First – ‘cleanse’ the room by drawing out all 4 symbols in the air. Then draw the cho-ku-rei on to the palms of your hands. Then draw the cho ku rei on all of your chakras. And finally draw one large cho-ku-rei over the front of your body. Then sit comfortably with your back straight and your hands in prayer position. Use whatever relaxation techniques that you are comfortable with.
State your intention that you are going to carry out a Reiki Self attunement. You can ask for any guides, angels, ascended masters, spirit helpers, or indeed anyone that you are comfortable with, and that you would like to assist you in the process.
If you like you can play music, light candles, burn incense, anything that feels ‘right’ to you. You may even like to have a bath or shower beforehand as a kind of cleansing ritual. (bear in mind that none of these are strictly necessary for the process to work – but it can help to get you into a receptive frame of mind)
When you are relaxed and ready - Visualise the crown chakra on the top of your head as a lotus flower which now begins to open up, petal by petal. When you feel that it is open enough then visualise a golden white light coming down from the heavens - a broad shining channel which enters your crown chakra and fills it with golden white light. This light fills your whole head.
The picture the golden white light moving down and filling your brow chakra – and flooding it with light.
Then bring it down to your throat chakra – flooding it with light – And so on – brining the golden white light down into all your chakras – filling them all with golden white light and having the light fill up your entire body, arms, legs and feet, so that you are sitting filled entirely with golden white light. As you breathe in and out feel the light permeating out of all the pores in your body and spreading out all around you & info infinity.
Now when you are ready – it is time to bring down the symbols from the heavens above – through the golden white channel of light and into your crown chakra.
First see the cho-ku-rei coming down from above and entering your crown (say cho-ku-rei three times as it enters your crown) - then visualise the CKR moving down the inside of your head, down through all the chakras until you reach the root chakra. Visualise this as a red ball of fire with the cho-ku-rei swirling around inside it.
Next do the same thing with the Sei-he-ki……saying the name three times as it enters your crown, bring it down all through your chakras and have it lodge itself in your root chakra with the CKR.
The the same thing with the Hon sha ze sho nen
When all four symbols are lodged in your root chakra then open your hands and place them like an opened book in front of you.
Now visualise the symbols one at a time again.
First visualise the cho-ku-rei over your palms (say the name three times) and see it disappear inside your palms.
Then do the same thing with the sei-hei-ki, seeing it disappear into your palms - and finally the hon-sha-ze-sho-nen.
When this is completed then bring your attention to the back of your neck, just at the base of your skull - Visualise a small door there – which you are going to seal permanently – as a symbol of the permanency of the attunement.
This door is golden in colour and you should visualise it being sealed for ever in a manner that makes sense to you. It can be a golden key locking the door and then melting to become an integral part of the door which can never be removed, or a small golden padlock being closed and disappearing into the door so that it cannot be seen, or any other sealing method you like.
Finally visualise the cho-ku-rei drawn over the door and affirm “I now seal this Reiki attunement with divine intent for now and all time”
The attunement is now finished and you have successfully attuned yourself to Reiki!
The method given is the FULL singular attunement.
