What happens in a Reiki attunement?

After giving 306 individual attunements to date, you'd think I'd have a straightforward answer!😊

In my latest article, I explore a question that has fascinated me for some time: how do we balance the sacred mystery of Reiki attunements with the importance of informed consent?

I share a little more about what actually happens during an attunement, reflect on my own experiences as both student and teacher and explore themes of intention, lineage and curiosity, amongst others.

Spoiler alert: I still don't have all the answers... and that's the point.

✨ Read the article over on my Substack here: https://alvechurchreikireflections.substack.com/p/what-happens-in-a-reiki-attunement (link also in bio)

✨ Experienced a Reiki attunement yourself? I'd love you to take part in my Reiki Research Project before the survey closes on 31 August 2026 at 4pm: link in bio

Now, that is the question! Especially if we are being asked to consent to receiving what we can’t fully have described to us…..

🌀Celebrating Five Years Since Shinpiden🌀

Last week marked five years since I completed Shinpiden (Reiki Master / Reiki Master Teacher level) in both Usui Reiki Ryoho and Usui Shiki Ryoho, alongside my two beautiful coursemates, who have since become lifelong friends, under the expert guidance of the wonderful Amanda White Amanda White.

🤍That course meant absolutely everything to me.🤍

I remember the complete immersion in learning, the profound experience of the Master attunement, the meditations on the Master symbol, the deepening of my understanding of this practice I had chosen and the expansion of awareness that came with it.

So much shifted for me during those four days. Yet attaining this level was by no means an arrival at “mastery”. In fact, it was only the beginning.

What does it mean to become a Master?…

For me, it means striving to master oneself through right thoughts, right actions and a commitment to living the Reiki Precepts. With practice and dedication, this evolves from something we do into something we are. Yet the beautiful paradox is that we can never truly be “Masters”, because we are all perpetual students, learning, growing and healing the lived experience every single day.

What Shinpiden gave me was the realisation that I was already enough. Perfectly imperfect, exactly as I was.

It marked the beginning of a journey away from anxiety and “not-enoughness”, towards healing and a deeper anchoring in the love and kindness at the heart of this beautiful practice.

I am eternally grateful that I found my way into Amanda’s classes, (seemingly by chance!) and for her mentorship, wisdom and beautiful example, which inspired me to create my own Reiki courses and teach in ways and in spaces I never could have imagined.

And I am equally grateful for the beautiful companionship of Helen | Reiki Master Teacher whose path has woven alongside mine through all these years, inspiring and guiding each other….

Five years on, I remain a student. Still learning. Still growing. Still healing. 🤍🤍🤍 That’s the Mastery!…

What do you love about yourself?

I LOVE that there is a flame in me, a ROARING voice that is louder than the self-sabotaging voice and it screams “OK. I can do this”

4.11miles ran this morning (I wonder why the 0.11 is always so important to me?….)….with so much stacked against me….
👎🏻no running buddy as she has blisters
👎🏻no AirPods so no podcast, audiobook or playlist
👎🏻forgot to eat anything first
👎🏻no run for a few weeks and some over indulgence in between

The little voice kicked in early on “this hurts….. I wobble as I run….. let’s make it a short one….” and it was silenced by a determination and a self belief that are now core deep in me 🤍

I made it all the way to the tunnel and back. I checked. The light is still there. My heron was there all the way along, too 🩶🤍

Inspired by Kirsty Gallagher who yesterday delivered a promised post honouring Lammas - an invitation to pause and celebrate what has flourished. She asked the question and shared her answer : what do you love most about yourself?

I mulled it and decided I couldn’t answer that. And then this morning, as I plodded along the canal, I realised I have so much I love about myself. So so much.🤍🤍🤍

What do you love about yourself? I’d love you to tell me in the comments……
