The Key
The Attunement Opens the Channel
To practice Reiki, you need an attunement. The attunement opens your energy channel. It connects you to Reiki energy.
The attunement is given by a qualified Reiki master. It is a gentle ceremony. It opens the channel.
After the attunement, you can practice Reiki. You can practice on yourself. You can practice on others. You can practice on animals and plants.
