Kundalini Reiki?

[alphamind]

Hi all,
There are no attunements in my area, so I went with Murray's Dvd which is cheap

www.healingreiki.com/product/Reiki_1st_Level_Attunement_Become_a_Reiki_Healer-15-3.html

He uses a crystal to transfer the attunement, and I do believe it is legit. I did feel energy squeezing my body parts and making me scream, though after the attunement (which I have taken several times) I feel nothing. The DVD is basically a 10 minute attunement with general reiki info and illustrations of hand positions to use on yourself and others. I do not feel the energy coming out of my palms though.

He did say some people might not feel anything at all, but I WOULD like to have even a small indication that I am actually attuned to 1st level. The energy I felt could very well be kundalini spikes as well, since I've been having those for some time now.

Anyhow, it is Usui reiki I am speaking of here. Kundalini Reiki has recently come to my attention, and my question is would it be OK if I did not further pursue the Usui reiki and go straight for a personal distance attunement for Kundalini Reiki, which I read its 1st level is the equivalent of the first three Usui Reiki levels.

I do believe the Dvds work, but truth is my attention span is short and I would frequently mentally interrupt gazing at the crystal. So I figured a personal healing would be more effective for me, but I just wanna make sure first if it's alright going straight for the kundalini reiki, even if I really have been attuned to level 1.

Hi,

Kundalini Reiki has no prerequisites, you can take the attunement whenever you like. I know some great masters who never had an attunement in Usui Reiki and started straight forward with Kundalini - it doesn't harm them. You just have to take the attunements one after another, starting with Kundalini Reiki Level One, no matter if you've had other attunements in different systems before.

Hi, thanks for your response!

I thought so too, thanks for confirming that.


Btw a question regarding any reiki in general, but Usui Reiki especially: when the energy gets transferred from our palms, does an altered state of consciousness take place in order for the energy to accessed? Since I have heard Reiki defined as an awareness system too.

Hi all,
I recently got attuned to Kundalini Reiki level 1 via distant attunement, but from the day of attunement i feel very tired throughout the day. Its been 3 days since.
I wanted to know that is it normal or is there something wrong?

Please guide.

Thanks and regards

Hi man24oj,

Obviously it has been quite some time since you posted this.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned to you, but there is a general statement going around that after an attunement you will go through a cleansing process. There is debate if people would actually have these symptoms if we didn't mention it (psychosomatic symptoms), although tiredness in not uncommon after an initiation.
In the Usui Reiki system you will often hear of a "21 day cleanse" (21 days for the 21 rocks Dr. Usui took on his journey when he received Reiki) but I am not sure what amount of time is proposed for Kundalini Reiki or if it is perhaps thought to be the same amount of time as the Usui system.

Also, I realize many people receive distance attunements, but I carry a firm belief in receiving attunements in person. One - choosing a teacher is a very personal thing and you want to know what kind of person you are opening up your energy system to. Two - A Reiki attunement is a sacred spiritual initiation. After having received and given attunements, I can agree with my Reiki Master as I quote him:

"Although in Reiki 2 you learn to perform distance treatments, I think that attunements are quite different given their initiatory nature. I believe that the contact is an essential part of the process. The intimacy that is created between a teacher and student provides the harmonious foundation upon which the attunement is built."

That being said, I would encourage you to seek out a teacher and physically go learn and receive attunements in that fashion.

I have found that drinking water and taking time to rest and spend some time being reflective and meditate are helpful as your energy system calibrates itself to a higher frequency.
