Overview
An attunement is a sacred initiation in energy lineages such as Reiki. It is less a certificate and more a transmission: your system is prepared to channel in a new way. Students often remember the quiet awe of that moment for years.
How it works
A teacher guides ritual, instruction, and the attunement itself, followed by practice and integration. Lineages differ in levels and timing. Ethical teachers emphasize practice, humility, and care for clients, not hierarchy for its own sake.
