Everyone who’s interested in energy healing sooner or later starts thinking about receiving their Reiki Attunement – the initiation into Reiki System. There are many different opinions about if we can practice Reiki without an Attunement since we are all connected with the Universal energy Source, or not; if it’s necessary to receive the attunement from a Reiki Master or can we receive self-initiation from our Higher Self into Reiki system. Also, some people are not even sure what a Reiki Attunement is. In this article, I’ll try to explain the meaning and the purpose of the Reiki Attunement. After reading the article, you’ll be able to make your own decision on if you need the attunement or not.

So What Is the Reiki Attunement?

Introduction to the Reiki System always starts with the Reiki Attunement. A student receives the attunement from a Reiki Master Teacher. The Attunement is the initiation into spiritual tradition. This is an ancient way of transferring energy and sacred knowledge from one person to another, which cannot be transferred by means of words.

During the initiation, the reiki student goes through a process of adjustment. The result of this is the raising of his entire energy system to a higher vibration level. After the Reiki Attunement, a person acquires not only the theoretical and practical knowledge transferred to him by the Master-Teacher, but also he acquires his inner knowledge and revealing of his own potential in energy management. This internal knowledge over time takes the form of the practitioner’s special abilities, not only in the field of healing but also in the creation of his or her own reality.

Usually, when people say “the Reiki Attunement” they mean the ceremony of the initiation into the Reiki System. However, the Attunement is carried out by the Universal Energy in response to the intention of the Reiki Master, according to a certain methodology. That is, the transfer of internal knowledge and the revealing of internal capacity is carried out directly by Reiki.
The Reiki Attunement is a great mystery, during which there is a complete transformation of the student’s energy body. As a result, the student creates a deeper and stronger contact with his Higher Self. The Attunement, in fact, is a direct flow of divine (Universal) Energy pouring out upon man.

Misunderstanding Of The Reiki Attunement

Many people, even those ones who practice Reiki for years, have a misleading understanding of what the Reiki Attunement is. The most common belief is that the Reiki Attunement opens up energy channels and connects a person with energy Source. But it is very important to understand that the Attunement does not open and does not form any energy channels, as well as it does not connect a person to any kind of energy source.

The Reiki Attunement reveals the energy potential, establishes a direct connection between a person and the Primary source of Reiki. Thus, people who have received the initiation, become themselves a source of Reiki. Therefore, it is important to realize that a Reiki practitioner is not a conductor of divine Energy, but its source himself!

The main goal of Reiki practice is to be a pure source of divine energy. The healing process is possible only when the practitioner realizes his unity and integrity with Reiki.

The Reiki Attunement Ceremony

This Ceremony can be compared to a spiritual awakening. The initiation itself does not implement anything in man, but only reveals the inner potential, develops and enhances abilities inherent in each human being from birth.

During initiation, each student receives only what he/she needs, what he/she is ready for. So the sensations during the Attunement can be different. Some people feel the flow of energy, others feel the presence of the guardian angels, for some, the process of initiation is accompanied by visions, dizziness, feeling of loss of sense of reality, and some people simply don’t feel anything. Sensations during the attunement reflect only the level of development and openness of a particular student. Any comparison of sensations is incorrect since the process of accepting the initiation is very individual.

Daily Reiki Practice

The Attunement is a fundamental element of Reiki, however, by itself, without other components, it is useless. We can draw a parallel between the setting of a musical instrument and the Reiki Attunement. A musical instrument itself is useless if the person doesn’t know how to play it. In order to learn how to play, you need constant practice. The same is so in Reiki – in order to get any result, to see miracles and to develop special abilities, it’s necessary to practice Reiki every day.

After the Attunement, the energy must be integrated into all energy bodies. This process takes time. The less pure your thoughts and intentions are, the more energy blocks you have, the longer the period of time must pass from the first-degree initiation to the second one. Otherwise, the healing cleansing caused by the initiation may be incomplete due to the overlap of different crisis stages at different levels from the initiations of different degrees.

What Is The Healing Cleansing?

The healing cleansing is the process of your energy bodies cleansing. This process always happens, but every person can feel it in different ways. Cleansing can take place physically, emotionally and mentally.

