Reiki Distance Attunements...Do They Work?

11/18/2018

24 Comments

There are some Reiki professionals who frown upon distance attunements because they feel as though the Master is not able to transfer their energy efficiently to the student and therefore the student will not be able to adequately perform healing Reiki sessions. There are many different ways that Reiki Masters who teach online courses are performing distance attunements and some of those methods are more effective than others. In this article, I will discuss some of the distance attunements that are currently being performed and which method I feel to be the most effective. 

Non-specific, pre-filmed or pre-performed attunements

When reading negative articles or comments about distance Reiki attunements, this is normally the form of attunement they are referring to. In this scenario, the Reiki Master performs an attunement at the time they put together their online course, CD course or written course and send that attunement out into the universe so that their students can pick up on it when they are ready. Obviously this type of attunement is very non-specific and while I can not say that it is completely un-effective, I do personally believe that it is one of the least effective methods. 

Non-specific group attunements

During these distance attunements, the Reiki Master will normally pick a specific day and time that they perform their attunements every week. For example, it could be every Monday at 6 pm. The students who choose to tune in to the attunements at that time can do so. There is not direct communication between the Master and student. While these are not completely ineffective (many students experience waves of energy and other sensations during the attunement), I personally feel as though this is not the most effective way to perform a distant attunement. 

Specific, individual, scheduled attunements

This is the method of distance attunement that I utilize and in my opinion it is the most effective way to perform a Reiki distance attunement. When a student is ready to schedule their attunement, they contact me and we choose a time and day that works for both of us. Immediately before the attunement begins, I contact the student to make sure they are ready and I also contact them immediately following the attunement to let them know it is completed. Similar to performing a Reiki distance healing session, I utilize the distance symbol (Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen) to project my energy to the student. I focus on their name and location to better hone in on them. The student is in a relaxed, meditative state and receptive and open to the energy I am sending. I follow a specific attunement protocol which varies depending on the level of attunement I am performing. I also utilize crystals to enhance the effects of the sessions (the crystals are chosen based on the student I am attuning). This is a very specific process, which in my opinion (which is based on the feedback I receive from students along with my intuition) is the most effective way to perform a distance Reiki attunement. 

Is there a right way?

Some Reiki Masters will say yes, but in my opinion there is not a right or wrong way to perform a Reiki attunement. Every student processes energy differently and will therefore have a different experience. There is not a right or wrong way to experience a Reiki attunement and the effectiveness of an attunement will always be subjective in nature. My personal belief is that if the Master and student both have the same intent, are focused on what they want to accomplish during the attunement and are open and positive, the desired results will happen.

What do you think? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and received all my attunements in person. I am not sure how I feel about a distance attunement. I believe I would prefer an attunement in person.

My mom was a Reiki Master. Because of her I am a solid believer in long distance attunement. People came from as far away as Japan and Australia in hopes I would give them a teaspoon of her ashes. I have taken 4 courses so far with Dr Barbara and I already feel connected to her on a higher level. So I look forward to taking this course, and I really hope I can do for animals what my mom did for people.

You might be interested to know that I am a Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner for 22 years and Reiki Distance Healing has picked up in a way l didn't expect it to happen all because I was confronted with my friend who contracted Covid19 and didn't know what to do. On the same day of testing positive for Covid19 her daughter brutally attacked with a hammer to the back of her head loosing an eye.

Yes l channeled Reiki Distance to my friends daughter who now in a coma. On the 7th day l consulted my friend if l could attune her to Reiki l with intentions of raising her vibrations to sync with Reiki Distance Healing sessions l send 4 times a day 3 hrs.

Yes l attuned my friends daughter who is still in a coma resting in ICU.

Yes l believe in Reiki Distance Attunements. The intentions is always for the recipients benefit and no harm is caused.

I am a reiki master. I've been train one on one. I've also been attuned trough youtube. Both attunements have been effective and I could feel the reiki energy working in me.

If you believe in reiki, why not extend your belief to distant attunement. If you don't believe it works, how can you believe distant reiki healing works. I believe pure intent is recorded and transfered. G-d bless.

