WHAT TO DO AFTER THE FIRST DEGREE REIKI INITIATION

 

 

«The traditional First Degree attunement consists of four ceremonies, or initiations. These practices always constitute the irreplaceable foundation of the Reiki method. Anyone who believes they are practicing Reiki without having received them is, in reality, only working with personal energy. The First Degree attunements are simple ceremonies shared with the Reiki Master, who—using cosmic symbols, visualization practices, and applying their intent—"purifies and illuminates" the Reiki channels. These are not mysterious procedures or occult magical practices: the occult has absolutely nothing to do with Reiki!»

WHAT TO DO AFTER THE FIRST DEGREE REIKI INITIATION

 

 

The Vibrational Transformation and Realignment

 

«From the moment you become an active Reiki channel through the First Degree attunement, you can experience the effects of the energy in various ways, feeling how it flows and works within you.

Touch things with attention and listen in a relaxed state. By treating yourself, other people, animals, plants, minerals, food, water, medicines, and various other things, you will gradually experience conscious sensitivity and new potentials for awareness.

You increasingly feel the energy of others, environments, and places, and your psychic sensitivity (6th chakra) manifests through a marked increase in intuitive abilities.

Regarding the natural process of sensitization activated by Reiki, it should be noted that it is a process that occurs in any case, but its evidence remains subjective and also depends on the actual degree of openness of mind—but especially of heart—demonstrated by each person. And, of course, on the absence of preconceived expectations.

At the same time, more intense and conscious perceptions of reality, as well as phenomena of acute intuition, should be received with humility and balance, rather than being pursued with the stubborn obsession of having to feel something immediately at any cost.

 

 

 

What to Do After the First Degree Reiki Attunement

 

After receiving the First Degree Reiki attunement, it is advisable to engage in energy exchanges with another Reiki practitioner (giving and receiving four treatments, each lasting one hour).

These four exchanges on consecutive days help to support the purification process (on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels) that began when you became an active Reiki channel.

In the time between each exchange, I recommend taking a bath in warm water (dissolving 1 kg of coarse salt). At the very least, take the bath that concludes the cycle of exchanges!

Any physical or emotional reactions to the energy are temporary phenomena. The Reiki teacher is available for any necessary clarifications.

 

 

For those who find themselves unable to perform the four consecutive exchanges, an alternative is to do at least half an hour of self-treatment daily for the first 1-3 weeks.

Thereafter, the daily practice of self-treatment is clearly advisable as well as extremely beneficial. For the peace and benefits that this practice brings, it is often seen as a pleasure rather than a duty.»