Physical body cleansing is a type of the healing cleansing in which a person’s physical condition can temporarily get worse. It often happens that right after the Attunement people get sick. Most often, in the course of this cleansing, the immunity of the person decreases, there is an exacerbation of chronic diseases. The fact is that the human body is overloaded with toxins accumulated over the years, from which the body is urgently eliminating as a result of the Attunement.

Emotional cleansing is a type of the healing cleansing that provokes the emergence of various conflicts around the person. This is a result of his increased emotionality during this time.

Mental cleansing is a type of the healing cleansing which is manifested in the form of an ongoing stream of thoughts or in the form of unpleasant dreams and nightmares. During this kind of the healing cleansing, our thoughts, negative attitudes and beliefs are getting purified.

How To Facilitate The Manifestation Of The Healing Cleansing?

1. Reiki itself can help you with this

Invite Reiki with the intention to mitigate, as much as possible, the symptoms of your healing cleansing.

Place your hands on the part of the body that bothers you the most, or leave your hands in the gassho position. Relax and let the Energy work with you.

In 15 minutes, tell your gratitude to Reiki and your Higher Self for the healing.

2. Drinking water will help you to detox your body faster

In order to help your bodies detox, it is necessary to drink clean water as often as possible with small sips (preferably every 5 minutes).

You can also charge the water with Reiki to raise its vibrations. To do this, invite Reiki, hold your hands over the water (5 minutes) and charge it with positive intentions, such as:
“This water cleanses me from negative thoughts, negative energies, and negative attitudes. It charges me with the energy of love, light, happiness, joy, health, and harmony! I’m in harmony! I am happy!”

3. Praying will help you to adjust to the new vibrations

In order to quickly adjust to the new vibrations caused by the Reiki Attunement, you should make praying your daily practice! You can read the following prayer during your Reiki sessions and every morning immediately after waking up:

“I tune myself with new high-frequency vibrations of Love, Joy, Unity, and Strength!

I call in my heart and in my life new high-frequency vibrations of the Universe and accept these vibrations in my life with love and joy!

With this appeal, I affirm my intention to advance, self-development and self-improvement!

From now on, every cell of my body is open to the Light of high-frequency vibrations of the Universe!

From now on, every particle of me is filled with Light and vibrations of pure love and transformation!

I accept all changes in myself with gratitude, trust, and love!»

The Bottom Line

The desire of individual students to go as quickly as possible from the first Reiki degree to the second and up, are usually dictated by their ego. It always turns into unexpected and very uncomfortable consequences. The process of healing cleansing in such cases is is set to turbo mode, and the energy of initiation becomes so powerful that it becomes unacceptable for unprepared bodies and levels of consciousness of the student. The results of such haste are always unpredictable and negative.

Don’t take the Reiki Attunement as some kind of “show”. Try to get rid of the expectation of some “miracle”. Only by letting your ego go will you be able to accept the Attunement in a proper way. Eventually, it will lead you to spiritual transformation and the revealing of internal potential.

Feng Shui Astrology For September 2021 Image

Feng Shui astrology is based on the Chinese calendar. The dates of the beginning and the end of the months are different from those generally accepted in the Gregorian calendar. According to the Chinese calendar, the year’s fourth month starts on July 7th and ends on August 7th. Therefore, all the recommendations given in this article will be accurate until August 7th.

Feng Shui astrology believes that each month has its unique energy and character. Therefore, each month’s energy is expressed through one of the 12 Zodiac animals and connected to one of the five elements.

July 2022 is the month of the Fire Goat. In this article, I will share what kind of energy and events to expect in July 2022 and how to properly choose dates for different events.

Feng Shui Astrology for July 2022

The Energy of the Month of the Fire Goat

According to the Chinese calendar, July 2022 is ruled by the Fire Goat.

In Chinese mythology, the Fire Goat is an image of red-hot embers crackling merrily on the fire. Under the influence of July’s energies, people may have an increased desire to be the center of attention at any cost. This tendency may make them more artistic, charismatic, overly emotional, excitable, and even irritable. People can also lie more often and embellish their own achievements.

