Shadow Wolf explains more about how the attunement works and the GRMA approach to empowerment through Reiki. In ancient times long since past, those desiring knowledge did all but sell their souls to the Masters of particular teachings. Each was forced to leave their worldly possessions and enter into a long term subservient position to gain the knowledge held so close to the chosen Master. The Master would pass his knowledge in small bits over long periods of time and this kept his students waiting in anticipation for each morsel. Had they but known it, the true secrets they were seeking already lay within their higher consciousness. Today even greater knowledge is available without such devotion. Starting with the basic idea in Reiki that the system of Reiki {Reiki is a system and not a specific energy } is one which even a child can do, because it is so simple and requires absolutely no special beliefs in religious or spiritual matters or medical knowledge, we will address the aspect of how one becomes empowered or able to utilize this Energy which is referred to as the Life Force. First you should understand that many people do energy work who have never heard of the Reiki system, or have heard of it but have not as yet become initiated into it. Is their energy work less than that of Reiki practitioners? Absolutely not ! Is it easier for them to do than Reiki? Most likely not, as most other methods demand concentration and other forms of mental exercises and techniques, while Reiki requires only the act of reaching out and touching someone you wish to help in their healing process. The Reiki system opens the individual to energy work through an initiation or ritual or blessing which is traditionally presented by what is called a Reiki Master Teacher. An initiation is a process where someone of authority gives permission to another, normally through some form of ritual, to perform a function they previously could not, or thought they could not, perform. In the Reiki system the Master/Teacher was taught that the actual permission to perform Reiki came not from them but from a Higher Power. and that they merely act as a formal connection {channel}. Yet somewhere along the way some have decided that they could control that Higher Power and direct it to provide less than the true empowerment to the receiver. They decided they had the power to decide how much the recipient would be able to do once initiated. In reaching this thought process they developed many different approaches to the initiation and proclaimed the attunement process itself was based on their personal "Intent" {remember that word} at the time of the Attunement (Initiation). Apparently, for whatever reason, the concept of any individual being able to self attune was not something acceptable to them and so they dismissed the idea and claimed no one could do reiki unless they were formally initiated by a Reiki Master/Teacher. My research over these last years has proven without any doubt that this is an inaccurate concept. It is entirely possible for a person to self attune and to access the very same Energy (Life Force) as any Reiki Practitioner, however it is not something most people are willing or able to do without the aid of a more experienced individual. A True Reiki Master/Teacher is willing to assist those seeking to utilize the Gift without having to place themselves in control of another being. When Mrs. Takata, who introduced Reiki to the Western world, began to initiate others she used three separate initiations to bring the student to full empowerment. Levels 1, 11 and 111 is how they were designated. Soon after her passing in 1980, some of those she taught decided to begin to change the process. Some created what they called new systems, changing the name entirely or in part, often including the word Reiki as part of their new title. Some added extra initiations which created the need for students to continue for longer periods before becoming able to teach their friends or loved ones, in fact they were encouraged to bring their friends and loved ones for training with their Master teacher. All for a hefty fee of course. Always there was the insistence that only a Master could pass initiations. The explanations of what an initiation did, were and still are, esoteric in every sense, imaginative and often containing false information with promises of possible harm or discomfort to any who try to advance too quickly, as well as huge increases of ability to channel Life Force. A Simple Truth No one knows what transpires during an initiation other than the simple fact that the initiate is able to transfer energy to others where they could not previously do so. No one has ever been able to demonstrate a differance in the effects of a Reiki treatment from one so called level to another. These are facts. I do not hold with all the claims about opening chakras, clearing the channel or expanding it etc. because the simple fact is that these things are functional to begin with. Without them there would be no life in the being. Our etheric body/field is a vital aspect of our being, it is the aspect that we believe goes on after the physical is no longer able to function, it is the Life force itself, the very same as that which we draw or channel from the Universe, that which is within all living things and sustains Life. Here is a simple truth {at least for me} that I have come to realize. There are no levels that are controlled by initiation in Reiki, there is but One Level and the difference was merely the information which was provided to the student and the belief that they are "limited" in what they can do. Now why anyone would want to limit someone from doing all they can is beyond me. But it may well be something for you to concider. We need to realize the motives involved in maintaining "levels" or "degrees" in any system. Are they motivated by Control, Power or Money? Do these things belong in Healing work which is based on sharing Love and Compassion ? For me the answer is clear, but you must decide for yourself. All this led to the need of eliminating much of the external controls placed within the Reiki Teaching System. Hence the trial of one single initiation that would totally empower whomever received it. The trial was a success. One person new to the concept of Reiki became fully empowered by the first Singular Reiki Master Initiation! Since then many have achieved the same gift. Thanks to the research work in distance healing and distance initiation it is now clear that the true power of accessing the Universal Life Force lies not in the mind or hands of one individual but within the individual themselves and this ability is increased by a collective effort and sharing of many.

