Reiki I: The First Atunement of My Healing Hands
On Saturday I received my atunement for Reiki I. I attended a class of just four people in the home of my Reiki Master, Claudio. I have wanted to learn Reiki ever since I learned about it a few years ago, but I also heard that it was very expensive to take the training. Claudio and I were at a business networking lunch when Reiki came up in the conversation and he mentioned that he was a Reiki master and that he might be teaching a class soon. I told him to let me know when his next class would be scheduled, and he did.
There were three others in my class, but Claudio did the atunements in private in his healing room. When it was my turn I had an amazing experience, which is impossible to really capture in words. All that I can say is that I felt the energy come through and I have been literally transformed by it. At first I felt a buzz–like the kind you feel when you’ve had a bit too much caffeine, but no racing heartbeat. I could not sit down and I felt like my body could not contain this expansive energy.
After each of us received our atunements we all shared about our experiences, and then we each received a group healing session. Each participant received healing from the other three participants and Claudio. As I laid hands on my fellow students I could feel the energy moving through and I could feel it swirling around in the room among us.
When it was my turn to receive the healing, Claudio adjusted and refined the flow of energy I was receiving and I felt this tremendous feeling of peaceful calm. That super-high frequency of energy was dissipated and I felt grounded yet light as a feather. One of my classmates said that while she had her hands on me she kept seeing the vision of roses floating all around me, which was right on because roses are my favorite flower, and I have a bouquet of pink roses on my table right now.
I could not wait to get home and tell my girls about my powerful experience. I did my first hands-on healing session with my 12-year-old. It felt as though I had become a channel of pure, unconditional love. I could feel the energy flowing through me into her body. I did not prompt her or tell her what might happen, and when I was finished I asked her what she felt and she said, “it felt a little bit warm and a little bit tingly.”
Receiving my Reiki I atunement was an awesome experience and a precious gift from the Universe. I look forward to learning more about Reiki and practicing it on myself and on my girls so that I will get better at it as time goes on. I plan to do Reiki II and III as well because I would love to be able to share this awesome gift with others.
Thanks for introducing me to the world of Reiki. I found a master teacher that lives in the area. She is holding a few classes over the summer and the price is not too expensive. I’ll send a pm on Facebook after the experience.
Thank you for your inspiring writings about inspiring themes… I love writing too, I started with a blog, but gave up just after the first posting. What I need to work on is discipline and self-respect for what I really love doing. And learn how to say NO to the things I don’t want anymore. I was touched my meny things I read in your blog. Thank you again