So, the month promises to be quite hot, both literally and figuratively. Hot and dry weather often drives people crazy, so if you feel emotional tension, try to be more patient and practice mindfulness. Don’t react to possible conflict or problems immediately. Take your time to calm down and cool off first. Also, try to avoid being in the sun too much this month. It may increase the Fire element which could bring more emotional intensity to your life. This month, it is especially beneficial to spend time close to the water – by the lakes, rivers, or ocean. Even swimming in the pool can help to cool down the excessive Fire element.

Southeast is the most dangerous direction for traveling this month. This recommendation only applies to long-distance trips. It is ok to take a walk or move around the city or close to it in the Southeast direction.

Auspicious Days In July 2022

July 13th and 25th are good dates for starting long-term affairs. The projects started on this date do not promise rapid development, but they will bring stable, reliable results. However, these dates are not suitable for those born in the year of the Rooster.

July 15th is a good date for official openings, signing deals or contracts, making agreements, and purchasing a property. However, this date is not suitable for those born in the year of the Boar.

Days With a Higher Risk of Getting Viruses And Other Contagious Diseases

July 14th and 26th – during these dates, it’s easier to get a disease. Therefore, make sure you’re being extra cautious these days, as there is an increased risk of getting infections and viruses!

Inauspicious Days In July 2022

July 11th, 18th, 23th, 30th, and August 4th are unfavorable dates to start important things. They bring difficulties, obstacles, and problems.

July 16th and 28th are not suitable dates for a lot of activity, organizing important events, or starting medical treatment. But you can use these dates to complete old cases.

August 6th is “Exhausting Day”. The energy potential of this day is very weak. Therefore, try to avoid any big activity on this day.

According to Feng Shui astrology, each of the nine sectors of your house is influenced by a certain type of energy. This energy changes from month to month, from year to year. In this particular article, I will not be talking about the annual chart but focusing on the energy influence of the month.

Now let me share with you Feng Shui Astrology for July 2022!

Center

The central part of the house brings wealth luck, good fortune, and intellectual prowess in July. Activate your luck by placing the Jade Emperor Windchime here. However, the overriding annual chi of the 5 Yellow obstructs good luck and can cause health problems. Therefore, make sure you protect yourself by placing the Supremacy of Heaven Plate, the Heart Sutra Pagoda, and the Wu Lou with Joyous Cranes here.

Northwest

The Northwest sector brings accidents, violence, risk of money loss, and betrayals this month. At work, office politics can become a problem if your office is located in the Northwest corner. Be careful of the people you are working with this month. To suppress the negative influence of this sector, place the Anti-Robbery Plaque here and carry the Kuan Kung on Horseback Anti-Betrayal Amulet.

West

Feng Shui Astrology for July 2022 promises a prosperous month to the residents of the West sector and those whose front door is facing the West. To activate prosperity energy in your house, display the 100 Blessings Energetic Deer in this sector. However, remember to protect your West sector from the annual Loss Star by displaying the Anti-Robbery Plaque here.

Northeast

Feng Shui astrology for July 2022 promises good fortune, commercial success, wealth, promotion, and career luck to those residing in the Northeast rooms. Activate your success luck by displaying the Completion Horse in this sector. If you play in the stock market or take any kind of gamble, display the Wealth Lock Mini Plaque in the Northeast corner of your office or in the Northeast sector of your house (or living room).

South

Feng Shui astrology for July 2022 promises an excellent month to those residing in the South rooms and whose houses are facing the South direction. You will have career advancement and leadership luck this month. To activate the lucky energies of this sector, display the New Victory Banner here.

North

The North sector gets afflicted by the Illness Star, sapping the energy of those who reside here. If your bedroom is located in this sector, make sure you display the Wu Lou by your bedside and carry the Stay Healthy Amulet at all times. Pregnant women should consider moving to another bedroom this month.

Southwest

Feng Shui Astrology for July 2022 promises a quarrelsome month to those residing in the Southwest rooms or whose houses are facing Southwest. The energy of this sector brings conflicts, gossip, arguments, and even legal entanglements. To neutralize the quarrelsome energies, display the Magical Cosmic Apple here. Also, remove anything that makes too much noise from this sector (windchimes, TV, stereo, etc.).

