Hi everybody, I'm new here.
I'm going to receive my first reiki attunement in a few days (I Degree) and am very excited. Any advice?

Hi Muchacha, welcome to Mystic Board

How exciting, I hope you have a wonderful experience.

Many people say that before your attunements it is best to live life cleanly, so no alcohol or tobacco, but lots of good food and water lol. Many say that vegetarian is best, because Usui was a vegetarian, but nowadays lots of students just carry on as normal but with resting more and drinking more water. More meditation can be good too.

You will find out lots more at your first meeting and your reiki master will be the best one to advise you on their beliefs and how they run the course and what to expect.

The main thing to do is to relax and enjoy yourself, and as the first reiki principle says, "just for today do not worry!"

Please come back and tell us how you got on

Hi Gem,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I received my first two attunements today and am still a little light-headed. I'm going back tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
I see that your post has the time 11:11pm (at least in my timezone), I'll take that as a good sign. Also, this morning on my way to my first meeting I saw a rainbow...
And I'm not worried at all, just excited!

Sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing with us, do let us know how you get on tomorrow

Rainbows can signify bountiful energy and a transformation from one thing to another, so very apt

When I went for my first reiki workshop I was driving down a country lane, rather nervous about going somewhere strange, and I came across a white dove walking in the road, I stopped and watched the dove, and waited, the dove turned to me and very slowly flew away.  I felt so relaxed when I carried on..
The strangest thing was on the way back, guess what?  There was another dove in the road at exactly the same place!!

Doves are a wonderful totem animal, they are peace and calmness and exude a cooling energy that relaxes all our emotions. They also foretell of a bright future and good things to come So I was really pleased that day.

The best way I can recomend is to drink lots of water and stock up on extra light bulbs for your home. When I got my first attunement, my body flushed out toxins. Drinking water helps you stay hydrated. Then every lightbulb in my house burnt out within 36 hours of my first attunement. I had to go to the store twice late at night to buy more. My teacher taught me a shielding technique to help prevent the electrical disruption, but it takes practice to master. You just visualize your protective sheild buffering the energy from affecting all things electrical. It sounds simple but for me it took time. Sometimes I still burn out lightbulbs if I'm not careful.
