabling the student to run Reiki. " often set the intention that they be able to run Reiki and other energies and energy functions and procedures that they may already have or that they get later by intention 5 !ith and !ithout using the Mantras and symbols traditionally used in Reiki5 or the Mantras5 Mudras5 breath techni1ues etc. that are used in other systems. This offers the ability to use Reiki to people !ho are unable to activate Reiki !ith the traditional Methods. #nother advantage !hen you intend to give the ability to activate the energies automatically5 !ith or !ithout symbols if appropriate is that Reiki can be run more 1uickly !hen speed is of importance. The .nergies are the same 7ust the activation method is different. &ut you can set the intention as you !ant respecting the students right to receive only !hat serves their highest good of course. These attunements are " feel directed by The #LL. The teacher 7ust opens the channel and grounds the energies. The 'irect or cro!n to cro!n attunement pretty much runs itself once activated and the procedure can be as simple as activating all Reiki functions and stating or mentally intending to attune a specific individual to a specific level of Reiki and allo!ing the attunement to run to completion. for e+ample ;Reiki for attunement5 attune 3name4 to Reiki level one ; could be the mental intention. %o!ever " do prefer to use use a more detailed intention and process. 0nce you activate the energy and the attunement by intention either !ith or !ithout consciously using the symbols5 the energies !ill flo! into your cro!n chakra and flo! throughout your body also flo!ing to or crossing to the to the student=s #ura it !ill run until it is done clearing blocks 5 opening channels and connecting the energies and permanently enabling the student to use Reiki themselves. #l!ays intend that the attunement be in accord !ith the soul purpose and highest good of the recipient.

More ritual attunement pro e!ures are gi"en at t#e en! of t#e manual Remote #ttunement Just as you can do Reiki treatments for people any!here in the !orld it is possible for #ttunement to be done over great distances. Remote attunement does enable recipients to run Reiki but !ill not substitute for classes5 hands on e+perience and training taken in person. Reiki is simple but not so simple that one need not apply themselves to learning the system. Many people !ho are dedicated motivated self starters have become competent Reiki practitioners after remote attunement. People !ho have family !ellness emergencies might benefit from a remote attunement to give more confidence to their efforts at hands on and spiritual healing !ith only minimal training. &ut in the long term and to really be a Reiki practitioner most people do much better !ith a class taken in person. Participating in Reiki circle shares and discussions is one !ay to round out your Reiki e+perience. 'eveloping the light touch and kno!ing ho! to be sure that you are using Reiki and not your o!n energy is easier to learn in person for most people. There are opportunities in many cities for practitioners to meet and treat each other and practice. There are also many e-mail discussion lists dedicated to Reiki and Reiki training. Reiki masters have a responsibility to ensure as much as possible that their students really do have an understanding of the basic skills and ethics of healing practice. Remote attunement can be valuable in emergency situations such as !hen someone in a remote area has a specific urgent need to be able to use Reiki. 20

There are other energy !ork systems that " feel are more suited to remote attunement because they do not involve specific hand positions or symbols and are more concerned !ith self healing and spiritual evolution and so do not re1uire as much information about ethics and practice giving treatments as Reiki should. ,hen " do send remote attainments " use the direct intention method. " connect energetically !ith the recipient as though connected by cords of light and allo! the attunement to run. Most Reiki Masters combine the remote healing techni1ue of using a pro+y and give the attunement in person to the pro+y !hile intending that it go to the recipient. " !as a pioneer in using remote attunement for Reiki 5 adapting a techni1ue from other systems of energy !ork. Remote #ttunement and 'irect transmission both in person and at distance is an ancient and respected !ay of transmitting elements of spiritual a!akening 5 !isdom 5 information or spiritual abilities bet!een teachers and to others. This is !ell kno!n in some &uddhist paths. There are references and description of his transmission or initiation of an opening of the inner eyes to a follo!er in a letter from icheren !ho !as a Tien Tai priest before founding his o!n sect from around ))BF -))FA " am sure there are older records of this because he !as not !riting about a ne! practice. %o!ever it !as probably never so broadly used as has been recently true !ith Reiki most of the records refer to transmissions 2 initiations 2attunements2 openings either to devoted follo!ers at great distance or to transfer the mantel of leadership. The transmission is not the system and !as never meant to be a substitute for the ;consistent faith5 practice and study ; of the precepts and practices of the particular spiritual school from !hich the transmission came or personal contact !ith a teacher and a community of e+perience. ,hether you are attuned by remote attunement or in a class setting 9ou are responsible for your o!n practice5 study and personal development as a Reiki Practitioner or Master. " certainly !ould hope that no one practices remote attunement or remote healing e+clusively. "f they do it should probably not be called traditional Reiki. The direct contact and communication bet!een practitioners and teachers5 friends and clients is invaluable in maintaining the undiluted clarity of a teaching even !hile allo!ing for evolution and gro!th. There are some circumstances !here remote attunement provides a life saving tool for healing and happiness5 Particularly for self and family. ,hen " first used remote transmission of Reiki attunement it !as only as a prelude to direct training and attunement for t!o dedicated relatives !ho !ere unable to stay in my area long enough to receive the attunements in person on the timetable recommended and for one !ho=s 21

