Don’t worry about losing the feeling of Reiki going through your hands after an attunement. You haven’t lost Reiki but you just don’t feel it pass through your hands anymore. Let me tell you about my own attunement experience to explain. In my first Reiki attunement, I didn’t feel anything, except that in the attunement itself, I had an out-of-body experience. But even this out-of-body experience was particularly mundane; I went to a computer store and stared at the shelves full of brown boxes! After this attunement, I didn’t feel anything at all either, but somehow I knew that I wanted to continue on this path. In my Reiki 2 attunement, I cried non-stop, although they were not tears of sadness. It was a very strange feeling, but my Reiki Master assured me that I should let it happen, and she gave me a lot of tissues. After this attunement, I could always feel Reiki coming out of the palms of my hands. This was especially when I gave myself or someone else a healing. Three years later, I was ready for my Reiki Master training. During my Mastery attunement, I felt nothing. And after this attunement, I lost the feeling of Reiki constantly flowing from my hands! However, by then I was a full-time practitioner and my clients commented that they felt my energy was stronger in some way.

Later, I took another advanced attunement called Sakara. I didn’t feel anything in that tune either. However, would you believe it? After that, I felt Reiki flow from my hands! But the story does not end there. I went to another advanced tuning afterwards. This one was called Cahokia. It was an amazing workshop, I felt the attunement and then again lost the feeling of Reiki flowing through my palms.

Through my experiences, I found that with each attunement, I became a better healer, regardless of how I felt during the attunement or afterward. Reiki is felt in the effects it has on our lives. The desire to feel something while giving or receiving a treatment is just our own need for reassurance and has nothing to do with Reiki. Now I trust that Reiki is doing his job and I just let it happen. Anyway, that’s my story. The way I see it, it doesn’t matter if you feel Reiki or not. It flows through anyway.
