We approach Reiki Shoden attunement as we might approach a new crop circle, with preparation, eagerness and curiosity. Crop circles are mostly of unknown origin, there are many theories, many claims of ownership or creation, and yet we are still not fully consciously aware of the nature of this phenomena. 

We are aware of the energy involved in the creation of such symbols, and perhaps one or more of these 'circles' may resonate with our being.  The symbols may be part of our own language of light that we are re-learning as we re-connect to All That Is, the Universal Energy of Reiki; & Love.

A visit to a crop circle can be an interesting and exciting experience, whilst also being somewhat disconcerting, uncomfortable and scary as it is outside of our own experience. 

A Reiki Attunement 

Copyright Steve Alexander - Halpen Hill July 2016

Every person reacts differently to a Reiki Attunement, and each attunement can elicit a different reaction from the recipient. Some people experience a strangeness that manifests as strong emotions and a temporary acceleration of any health symptoms is also possible. This period of strangeness, symptoms and signs is known as a 'healing crisis'; something that is a usual occurrence when one is shifting one's reality, moving forward into a new way of being - and you might really call this also a detoxification process. Your physical body, and spiritual, mental and emotional body are allowing all that blocks your growth and ability to evolve, to rise to the surface to be recognized, accepted, released and cleansed.

So all those patterns of behaviour created in childhood as a self defence mechanism, or as a way of dealing with overwhelming energy, will be rising to the surface to be examined, and released. It can be a scary time as we move forward into the unknown.  This is a process that happens not only at this time, but throughout our life. However, at a time of attunement, this symptoms are more intense and apparent, as the cleansing and clearing process accelerated, and the symptoms appear, the toxins are released in a shorter more intense period of growth and re-alignment.

This is a temporary situation, and the intensity of this detoxification generally lasts no longer than 21 days. The cleansing and clearing process will continue, but not at such great intensity. The symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe;  and perhaps also one can consider them to manifest on the physical, or emotional levels. 

The following symptoms may arise:

Strong emotions such as fear, fury, worry, irritability, sadness, grief, 

Mood swings

Development of certain phobias

Fever, cold or flu

Nausea, ht://www.cropcircleconnecom/20

Fatigue, Restlessness

Pains - joints or muscular pain

Hypertension

Insomnia

The symptoms arise because the Reiki Attunement will stimulate your immune system to start a healing process. 

It is very rare that such symptoms would transform into any serious condition as usually they subside as you continue to practice Self-Reiki. 

However, it is important that the person undergoing a Reiki Attunement, consult with the Reiki Teacher/Master of any symptoms that arise, and keep the Teacher informed if any unusual or severe reaction appears. The Teacher can then help the recipient heal and work with the energies. 

How to ease or manage the symptoms

The best form of management is the increase in intake of fluids especially water. Those who have done the classes thus far are aware of how much water, and fruit is imbibed, so it is important that following the attunment, plenty of water and fresh fruit is available as soon as the session is completed. The water intake will help flush the toxins & other waste products out of the body, and speed up the cleansing process. The fresh fruit will help replace some energy. 

Other ways to manage or ease the process are to modify your diet and avoid processed foods. There is no one single diet that will resonate with all, so it will be up you to connect with your intuition and dowse what foods will resonate with you as you cleanse and release. 

There are specific meditation which will help alleviate mental and emotional stress, both mindful breath meditation, and visualization. 

It is important that you express your emotions in a healthy way, and do not repress even for  moment, but rather express in each moment, so there is no bottleneck, nor explosions.

Avoid negative thoughts and situations.

To be blunt, sometimes a good bowel movement will relieve symptoms too; and sometimes an enema or colonic irrigation will help should that be a path you choose.

Treat yourself gently; Take rest if you feel fatigue; In fact, get plenty of rest... no late nights, but lots of sleep. Remember frequently following an attunement, your Guides will have 'night school' during your dream-time.

Spend some period of time in nature, quiet, and peace.

It is important that you realize that the symptoms that manifest after a Reiki Attunement, are different from the symptoms that may appear as a side effect of medication. Appearance of the symptoms does not call for termination of the attunement, the symptoms put you on notice that you are in the initiation of the healing process. A shamanic initiation will produce similar symptoms, as will a spontaneous kundalini initiation.

The attunement is part of an initiation process. You should be ready and willing to move forward on your spiritual path, and  your healing journey. If you have serious doubts, then this is not the time to come forward for attunement. 

Remember if any symptoms appear that would normally make you call a doctor, then you must call a doctor. Be safe and well, and use your common sense.
