The 21 Day Clearing Process

I like to compare the initiation process in Reiki to a vortex of Universal Energy pouring into the crown chakra. At each level of attunement, the vibratory rate is heightened, and you are able to tap into a higher, wider channel of that Universal Energy.

Some may experience this shift immediately, expanded color consciousness, a buzzing or heightened sensitivity in the crown center, or a sense of floating or light headedness. (It is important to remember to remove all jewelry, watches, and barrettes prior to any attunement as metals may create discomfort in the chakra areas.)...

Three Steps to Balancing the Chakras

There are three steps to a successful chakra balancing meditation or technique:

First, you must clear each chakra of negative energy. Negativity is represented by a dirty, murky looking chakra. You must change the color of the chakra to the most brilliant shade you can imagine. Sprinkles of white can be mixed into any chakra to lighten the color to the shade you need.

Second, you must balance them. Similar to the tires on a car, chakras must be balanced to ensure proper alignment and direction. Each chakra should be rotating in a clockwise direction. This may mean that you stop a chakra from spinning and encourage it to reverse its direction.

Third, you must charge them by infusing them with energy. This is done by making the chakras larger or smaller so that each chakra is the same size. The meditation and slide show presented here will help you with these steps.

Out With The Old

The Reiki Attunements are very powerful and because of this, it is important to take special care of yourself during the weeks afterward. Here are some suggestions:

Do self-treatment every day, and be sure to drink six to eight glasses of pure water daily. (This does not include tea, coffee, or any other water-based beverage.)

Soak in a hot tub with 2 cups of Epsom Salts dissolved in the water. This facilitates the release of toxins, and will absolutely help you to feel better.

It may also be useful to repeat the Reiki Principles to yourself:

“Just for today do not anger. Just for today do not worry. Honor your parents, teachers, and elders. Earn your living honestly. Show gratitude to every living thing.”

Living "just for today", you focus on the "NOW". Anger and fear are replaced by love as your vibratory rate and consciousness are raised. But the shift is not always without pain or letting go of old patterns; in Reiki we call this releasing of old patterns, the 21 Day Clearing Process.

You will be lifted even higher when the transformation is complete. You may not recognize the new "You" at first, but trust me, you will never want to go back to that Old Self again.