East

The East is favorable for studying and writing this month. This sector can also help attract noble people, patrons, and mentors. Also, it can attract investors to your business. If you have an office in this sector, it may bring you promotion luck. To activate your success luck, display Feng Shui Dragon Carp with 3-Legged Toad Mini Plaque in the East sector of your house.

However, if your bedroom is located here, there is a possibility of romantic scandals caused by the presence of a third party and emotional stress due to relationship problems. To protect your relationship, display the Marriage Lock in the East sector of your house.

Southeast

The Southeast part of your house is a very dangerous area this month! If you and your family spend lots of time here, you will find everyone becoming stressed and short-tempered this month. It also increases the likelihood of sickness, accidents, and misfortune. Try to avoid spending time in this area if possible. To suppress the misfortune energies, display the Heart Sutra Pagoda and Wealth Lock Mini Plaque here.

Feng Shui Astrology For July 2022: Bonus Tip

For sectors of the home where good energy resides, it is excellent to activate with plenty of noisy activity. Have the radio, TV, or fan placed here to churn up the energy so there is a good level of noise. Also, it is very favorable to install brighter lights in these sectors. Moving the energy in these ways will encourage yang chi to manifest to your advantage.

Why Is Hair So Important?

Since ancient times, people have given hair a sacred meaning. It was thought that people could connect with the Universe through one’s hair. Hair serves as “antennas” and “guides” between our world and the world of Heaven. And so far, this knowledge has not lost its relevance. Hair connects us with Higher forces, cosmic energy, God, and Higher consciousness. By connecting through the hair to the Cosmos, we can fill ourselves with the energies of abundance and health.

Good Days to Cut Your Hair In July 2021 image

There were many beliefs associated with hair; some of them have survived to the present day. For example: in any case, you should not get a haircut by yourself, as in this case, deformation of your energy field may happen, which can lead to health problems and energy loss. It is also not recommended to get a haircut on the days of a lunar or solar Eclipse: the hair can suffer, weaken, and lose shine and volume.

What Are “Abundance Haircuts”?

It has long been known that there are days when it is especially favorable to cut hair. Among these days, there are days of “Abundance haircuts.”

Abundance haircuts are a special ritual to attract abundance flows into your life. It is good to say abundance affirmations and mantras on this day. So you will strengthen the ritual haircut and make it a more effective and efficient force.

Here are examples of the mantras:

For wealth and abundance: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MAMA BASU PUSHTIM KURU SOHA
Mantra for vitality and life force increase: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MARITSE YE TSE BHRUM NRI DZA SOHA
For fame, power, and charisma: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE BODHI CITTA SOHA
Mantra for health and longevity: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MAMA AYUR PUNYE JNANA PUSHTIM KURU YE SOHA
For magnetism and attractiveness: OM TARE TAM SOHA

If you are not a mantra practitioner, you can use affirmations instead.

Examples of abundance affirmations:

I deserve to be abundantly happy and healthy!
My abundance is constantly growing!
I always have money for everything I need!
Money comes to me easily and fast!
I’m grateful for my abundant life!

Spiritual Alchemy: Transmuting Into a Higher Version of Yourself

Published

June 24, 2022

Katya Ki

Spiritual Alchemy is a mystical practice that seeks to free the soul from its attachment to matter. It is an ancient and traditional practice that aims to offer spiritual transformation and growth, yet it has no interest at all in material growth.

Spiritual Alchemy traces its roots in medieval times, where the goal was to obtain gold. At that time, Alchemy was practiced by people who wanted to transform base metals such as lead into gold. The idea behind this was to amass more wealth.

Today, the practice is used to achieve:

Personal contentment;
Self-awareness;
Harmony;
And liberation from the inauthentic parts of your life.

Simply put, the goal is to achieve self-actualization and spiritual rebirth. Let’s have a more detailed look at the concept of Spiritual Alchemy below.

The Stages of Spiritual Alchemy

There is a journey people go through to achieve their spiritual rebirth. It is essential to know that everyone’s spiritual journey is different. Therefore, the stages of spiritual Alchemy may vary slightly from one person to another.