attunement or even leave the area and still receive the full attunement. Most people do prefer to be in a 1uiet meditative receptive state for the attunements and often sit !ith closed eyes 5 !ith hands palm up!ards on their laps 2knees or held in a praying hands position. ?or an absentee attunement the time is agreed upon in advance5 if possible the student !ill try to be in a receptive and accepting or eager to receive mental state5 although it is not absolutely necessary that the student be paying attention or even be a!ake to get the attunement. /etting the #ttunement absentee does re1uire that the recipient commit enough study time to learn and master the techni1ues on their o!n. Reiki is an intuitive practice but studying the material thoroughly gives intuition a place to start from. The most common challenge of remote #ttunement is helping the recipient learn to turn on and kno! that they are running the Reiki. $ome people are e+pecting rather more dramatic effects than do occur and may have difficulty sensing the subtle energy !hen they do activate it. The() 'ay *leansing *ycle Many Reiki students come to class very concerned about the possibility of severe deto+ification after the attunement because they have heard about # () day cleansing cycle. " find such reactions to be so rare as to be virtually none+istent for most of the people " attune. " %ave heard that this cycle !as not specifically mentioned by Usui $ensei but is found in some ,estern metaphysical systems. "t is more accurate to say that !hen you are attuned your personal healing begins immediately. This sometimes sho!s up as symptoms of physical or emotional release such as an e+cess of /as5 diarrhea or moodiness. This has been called deto+ification. most people do not have noticeable effects of this kind. $ome people report a lot of emotional processing for up to 8 !eeks or () days after an attunement. $ome people report having unusually vivid dreams 7ust after the attunement. #nyone getting Reiki treatments and or attunements is encouraged to drink lots of !ater. This often reduces or eliminates any so called deto+ification symptoms. .veryone should be reminded that in some cases the release of to+ins or energetic or physical realignments !ill cause them to feel !orse for a small time before they feel better. $ome people may feel some!hat uncomfortable !hen chronic physical 5 emotional or mental conditions are alleviated because they are unaccustomed to feeling !ell. #nyone !ho has a deto+ification reaction is encouraged to self treat !ith Reiki often and to contact their Reiki teacher for help. #ny severe or continuing unusual 23

discomfort should be referred to an appropriate medical professional because it may not have any relationship to the attunement at all. $ometimes normal reactions to events that occur and emotions that surface during the period 7ust after attunement are attributed to deto+ification !hen they might really be simply a freer e+pression and a!areness of feelings that can be an effect of attunement. *leansing cycles or a period of change or deto+ification and integration of the energies or transformations is not e+clusive to Reiki but may occur during any ma7or shift of life or spiritual practices. 0r even as part of the normal reaction to events in your daily life5 $uch as ad7usting to a ne! 7ob. Many different spiritual traditions as !ell as some psychologists teach that it usually takes about ( !eeks to 8A days to make any real lasting change in behavior. Many attunements from other systems also mention a similar cycle of days !hile an energy or transformation integrates completely. $ome teach that The first seven days is focused on personal issues and physical and emotional development. The second !eek focuses more on relationships and community issues and mental integration. The last !eek is ?ocused on divine or spiritual transformation and ad7ustment. The cycle affects the body. ,hen the session or attunement ends this cycle begins. $ome of the changes and insights learned along the !ay may take longer to fully manifest5 or integrate but the first () days is considered a very important part in this process by many. $ymptoms attributed to deto+ification can include e+cess /as 5 colds and emotional mood s!ings ho!ever normally these are rare and not severe !hen they do occur. This chart is one version from a very old metaphysical book " actually think that the concept of the t!enty-one day period may come from non Japanese sources perhaps !e could simply say that obstacles and karma may come up !hen you make positive changes.

This cycle also applies to a cycle of integration of energies from the seven rays of creation but this is far too comple+ and esoteric for this Reiki manual. My students have not usually reported difficulties !ith deto+ification themselves or !ith their students. $tudents are asked to inform the Reiki Master if they do have severe or unusual reactions after the attunement. The Reiki teacher may recommend that students come in for several days of individual treatment in cases of severe deto+ification.

The attitude that people only value !hat they pay for vs the attitude that spiritual energies are a gift from /od and must in honor be free. These being only a fe! of the components in this issue.

" do suggest that !e all strive to put aside our preconceptions on this issue and be truly fair. "t is important that no one feel abused or used. " also do not think it is fair to castigate someone as being greedy if they !ant a fair payment for the time and energy and !ork they do even if you !ish that the service !as free. " also !onder that so many people feel that their o!n health 5 happiness spiritual evolution is not !orth even a modest cost for a class or treatment. Part of the e+change issue for both students and teachers and practitioners is ho! much !e love and respect ourselves. #ny e+change should be fair 5 e1uitable and acceptable to all parties involved. "t often does seen that people use and appreciate Reiki more if they have made some kind of contribution of their energy and resources and have helped to cover the cost to the practitioner of providing the time 5 site5 training 5 materials and personal effort for the class or treatment. Many Reiki Masters !ho began by offering free attunement find that they cannot continue to do so because the actual cost to them of manuals5 other materials 5 childcare and so on is too great a burden on their families. 0ddly "t is also true that some of the very people !ho are most insistent that #ttunement should be free also feel that ;you get !hat you pay for ;.

Reiki .thics for professional practice aturally at the Master level .thics are very important. The Teaching Master is not a /uru or holy person and should not e+pect devotion from students. *osts and training should be provided in a complete and e1uitable !ay and promised training should be given as contracted for.
