All attunements, in my opinion, whether received from a Reiki Master in person or from a distance, work for the same reason.
Reiki Attunements work through the Reiki Master, but only because the student has already opened herself to her Higher Potential. She has said to herself, "I am ready to learn Reiki, I am ready to take control of my life, I want to help myself and my family and friends, I am ready to relearn the gift that was given to me when I was born."
Why Reiki Attunements work:
- Intention
- Desire
- Commitment
- Awareness
- Remembrance
- And most importantly - through our connection with each other and with God/Goddess/Spirit, etc.
If someone tells you that distance attunements don't work:
- Ask him how many he has tried.
- Ask her if she has had one herself.
- Ask him why he believes they don't work.
- Ask her if she believes in the unlimited power of the human mind and soul.
- And finally, ask him if he believes that Reiki is limited by space or time.
It is not my goal to put anyone's methods down. I believe that hands-on attunements work just as well as distance attunements and I do not claim to have some kind of special attunement procedure.
If you are looking for a Reiki Master in your area, we have an International Directory of Natural Healers. These are not just Reiki practitioners, but healers from many different modalities.
If you come across a Reiki Master who puts down anyone else's methods of teaching or attuning, ask yourself:
- "Is this what Reiki is about?"
- Why does this Reiki Master believe that she has all of the answers?
- Do these answers sit well with you?
Reiki is about Love, Healing, & Compassion, not about Competition!
