You have the energy before you are attuned, and once you have been attuned you have a better understanding of it. You already had it inside. The attunement simply makes you aware of the energy being there and trains you to understand and work with it. Cleansing your aura and re-aligning your chakra's will help with the reiki energy. If any of the central chakra's are blocked so to will be the Chi. As a RMT, I have had others ask the very same question you just asked and my answer was the same. We are born with this already, we only need to remember how to use it to help ourselves and others. That's where the attunement was helpful. Now, after re-balancing yourself, you will find that after any block are cleared the energy will flow again quite easily. Many use this energy without ever training in reiki. They are called natural healers. That's what I was before a friend, who is a reiki master talked me into attunements so I could teach it to others. I hope this helps.

lol Julie !
I was going to say something but you covered it!

I to was a natural healer before learning Reiki I am an Intuitive healer but knowing reiki is very helpful !
learning about chakras is very important even if you are not going to do Reiki

To again do reiki, just think positively and start doing reiki. it will flow automatically.

yes but I like that fact that there is a system that you use when doing reiki.

it all depends on the will power of the practitioner.
