Don’t worry about losing the sensation of Reiki passing through your hands after an initiation. You have not lost Reiki but you just don’t feel it passing through your hands anymore. Let me tell you about my own harmonization experience to explain. In my first Reiki attunement, I felt nothing, except that in the attunement itself, I had an out-of-body experience. But even this out-of-body experience was particularly mundane; I went to a computer warehouse and stared at the shelves full of brown boxes! After this attunement, I also didn’t feel anything at all, but somehow I knew that I wanted to continue on this path. In my attunement to Reiki 2, I cried non-stop, although they were not tears of sadness. It was a very strange feeling, but my Reiki Master assured me that I should let it happen, and she gave me many tissues. After this attunement, I could always feel the Reiki come out of the palms of my hands. This was especially when I gave myself or someone else a healing. Three years later, I was ready for my Reiki Master training. During my Mastery attunement, I didn’t feel anything. And after this attunement, I lost the sensation of Reiki constantly flowing from my hands! However, by then, I was a full-time practitioner and my clients commented that they felt my energy was stronger in some way.
Later, I took another advanced tuning called Sakara. I didn’t feel anything in that tune either. However, would you believe it? After that, I felt the Reiki flow from my hands! But the story does not end there. I went to another advanced tuning afterwards. This was called Cahokia. It was an amazing workshop, I felt the attunement and then again I lost the sensation of Reiki flowing through my palms.
Through my experiences, I found that with each attunement, I became a better healer, regardless of how I felt during or after attunement. Reiki is felt in the effects it has on our lives. The desire to feel something while giving or receiving treatment is just our own need for reassurance and has nothing to do with Reiki. Now I trust that Reiki is doing its job and I just allow it to happen. Anyway, that’s my story. The way I see it, it doesn’t matter if you feel Reiki or not. It flows through anyway.
