All the time we are finding out more about all the many forms of self attunement that are going around now, most of them are given on by an email or a web page and in doing so they are in some way giving permission for another person to use their method.
In the beginning when we were introduced to Reiki, we were all told and had accepted until a little while ago, that you couldn't receive Reiki in any other manner than through a personal or distant attunement, which had to be carried out by a certified Reiki-Master, which could prove their lineage back to Dr. Usui. This was also true in my case, I received this Usui attunement the 'old fashioned' way and have the certificate, which proves my lineage back to Dr. Usui.
Well, times have changed and we now know better. We've all heard the various stories of spontaneous attunements and of the many times, when a distant Reiki healing or attunement had been forgotten by the Reiki-Master who was supposed to send it, yet the recipient received it just the same!
Considering the fact that the connection to Reiki seems to have more to do with the intention of the recipient, rather than anything that the Reiki-Master does, we now have realized that people can attune themselves to all levels of Reiki and can do it as easily and as effectively and as permanently as the method of being attuned by someone else. Some even say that the self attunement method is purer as the energy is not stepped down by passing through another person first. I don't know whether this is right or wrong but it's worth thinking about.
And although this might be true for the attunements and even with treatments of human beings, in treating plants or animals (or even machines for that matter) this could not be the case, because they do not consciously intend to receive the treatments.
Anyway, to carry out a Reiki self attunement is quite simple. All you need is the ability and time to meditate, 20/30 minutes or so where you can carry out the process without any interruptions and the willingness to accept Reiki. Although, even when you are interrupted, the attunement process will still go on by itself.
For the first level attunement you will be using the first Reiki symbol, the Cho-ku-rei and you will be drawing the symbol out a few times during the attunement.
The best method of course to do this would be by memorizing the symbol and how to draw it, but for starters it would also be alright if you have it written down once on paper and remember what it looks like. In the future you will use this symbol all the time and you will remember how to draw and use it very fast. You will also find the description of the drawing movements in the text of the meditation. This symbol can of course also be found in the Reiki Manual for level 1 and many other places on the internet.
Just for convenience I have included a picture of the Cho-ku-rei symbol here on the page.
During this meditation you might want to play some relaxing music in the background, have some candles lit, or burn some incense, anything that feels right to you. And/or anything that gives you a real feeling for a ritual that is important in your life. You might even like to have a bath or shower beforehand as a kind of cleansing ritual.None of these things are strictly necessary for the process to work, but it can help to get you into a receptive frame of mind.
You might want to say a prayer or invocation if that feels right to you too.
Something like: I now ask my higher self to assist me into performing this Reiki self attunement, to allow me to be in perfect state to receive this attunement and allow this natural flow of energy to come to me.
So let's just Start.
First cleanse the energy in the room by drawing out the Cho-ku-rei symbol in the air.
For Cho-ku-rei you draw a horizontal line from left to right, then a vertical line down and then an inward spiral starting to the right and up, then left and down, etc.
Then draw the Cho-ku-rei symbol on to the palms of your hands; a horizontal line from left to right, then a vertical line down and then an inward spiral starting to the right and up, then left and down, etc.
Then draw the Cho-ku-rei symbol on all of your chakras .
Starting on your crown chakra you draw a line from left to right, then down and the inward spiral to the right.
Second on your 3rd eye chakra, from left to right, down and the spiral.
Third on your throat chakra, from left to right, down and the spiral.
Fourth on your heart chakra, from left to right, down and the spiral.
Fifth on your solar plexus chakra, from left to right, down and the spiral.
Sixth on your sacral chakra, from left to right, down and the spiral.
An seventh on your root chakra, from left to right, down and the spiral.
And finally draw one large Cho-ku-rei symbol over the front of your body, from left to right, down and the spiral.
Then sit comfortably with your back straight and your hands in prayer position.
Now use whatever relaxation techniques that you are comfortable with, for instance; just take a few deep and slow breaths, this will relax you without much effort in a very short period of time, just concentrate on slowly breathing in for about 7 counts, hold for 4 counts and slowly breathe out again for 7 counts, preferably through your mouth. Remember to breathe into your stomach and belly and not just in your chest.