Stage 1: Calcination

This first stage of spiritual Alchemy is also called the black stage. The black represents chaos in which we have buried ourselves. Calcination involves eliminating parts of our lives that prevent us from attaining our happiness. It also entails identifying the elements that no longer serve you and burning them into ashes.

People focus on being perfect rather than truly happy in the modern world. These societal standards prevent people from exploring themselves authentically.

In the calcination stage, we begin to break free from:

Self-doubt;
Fear;
Self-sabotaging tendencies;
Pride;
Arrogance;
Ego.

Liberating yourself from these tendencies allows you to explore what you are underneath the cover – the authentic you.

Calcination also involves detaching ourselves from world attachments such as the desire for wealth, power, and identity. Note that these are not bad things. However, to achieve spiritual rebirth in occult sciences, you must know where to draw the line.

Stage 2: Dissolution

This second stage involves dissolving the ashes into the water in occult sciences.

Dissolution involves not associating yourself with the inauthentic you. You have already freed yourself from elements of self-doubt and pride. It is now time to observe the negative and positive traits objectively.

At this stage, we are more objective. You can therefore pinpoint how your actions affect you and others. In this stage, you can also notice how avoidant you have been. For instance, many people avoid being themselves and hide in alcoholism, codependency, workaholism, social media, gambling, sex, or TV binging.

This stage is also often triggered by severe life events such as divorce, job loss, death, or bankruptcy. We describe this stage as one that allows you to stop, smell the roses, and pay attention to what you are doing.

Stage 3: Separation

The separation stage is written in the air element. The first two stages are associated with fire and water.

In a mystical sense, this stage can involve separation from your thought processes or emotional trigger responses. This separation process allows you to distinguish authentic essence from acquired personality. This is a very liberating stage as it allows you to come free from resentment towards yourself.

Separation is a very satisfying stage where we free ourselves of resentment towards ourselves and others. Liberation from our negative emotions allows us to become more aware of our true feelings. However, the separation only occurs when we no longer identify with the character we have been playing and get in touch with our true selves.

Stage 4: Conjunction

The first three stages let you get rid of the inauthentic self. What happens to the authentic parts of you that remain?

You put them into great use in the conjunction stage. In this stage, we combine the tiny bits of our true self to form one harmonized self. This is coming together under the earth element as it is an embodiment process that supports the materialization of the spirit.

In this stage, you begin to feel harmonized in body and soul but still able to point out the different strands that make you a whole.

Stage 5: Fermentation

This is the beginning of spiritual rebirth. Fermentation describes the decomposing of one’s old self and the renewal of your new true self. The first four stages involved discarding inauthenticity and harmonizing authenticity. However, this stage involves now basking in our authenticity. We can link this stage to a rebirth of the phoenix from its ashes.

This stage can be categorized into two:

Putrefaction – the decaying of our former selves
Spiritualization – relieves us from the old world and allows us to see life from a new perspective

It is a stage accompanied by inner peace and contentment.

Stage 6: Distillation

So what next after going through the spiritualization phase? It is time to integrate the spiritual life and make it more permanent. Distillation is a level of purification that furthers the cleansing within ourselves. This purification process results in inner solid transformation and peace. It is a stage where you now understand your spiritual rebirth, self-realization, and enlightenment.

Stage 7: Coagulation

This is a stage where you have finally broken free from your mind. Here, you are connected to your soul and higher consciousness. This is like the meeting point of two complete opposites, such as hell and heaven or life and death. At this stage, the core of your existence is self-awareness; we are one body with our spirit.

However, you must note that we are not separate from the physical universe at this stage. We are one with the spirit but still a reflection of the physical universe.

The Bottom Line

Everyone’s journey is different but will somehow shape itself through the seven stages. These spiritual alchemy steps are a great way to build a new self. The idea behind Alchemy is that you can transform something into something more valuable. Just like the foundation was to transform metals into gold, you too can transform into a higher version of yourself. In addition, letting go of the burdens that hold you back will help you achieve the highest level of spirituality.
