What to expect in Holy Fire Reiki Training
When you feel called to the Reiki path and undertake the training to become an Usui/Holy Fire Reiki practitioner, you're entering a mystical healing path through an initiation process. In Reiki, this initiation process is referred to as "Attunement" and is given to students in both Reiki Level I & Level II courses.
The attunement process initiates the students into the Reiki stream, brings the students in contact with the Higher Spiritual Powers and the Spiritual Lineage of the Reiki Masters who have gone before us, and confers upon the students the ability to use and channel Reiki for healing self and others. The attunement process opens the students' energy centers and performs deep healing, cleansing, release, realignment, and raising the frequency of the students' energy on all levels physical, emotional, astral, mental, soul/spirit. This is preparation to strengthen and enable the students' physical and subtle bodies to receive and work with the inpouring Reiki energy.
The students need to understand that the initiation/attunement is an intense process, therefore it's common to experience physical and/or energetic side-effects. The attunement experience and its intensity will be different for each student depending on one's level of personal cultivation, spiritual development, physical and energetic constitution. In Holy Fire Reiki, students also experience a pre-cleansing before the class to prepare for the upcoming training.
Side Effects:
The common physical and energetic side-effects that students of Holy Fire Reiki may experience as a result of the pre-cleansing and attunement include but not limited to those listed below. The side-effects are temporary and the duration may last for few hours, few days, sometimes up to 2-3 weeks depending on each student's physical and energetic constitution. Students whose energetic constitution is weak or sensitive tend to experience stronger intensity of the side-effects. If you belong to this category, it's best to give yourself some extra days after taking a Holy Fire Reiki course to rest and recuperate.
