I did some research on peoples reactions to the “cleanse” or
detox they go through after a Reiki attunement.
What I found most intriguing is that so many people reported having
bowel issues. I don’t know if they
were too embarrassed to tell me this
before or just figured it was just part and parcel of the cleanse (hence the
name), but many of my students had not shared this information with me
previously. I didn’t make a big deal
about this particular side effect in class either, which rules out
auto-suggestion.
So if you wanted proof that an attunement elicits a cleanse,
talk to all of these people who are reporting this side effect with theirs. Others reported a lot of fatigue, being
unusually emotional, feeling ungrounded, mild headaches and feeling angry and
crabby.
Also, many people come to me to retake Reiki training for
several reasons. One they may have moved
here from another area and only took Level
One or Two (I & II) from a teacher where they used to live and wish
to move up a level or two through me, or they were very unhappy with their
local teacher and wish to continue their training with somebody else and have
chosen me. I require that they be
re-attuned to whatever levels of training they’ve already had and retake all
the classes they’ve already gone through, to bring them up to speed with the
way I do things, and the information I bring to the table, at a greatly reduced
rate. Then they can go on and advance to
the next level/s they want to through me.
The main reason I require them to retake all the levels they’ve
already been trained to is that we give 5 symbols at Level II in both my
lineages (how my teachers and I trace our connection back to the originator of
Usui Reiki, Dr. Mikao Usui), and many other teachers only give 3 (the three traditional
Usui Reiki symbols). We also give two
more at Level IIIa (Master Practitioner), which again is particular to both my
teachers lineages, and another at Level IIIb (Master Teacher). I have also added a lot of things into my
Reiki classes that you won’t get anywhere else.
People being re-attuned report going through another cleanse
and having amazing shifts and even deeper levels of understanding, like
incredible insights into very old issues they’ve struggled with for
decades. Definitely the re-attunements
are rocking their world and opening their eyes to changes they need to make in
order to be more aligned with their souls purpose (soul contract/a persons “task”
this lifetime, etc.).
Additionally, many of my clients have reported bowel issues
after Reiki sessions, something I wasn’t aware was that common, but apparently
it is. Six months later or even a year
or so later they might mention it to me in passing but didn’t bring it up when
it happened, again assuming it was just to be expected, but I had not mentioned
that it was a possibility.
