Article by Tracie (Eaves) Talbott

There appears to be quite a lot of confusion with regards to Usui Reiki attunements. Do I actually need an attunement to follow Usui Reiki? Do I must be attuned to Animal Reiki to deal with animals? There are such a lot of forms of Reiki, do I must be attuned to all of them? Do distance attunements work? Can I obtain my attunement mechanically by studying a e-book about Reiki or by watching an attunement video on YouTube? These are a couple of questions on attunements that I hear frequently.

So…what’s the cope with Reiki attunements? Opinions differ vastly, however right here is mine. Sure, that you must be attuned to Reiki by a Reiki Grasp to develop into an Usui Reiki practitioner.