I am a Level 2 practitioner and have come upon this disagreement online in different formats. I understand one's issue with a distance attunement but had to pose the question, "If a full on distance healing session can be done, then what makes an attunement with someone you resonate with so different?"

I can definitely understand issue with pre-recorded because it isn't personalized like I feel it ought to be, but an individual distance attunement is no different in my mind because energy is energy and imposing limitations on energy does not make sense to me.

I am a Reiki master and have only done attunements one on one, however, am doing a distant attunement for my student tomorrow due to the pandemic.
I emailed the site owner here for any helpful advice they could offer and would welcome comments from others. (I do have a basic format sketched out, but again, attunement by distance is new to me.

Hi Brenda, I use a different crystal to represent each Chakra and send the symbols and energy to each crystal (chakra). Hope that helps. Best wishes.

I am doing the very same thing in two weeks! How did it go for you? part of me wants to wait; however, my Reiki I student is ready and I think Reiki II would be beneficial for her during this pandemic; yet, I am unsure about attuning distantly. Thanks for getting back to me how it went for you. Light and Love, Sharon :)

Hi Brenda, curious how the distance attunement went for your student? Was it as effective as in person?

I agreed with the author. Distance Reiki Healing always works and I got the amazing benefits from the healing therapy.

Hi, I’m very interested in learning Animal Reiki. I’m already a Reiki master for several years. Would like to know if I need to learn Reiki level 1-3 in order to complete your Animal Reiki course. Thank you.

Hello Ako, Thanks for your interest! Yes, you would still have to complete our full program because we have information specific to treating animals in each level. I also recommend repeating your attunements because I use a symbol that helps you connect with animals at a deeper level. We actually have quite a few Reiki practitioners who take this course. Looking forward to having you in the program!

I'm at Reiki 1 of the Usui Reiki Ryoho. To believe the distance attunements won't work in my view is to say the distance healing also won't work. What matters is the intention of both the Master and the Teacher, if they both are on the right mind and above all, feeling it will work, otherwise, it won't. Time and Space are just an illusion.

I am a Reiki Master and have been teaching in person since 2014. However, spirit is guiding me to get an online course up and running.

I do distance Reiki and crystal healings as well and can pick up information which I then pass onto my client with great feedback but I have never done a distant attunement before, hence, searching for some ideas.

Dr Angel, your comment further up about using the crystals to represent each chakra sounds like a fantastic idea. Thank you so much. This resonates with me and I can see that unfolding for distant attunements now. Wonderful. Thanks again

I am a reiki master and was also trained for animal reiki by SARA. With COVID I have been rethinking my resistance to distant reiki attunements especially in light of the distant reiki healing attunements. My biggest concerns you articulated so well in your 'non-specific' descriptions. I whole heartedly agree that the attunement with connection and intention between the attuner and the attunee has potential. Now I am off to the shelter to provide massage and exchange reiki with the animals! ;-)

Hi
I searched for this debate after reading many negative comments on distance Reiki attunements, saying their not valid, that you can’t get insurance to practice without a 1:1 attunement etc.
I have no doubt about the validity myself. Dr Usui didn’t have a Reiki master present when he received the symbols on the mountain right?
But the question of not being able to get valid insurance does concern me. Does anyone know if this is correct please?
Thank you in advance 🙏

Hey when I got my insurance they didn’t ask if it’s in person. They ask for certificates. Where are you based? You can contact my insurer if you wish. Let me know :)

Hi Sharon

Thank you so much for clarifying that.

I’m not at the stage of running a business yet, but really appreciate your offer of help.

Thank you 🙏

To my knowledge there are no laws governing Animal Reiki treatments - as there are with other forms of animal bodywork, so insurance it not needed when performing Animal Reiki.

I am level 2 reiki had had both done face to face and to be honest I don’t understand why organisation’s don’t recognise distance attunements when they recognise distance healing seems a bit hypocritical to me. If you can receive distance healing then why not attunement
