The course itself took place on Saturday and Sunday in the teaching room. During the weekend we learned the history of the Usui Reiki system. We learned about grounding and protection, the hand positions, we meditated, received our attunements, and had lots of practice. The four attunements took place following meditation, while we sat quietly with eyes closed. Amber went round each novice making the attunement symbols for each person.
Some people have a quite dramatic experience with visual, auditory or emotional effects.
My state of bliss continued. The course ended at tea-time on Sunday. After exchanging names addresses and phone numbers and getting Amber's nut roast recipe we dispersed on Sunday evening. In fact I stayed overnight before driving back to Glasgow and so enjoyed an extra evening of good food and conversation with my two congenial hosts. This was a very complete and full experience of the Reiki attunement.
