Reconnecting to Reiki

Recently I had a couple of people reach out to me to ask if I could re-attune them to Reiki. In both cases they had not used their reiki for some time and felt disconnected from it. I appreciate that some Reiki masters do offer a re-attunement, but this is not a service I offer. The reason for this is that it is not necessary, once we are attuned, we are attuned for life. Nor do I feel it really works, my own reiki journey began with my level 1 training in 2004. Initially I ate, slept and breathed Reiki, but life got busy and I found myself barely using it for a couple of years. I saw a local lady advertising re-attunements and booked in. She gave me a reiki session and then did the re- attunement. I felt nothing special, no more than the usual wonderful benefit of the session. Afterwards I continued to simply dip in and out. It was a few months later that I felt Reiki calling me back, this time I just started my daily self practice again. Calling the energy in was far more powerful than any re-attunement. Reiki is universal energy and as with all energies we simply need to call it in. So if you are feeling disconnected from your reiki or feeling like a failure or a fraud because you aren’t using it regularly here are a few gentle ways you can reconnect.