Correct link is here: http://www.mysticreiki.com/A_Members There is always a place for everyone's beliefs in everything they do and certainly each individual can practice reiki in whatever manner they find within their own belief system. Hoscus pokus can be found in almost all the systems of Reiki and yet it is not really a part of or needed in order to practice. Nor is it necessary to accept that one has to "Live Reiki" or become more spiritual. Those aspects are and should remain a personal choice. What I would point out is that when anyone really practices Reiki, "on others" it would be difficult for them not to experience "changes" in their attitudes toward life. Reiki will enhance any system and yet I have not witnessed any other system enhancing Reiki although the claims made seem to be as plentiful as flowers. Many people from around the world have experienced learning Reiki in one simple attunement process, no levels and no restrictions. Their Reiki results when working with others is equal to any reiki prqactitioner who has taken workshops which demanded they move through the level system (Level1,2,3 and even 4 which is such an obvious marketing level) Some systems of reiki claim to have even more levels and yet no one who has taken these levels has become any more able to assist other with Reiki than a mere level one who practices. Isn't it time to wake up and smell the roses? Another quirk that has come up is the business of Japanese Reiki and so many unsubstansiated claims about lost and hidden or found information relating to either Hayashi or Usui and the unkind attitute to the one woman who really made it all possible "Takata". How easy to attack the teachings of someone no longer able to defend them, how easy to claim you have seen something that no one else can see (except through you) (for a fee). Please do understand that it is possible that Takata used a degree of creativity in her presentation of Reiki, but that doesn't mean she did not receive full empowerments or that something was left out. It is a truth that Takata approached Reiki as a business, that is how Hayashi explained it to her and that fact is available on tape in her own words (voice). Some may wonder why after all these years I have been about this that I still sing the same old song and have not joined the ranks of the more creative markerteers in the Reiki Community. Is it because I have not experienced these other systems of Reiki? Or examined them? Or received treatments from those who do them? If that were the case I would indeed be a foolish man. (Grins, I still may well be a foolish man but not for that reason) My reasons are Simple, "Choices, Freedom to choose, the right to decide based on knowledge gainned by both personal experiences and shared information with others. So no matter your position, know this fact: The only limitation that you own or those you as an individual accept. No one can dictate to another that they are limited or restricted in the practice of Reiki based on their personal intent to only allow them to be a level 1 etc. Oh yes the stories can be created by many people who are far more adept at writing than I shall ever be but they are only creative stories which serve one purpose, to hold back rather than create equality which is really our Gift from Creator anyhow.

From my understanding of Reiki and from your posts it is obviously clear that a single attunement should be all an individual needs to be able to feel/use/heal (insert the most appropriate word here) the energy. I have been attenuated (apparantly but to be honest I dont know/cant remember what i am supposed to feel differently....) Could someone shed some light on general changes or things any person should be able to do if they have been attenuated (and i am sorry if my thrashing my way through here with my limited understanding seems abrupt or misguided) From recall it was indicated to me that i may feel heat or tingling in my hands when doing reiki.... advice or guidance would be great.

Yes you understand correctly. I would add however that not all individuals "need" an attunement in Reiki in order to access Life Force energy. Spiritual Energy Life Force { S.E.L.F. ) carries many names and may be accessed in many various manners. Reiki is but one simple system and perhaps the easiest one of all for those who need some form of assistance or reassurances that they can indeed access it. >I have been attenuated (apparantly but to be honest I dont know/cant >remember what i am supposed to feel differently....) > This is far more common an experience than realized. What an individual experiences varies from one person to another. It is speculative at best. You may be interested in yet another aspect that is totally speculative and that is that those receiving a treatment also do not experience the same exact things either as another person receiving or as the practitioner sences of feels. This is even more pronounced in treatments involving multiple practitoners What you as an individual sence of feel when doing or receiving is directly related to the creative aspects within your higher consciousness or sub consciousness and how sussceptable you are to suggestions presented either directly or indirectly. It is more important to realize that the very act of performing a session on others opens the channel and both you and the receiver will benefit in some manner regardless if either feels anything or not, or if one feels and the other doesn't. Also it should be obvious that the more one works with "Energy" the more in tune they will become with it and that can increase the awareness of subtle changes. Tingling of the hands when placed on another (the normal time for each placement is an average of 3-5 minute which gives the energy an opportunity to balance), warmth to various degress is also common, however again the recipient may feel your hands as heated while you feel they are quite normal, the reverse is also common. I suppose that the saying "What the mind can conceive the mind can create" might be worth concidering. {Smiles} Practice, Practice, practice. Reiki information may be shared in writings and conversations but nobody learns it without "Doing it". Namaste' ShadowWolf http://www.mysticreiki.com/A_Members/index.htm
