The initial changes after Reiki initiation can vary for each student. For 21 days after your attunement, your body, mind and spirit goes through a cleanse or detox. It takes 3 days to go through each of the 7 major chakras, hence the 21 days. To assist you in becoming aware of the changes that you’re going through, I suggest that you record any physical changes, emotions or dreams that occur within this time in a diary. It is also recommended that you record self-treatments and treatments on others. One of the first things Reiki does is to detoxify the physical, mental and emotional body. Some common symptoms experienced are: Disruption of the skin Stomach upsets Headaches or fogginess Emotional releases & outbursts Laughing and feeling fantastic Vivid dreams & thoughts Positive changes in your life Allow yourself to go through this process with love and compassion. Remember to drink lots of water to facilitate this cleanse. And self-treatment daily is highly recommended throughout this 21-day period.
