Reiki and BDSM - 5/22/2008 11:45:12 AM

Status: offline 		Though things didn't work as planned, a question came up this week that I am wanting to know what others who had have a reiki attunements thought. I was going to take a class where i would recieve attunements for my first level, and I was also asked to play with someone this same weekend. My concern was the mixing of energy. Not that they are diffrent, or that the two can't inter mingle and be used together. I have seen my friends after an attunement, and they always seem very ungrounded and drunk. So I am wondering if it would have been safe to go on with my plans for both? And what has been your experiences if you have any.
Thank you

Interesting side effect...
 
i have recieved both Reiki 1 and 2 attunements and i remember feeling a bit tired but my primary reaction was a heightened sense of awareness. Everything seemed more pronounced, vivid and beautiful.
The energy from "play" should not interfere with the reiki attunements. However, i was asked to do specific preparations prior to the attunements and if your play is before the attunements it could interfere with you personal preparedness~

What type of prep work did you need to do? I had already decided a relaxing night the night before, because i don't want to be too tired. My othere friend said that is more how she felt when getting her attunements.

These are the instructions my Reiki Master gave to me:
 
In quiet time, 1 week before your Attunement, follow these steps:
􀂃 Eat light and nature foods. Stay away from heavy, processed foods and meat.
􀂃 Drink plenty of water and fresh fruit juices. Eat water based fruits to flush the
system. Drink large amounts of water, with lemon; a natural purifier and
energizer.
􀂃 Minimize or eliminate your use of coffee, sweets, soft drinks, chocolate and
caffeine. Keep your system as pure as possible.
􀂃 Do not drink any alcohol or use intoxicants at least 3 to 7 days prior to your
Attunement.
􀂃 If you smoke, refrain as much as possible in the 3 to 7 days prior to your
Attunement. On the day of the Attunement refrain from smoking completely if
possible.
􀂃 Spend a total of 1 hour everyday in silence. Mediate, walk and allow yourself
quiet reflection time, in silence and alone. Give the Universe and the Source of
all Life, a chance to talk to you.
􀂃 Listen and be attentive to your feelings, thoughts and impressions, prior to your
Attunement. Write them down and read them everyday upon waking.
Journaling is an excellent way to record your soul wisdom prior to your Reiki
Attunement.
􀂃 Suspend all emotions of fear, jealousy, judgment of others, hate, anger,
resentment, etc. See the Miracle of the Source within everyone. Create a sacred
space all around you and allow yourself to process emotions without
attachment.

Naturally, i had to have my coffee in the morning - the world would not have rotated on its axis properly if i abstained from that, Otherwise, i followed these pretty close. Knowing that what he was doing in preparation was much more restrictive made it easier to comply. This was something i did and do take seriously as it is an important aspect of my livelihood as a healer.

I've been a Reiki teacher for about 12 years now and the list that Dawntreader gave is pretty similar to the list I give to my potential students.

I have had students in the past that were also very active in the BDSM lifestyle and I suggested that they wait at least 3 days after the attunement before playing......... preferrably 21 days in order to be able to fully go thru the flushing of toxins and the mental and emotional and spiritual changes that occur.  They waited and were glad they did.

I feel there is so much to experience with the Reiki attunements that I would never want to take away from that singular experience by adding something else with it.

When I am preparing for classes, I don't play for at least a week ahead of time.  I concentrate fully on what I am about to be doing with my students.

Status: offline 		Dawn, These are awesome! I to am planning on going into the feild of healing, and is why I am wanting my Reiki attunement. Though this has been put on hold, I plan on waiting for another class. Many things on your list I have already been starting to do in my dialy life, because there are basic ways of keeping the body pure of toxins and the mind in a space of peace. Though i do have to say the last two are the hardest, and I am with you there on the coffee. Thank you, Celeste

Status: offline 		Mama, this is the exact advice I was looking for. I have no clue as to waht to be prepared for with an attunement, because i have never had one. Seeing my friends is diffrent then personal, but at the same time I had figured that I would be going through some type of physical changes. Hence the question of is it safe. I am prepared for my hands to just turn on out of the blue, but my hands already do that and I haven't even got the attunement. And then there is the life changes that is brought on by an attunement, i have watched my friends lives completely change and always for the better. Again thank you..:)

You are most welcome.  Feel free to message me on the other side if you would like to discuss any of it off-boards.

I wish the very best to you in the health field-- it's very fulfilling!
