Why A Level 1 Reiki Attunement Is Not Just For Reiki Practitioners
Did you know that a Level 1 Reiki Attunement is not just for those who wish to become Reiki Practitioners?
The main focus of First Degree Reiki Training & Attunement is self healing. A Self-Reiki practice can be incredibly empowering for you on your own personal wellbeing and spiritual journey in so many ways.
Level 1 Reiki Training provides you with the foundation for channeling Reiki energy for supporting your own emotional balance, promoting stress relief, deep relaxation and physical healing, while also providing you with the tools to offer healing to loved ones, friends and pets, but there are additional benefits of a Reiki Attunement that are often unanticipated!
Here’s how a Level 1 Reiki Attunement can benefit you:
STRESS AND ANXIETY RELIEF
The gentle energy of Reiki activates the parasympathetic nervous system response (‘rest and repair’) which takes you out of the sympathetic nervous system response (‘fight, flight, or freeze’) and promotes deep relaxation along with the gentle release of stress, tension and anxiety. Feeling lighter, calmer and more balanced in both body and mind are common experiences during a Reiki session, with effects that can be long-lasting.
MINDFULNESS & MEDITATION
Reiki can be incorporated into your meditation practice, as it helps to calm and clear an overactive mind and can reduce or even completely eliminate mental chatter. It grounds you in the peace and stillness of the present moment and can assist with accessing deeper meditative states both during and after your Reiki practice.
SLEEP
Due to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system response, the experience of deep physical relaxation and the calming and clearing of the mind, many people (myself included) find that Reiki helps to significantly improve the depth and quality of sleep. It can also assist in falling asleep more quickly for those of us who struggle to ‘switch off’ at night. As someone who has struggled with insomnia in the past, Reiki has been such an empowering gift!
CLEARING YOUR ENERGY FOR PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT
Reiki promotes clarity of body, mind and spirit, while activating the body’s natural healing ability and assisting with the clearing of misaligned energy. If you’re a sensitive soul or empath, the cleansing energy of Reiki can help you to let go of heavier energies that you may ‘pick up’ from other people or places, so you can recalibrate to your highest frequency. A regular self-Reiki practice is wonderful for helping you to release, rebalance and recharge.
TAPPING INTO INSPIRATION AND DIVINE GUIDANCE
Quieting mental chatter is essential for receiving intuitive guidance, because it is very difficult for intuitive insights and wisdom to be received by an overactive mind. As well as calming mental chatter, Reiki restores coherence between your body, mind and spirit. From this place of alignment and centredness it is far easier to access the wisdom of your Higher Self and your intuition. It is possible to receive guidance in the form of images, mental ‘downloads’ or inner understandings during a self-healing Reiki practice.
CLEANSING AND CHARGING ITEMS
You can use Reiki to cleanse, protect and enhance the energy of your crystals, food, water and other special objects. Reiki is even said to have the ability to minimise the negative side effects of medication without reducing efficacy. Using Reiki for the purpose of cleansing and charging items is something we cover in the Level 1 Reiki Training.
SUPPORTING FAMILY AND FRIENDS
With healing energy at your fingertips after a Level 1 Training session you have the ability to facilitate Reiki sessions for friends and family, which can assist them on their unique healing journeys whether they are dealing with stress, emotional tension, anxiety or physical issues. It is encouraged to get plenty of practice on willing volunteers following your Reiki 1 Attunement and you are likely to find many of your ‘practice clients’ are keen to come back for more!
If you do then decide that you wish to practice Reiki in a professional capacity, that’s great as Level 1 provides the foundation, however it is essential to become trained and attuned to Level 2 Reiki to work professionally as a Reiki Practitioner. I also offer Level 2 and Master Level Reiki Training.
SUPPORTING YOUR HEALING AND TRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEY
Many people experience a profound and positive transformation in their lives following a Reiki Attunement. The Attunement itself opens you up energetically to higher states of energetic awareness and intuition. A regular practice of Reiki can help you to connect with higher aspects of consciousness and provides a deep level of support when it comes to cultivating greater balance and wellbeing, as well as helping to gently shift the underlying energy blocks that are preventing you from moving forward on your highest path.
