Sadly I didn’t write this … but I’m so glad I found it (on Facebook) to share
For those who may not know, an attunement in Reiki is basically a short ceremony that enables a student to channel Reiki healing energy at the level the student is studying. Attunements are often done face-to-face though are sometimes done at distance in person or at distance on-line. Both are effective but some insurers and professional organisations only recognise face to face/in person attunements and courses.
I’ve unexpectedly been involved in conversations about attunements in the last few weeks, with an experienced Reiki teacher and an experienced practitioner. The teacher said, “You don’t need an attunement – you only really need one for insurance/professional organisations,” and the practitioner said a teacher had told her you don’t need an attunement.
So whilst I’m familiar with the concept of self-attunements, I’ve again reflected and am drawn to share my thoughts as an experienced Reiki Trainer/Holistic Therapist with extensive work/life experience.
Again, I’ve concluded I enjoy offering attunements and experiencing them and will continue to offer them as part of my Reiki training courses. If you’ve got any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
If you’re curious about Reiki training, just trust your instincts when deciding with whom you want to make this important investment.
Saying kind, positive words to yourself mayn’t always be easy but listen to my short video to hear about my experience with what I’ve called alphabet affirmations …

I’ve been spring cleaning at home which led me to ponder altars. An altar can be a very personal thing and you don’t have to be religious to have one. Making an altar can help you shift your energy and attract positive things into your life.
An altar may be described as a point of reference for you/your mind and is a collection of special or sacred items that can help you create time for yourself, can help you focus on positive energy, can guide you towards peace and balance, and guide you towards finding answers to your questions.
An altar doesn’t have to be full of memorabilia, it can be a simple space where for instance you may just place some candles, a flower, some crystals, and a picture of a special person/deity and so on. When selecting objects to place on your altar, select items you find uplifting and that help you feel connected to a sense of hope and love.
An altar could simply be placed on a shelf that you sit by when you’re meditating. I’ve got one in my lounge that’s atop my bookcase!
Remember, there is No Wrong Way to build an altar.
