Please review the Guide's section 4, "Receiving Your Master/Teacher Attunement" before you receive your Attunement. There is information about the Attunement and how to prepare for the Attunement within that section that is helpful to review before Attuning.

Additionally, please make sure you have waited a minimum of 21 days from the day you received your Level 2 Attunement before you receive your Level 3 Attunement.

Though not necessary, you may want to review the Symbols Cheat Sheet prior to your Attunement so you can meditate on becoming one with the Master symbol during your Attunement.

As a refresher from your Levels 1 and 2 Attunements, prior to receiving an Attunement, it is traditionally advised in Usui Reiki to take a few steps to prepare ourselves to best receive the energy. Here is a list of what is suggested:

Days Leading Up to the Attunement

(1) Avoid any alcohol or recreational drugs for at least 48 hours before your Attunement as substances may hinder the flow of Reiki throughout your body (this includes smoking. If you are taking prescription medication, please continue to do so!).

(2) Avoid meat, junk food and processed foods (stick with foods like salads, fresh vegetables and fruits) for the 24 hours prior to receiving your Attunement — our bodies use up a lot of energy digesting food. Proteins and processed/junk foods require more energy for our bodies to digest and therefore, may steal vital energy from us.

Day of Receiving Your Attunement

(1) If possible, move your body a bit before your Attunement- doing yoga, stretching or dancing to center yourself and to move energy around is perfect, even taking a short walk is great for shifting energy too.

(2) If possible, avoid caffeine. If you normally take a lot of caffeine every day, don't avoid it completely. Just limit if this is the case. For example, if you usually drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, only drink 1 cup before your Attunement. 

(3) Eat only fruit and vegetables leading up to your Attunement. They are easier for the body to digest and provide nourishment and energy.

(4) Mentally prepare yourself for the Attunement by being open to receive it. This can be in the form of meditation or simply just allowing yourself to be open without any expectations. 

As noted in the previous Guides, these are the traditionally suggested methods to best receive your Usui Reiki Attunements. How you prepare for your Attunement does not matter as much as your intention to connect with Usui Reiki and being open to receive the Attunement. Please make the decisions that are best for you!
