What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient practice that emphasises the importance of personal spiritual development. Originating from Japan, this modality uses the universal life force energy to promote healing and well-being. Central to Reiki is the belief that everyone has the potential to connect with higher energy to foster spiritual growth.

What is a Reiki Attunement?

A Reiki attunement is a sacred ritual that facilitates a deeper connection with this higher energy. During an attunement, a Reiki Master transfers energy to the student, raising their vibration and opening their chakras. This process enables the individual to channel Reiki energy more effectively, allowing them to heal themselves and others.

How do I prepare for an attunement?

• Do not partake in alcohol or recreational drugs within 24 hours of your Reiki attunement.
• Try not to surround yourself with negative people, places or events within 24 hours. I understand that this is difficult, but should something occur, ensure you take time out to relax and ground your energy. Please speak to me if you require advice.
• Drink plenty of water
• Try to moderate your intake of caffeine, energy drinks, sweets, chocolate and smoking cigarettes
• Have a nice relaxing few days with events and activities that nurture your soul

I’ve never had a Reiki treatment. Will this affect my training?

No!

If you have never experienced Reiki and you would like a treatment prior to booking training, please get in touch. Amanda offers a £10 discount if you are booking in for Reiki attunement.

Can I do my next Reiki attunement with you if I’ve been trained elsewhere?

I previously did my training with Pauline Mahony. Can I continue my journey with you?

Yes providing you can show me your USUI Reiki certificate that shows you have received your attunement of Reiki in person.

“There are certain schools of Reiki that have moved significantly away from the way that Reiki’s founder, Mikao Usui, practised and taught Reiki. These changes are not recognised by the Reiki Council which is dedicated to the Usui System of Reiki. This is the form of Reiki that is recognised for professional practice in the UK.
Reiki Council member organisations adhere to in-person training and attunements using the traditional Usui Reiki system and symbols.” The Reiki Council

If I receive my Reiki Master Practitioner Level 3a, can I provide attunement to Reiki?

No, because you haven’t been trained to provide the attunement at each level of Reiki. You will also not receive insurance without a valid Reiki Master Teacher certificate.

Why do you not teach Reiki Master Teacher in one session?

Reiki Master Practitioner is an important commitment to your journey of deep inner healing. There is so much to comprehend at this level that combining it with teaching will not do you any justice. Plus, not everyone wants to become a Reiki Teacher.

In addition, as a certified teacher of adult education, I want you to get the very best out of teaching, especially if you choose this to be your life vocation. You will want the confidence and ability to begin this special milestone in your career.

Are there any times that a Reiki attunement or Reiki cannot be provided?

Due to the flow of healing energy, you must not be under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs. Other considerations will be discussed during your consultation.

Can you tell me more about a Reiki treatment?

Reiki can be likened to that feeling you got as a child when someone you loved, comforted you with their hands. They soothed away your pain and they made you feel a lot better. These are the sensations I feel when I receive Reiki, however, we are all different.

The most common reported sensations are: –

• A deep relaxation
• Feel sensations of heat
• Sensations of tingling
• Seeing colours
• Feeling emotional, which is OK as this means the harmony is being restored

What are the benefits of a Reiki treatment?

The main benefits of a Reiki session are as follows: –

• Releases your stress, which if allowed to remain can lead to illness
• An effective way of creating a high level of well-being by balancing your mind and emotions
• Heals your body, mind, and spirit
• Develops a positive attitude
• Expands your creativity
• Enhances your personal growth
• Increases your energy
• Is extremely calming and relaxing
• Reiki can help you to relieve pain and insomnia
• Reiki can also speed up recovery from surgery or long-term illness
• Using crystals doubles the healing energy

Is Reiki a religion?

No! It’s a spiritual practice that can bring profound transformation.

What is your experience of Reiki?

I have received training and attunements from a Reiki Master to allow me to do this for you.

I’m also an approved member of the UK Reiki Federation, who have validated my Reiki lineage and I adhere to their professional standard.

As I practice Reiki every day in my own self-care routine, I have the knowledge and experience to help you. I also continue my professional development at all times as evidenced in my Reiki Journal. (Visiting my Reiki Journal will take you to my main website Gemstone, Tarot and Healing)

Benefits of receiving a Reiki Attunement?

Receiving a Reiki attunement comes with numerous benefits. The elevation of spiritual vibrations leads to enhanced intuition, greater inner peace, and the ability to foster deep emotional healing. Additionally, attunements help in clearing energy blockages, thus promoting overall well-being. These heightened vibrations also strengthen one’s connection to the universal life force, creating a more profound spiritual awareness.

Incorporating Reiki attunement into your spiritual practice can be profoundly transformative. By raising your vibration through the sacred ritual of attunement, you open yourself to a deeper connection with higher energy. This not only enhances your capacity for personal healing but also enables you to facilitate healing in others, nurturing a more spiritually enriched life.

Why do you not perform Reiki degree 1 and 2 in the same weekend?

Although some Reiki masters can provide attunements for Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 over the same weekend, it’s not advisable due to the amount of healing energy being taken. Too much in a short space of time can lead to a healing crisis.

A student needs time to heal before sending healing energy to others. All suppressed emotions will be released following an attunement and due to the higher vibrational energy, the body is experiencing, it can take up to seven weeks to heal as your body is cleansed on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels.
This is why it’s important to perform a 21-day self-cleansing following an attunement.

Undertaking your journey of self-healing and learning Reiki is an important step to take. There are life changing aspects that lie ahead of you that can free you of the mundane struggles you face. In my own case, I now manage my anxiety, I’ve manifested my dreams and I’m a lot happier. I made a commitment to my soul and the Universe to follow and live by the Reiki principles. The amount of time and energy you invest is a measure of your self-worth.

Are there any side effects from Reiki?

You may feel emotional or symptoms may feel worse, during or after a Reiki treatment, which is down to the release of toxins from the body. Drinking plenty of water assists you with feeling better. The term for this is a ‘healing crisis’.

What is a healing crisis?

Some people and practitioners can experience what is known as a healing crisis. This is the release of toxins or pent-up emotions that have been deep-seated for years. A better terminology would be a healing cleansing as the phrase healing crisis is in my opinion, negative and worrying.

Common symptoms of a healing cleansing can be mild flu symptoms, emotional release, headache or tiredness and they don’t last more than a day or so. Please feel free to ask me questions about this so that I can put your mind at ease.

How do I book a Reiki Attunement?

Upon agreeing a date for your Reiki attunement, I will request a non-refundable deposit of 50% to be payable a week prior to your course date. Your terms and conditions can be found here.

How do I book a Reiki Treatment?

I offer a number of Reiki treatments. Visit my Reiki in Liverpool page for further information or click on the book here button.

Can any holistic treatment be used instead of medical treatment?

Absolutely NOT!

Reiki, crystals or any other type of energy healing does not replace a doctor or professional, health care treatment. It can be delivered alongside treatments to aid physical and psychological healing.

What happens during a Reiki session?

A consultation will take place.

• You can have Reiki stood up, sat down, or on a massage bed
• You remain fully clothed at all times
• The setting will include relaxing music and lots of crystals, which are optional
• Reiki will flow while you relax for a period of 30 to 60 minutes

How long does Reiki last following a treatment?

A Reiki treatment can last days, if not weeks but depends on your overall self-care routine.

Adopting a regular practice of incorporating Reiki into your self-care sustains the flow of energy. It is recommended to have a treatment every 4 to 6 weeks.