In your mind you state your intention that you want to give yourself a Reiki level 1 Self Attunement . You can ask for help and guidance from any known or unknown guides, angels, ascended masters, spirit helpers, including your higher self or indeed anyone that you feel comfortable with and that you would like to assist you in the process.
When you are relaxed and ready:-
You imagine and see in your mind the crown chakra on the top of your head as a beautiful white lotus flower (or something similar), which now begins to open up, petal by petal. When you feel that it is open enough, then visualize a golden white light coming down from the heavens, a broad shining channel, which enters your crown chakra and fills it with golden white light. This light fills your whole head.
Then picture the golden white light moving down and filling your brow chakra and flooding it with light.
Then bring it down to your throat chakra, flooding it with light.
Then bring it down to your solar plexus chakra, flooding it with light.
Then bring it down to your sacral chakra, flooding it with light.
And finally down to your root chakra, flooding it with light.
After bringing the golden white light down into all your chakras filling them all with golden white light, you will allow the light fill up your entire body, arms, legs and feet, so that you are sitting filled entirely with golden white light.
As you breathe in and out, you feel the light permeating out of all the pores of your body and spreading out all around you and into infinity.
Then when you are ready, it is time to bring down the Cho-ku-rei symbol from the heavens above you, through the golden white channel of light and down into your crown chakra.
First, imagine the Cho-ku-rei symbol coming down from above and entering your crown chakra (say Cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your crown chakra).
Then visualize the Cho-ku-rei moving down inside of your head through to the brow chakra, (again say Cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your brow chakra), then down to the throat chakra, (again say Cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your throat chakra) and down to the heart chakra, (again say Cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your heart chakra), down to the solar plexus chakra, (again say Cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your solar plexus chakra), down to the sacral chakra, (again say Cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your sacral chakra) and all the way down through to the root chakra (again say Cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your root chakra). Visualize this as a red ball of fire with the Cho-ku-rei swirling around inside it.
When the Cho-ku-rei symbol is situated in your root chakra, then open your hands and place them like an opened book in front of you.
Now visualize the Cho-ku-rei symbol again, see it situated over your palms (say the name three times) and watch it as it disappears inside your palms.
When this is completed I want you to bring your attention to the back of your neck, just at the base of your skull.
Visualize a small door in the back of your neck, which you are going to seal permanently as a symbol of the permanency of the attunement.
This door is golden in color and you should visualize it being sealed for ever in a manner that makes sense to you. It can be done with a golden key locking the door and then melting the key into the door so that it becomes an integral part of the door which can never be removed, or a small golden padlock being closed and disappearing into the door so that it cannot be seen, or any other sealing method that you like.
Finally visualize the Cho-ku-rei drawn over the door and affirm :
I now seal this Reiki level 1 attunement with divine intent for now and all time.
The attunement is now finished and you have successfully attuned yourself to Reiki!
Read it over a few times first so that you get the gist of whats happening during the process don't worry if you start and then forget what you were doing halfway through! Just stop and start again, no problem! You can use this self attunement meditation as often as you like. In fact it is recommended that you do the attunement meditation a few times as it will enforce the energies within you.
Start doing your self healing as soon as you can after your attunement. Some people feel the Reiki flow immediately, others take a little longer. The way to get it flowing strongly and noticeably is to use it and often!
These instructions can also be put on any kind of audio to make it easier to follow the directions in meditation.
If you do not want to go through the process of recording this, I have made an MP3 of this meditation with some relaxing sounds in the background and you can download this for the small fee of $7,-
Just use one of the payment buttons down here.
I will also send you the manual for Reiki level 1 along with the MP3, so you will really learn how and when to use it.
Remember, you do not need this to have the proper effect of this attunement meditiation.
Feel free to share this with anyone who is interested.
My wish for the whole world is that everybody lives in unconditional love and absolute prosperity and if I can do anything to help to achieve this I will be ever so happy.
Love and prosperity to you all,
Mary-Ann.
