Energetic cleansing prior to giving Reiki attunements is of great importance. It helps create a pure and clear energetic space for both the Reiki Master and the recipient, facilitating a deeper and more effective attunement process. Here are a few reasons why energetic cleansing is crucial:
- Purifying the Energy Field: Energetic cleansing techniques such as smudging, sound healing, or visualization help remove any stagnant or negative energies that may be present in the environment. By creating a clean and harmonious atmosphere, the flow of Reiki energy becomes unobstructed.
- Enhancing Sensitivity: Cleansing practices increase the Reiki Master’s sensitivity to energy. By purifying their own energy field, they become more attuned to subtle energetic shifts and can better facilitate the attunement process.
- Creating Sacred Space: Energetic cleansing rituals help in establishing a sacred space for the attunement ceremony. It sets the intention and invites spiritual presence, creating an atmosphere of reverence, trust, and focus.
- Removing Personal Energy: Prior to giving attunements, it is important for Reiki Masters to clear their own energy as well. This ensures that they are not transferring their personal energy or any unwanted emotions to the recipient during the attunement process. It allows them to be a clear and neutral channel for the Universal Life Force energy.
By incorporating energetic cleansing practices into their attunement rituals, Reiki Masters can create an optimal environment for the attunement process, supporting the overall effectiveness and purity of the energy being transmitted.
Reiki Master Energetic Cleansing Rituals

Prior to embarking on the journey of attunements, it is of utmost importance for Reiki Masters to devote themselves to clear out any stagnant energy. They must also nourish their mind, body, and spirit, embracing a holistic approach that will establish a robust foundation for the attunement process. Only by doing so can they unlock their full potential to transmit healing energy with fiery effectiveness. Allow me to present you with some ardently crafted steps to consider:
- Meditation and Grounding: Reiki Masters can start by practicing meditation and grounding techniques to center themselves and connect with their inner peace. This helps them release any stress, tension, or distractions, allowing them to be fully present during the attunement.
- Self-Reiki: Self-Reiki is a powerful practice that involves treating oneself with Reiki energy. By performing a self-healing session before giving attunements, Reiki Masters can cleanse and balance their own energy, promoting a state of harmony and well-being. This practice also allows them to replenish their energy reserves, ensuring they are energetically prepared for the attunement process.
- Physical Cleansing: Taking care of the physical body is equally important. Reiki Masters can engage in activities such as taking a relaxing bath, practicing yoga, or going for a walk in nature. These activities help release any physical tension, clear the mind, and promote a sense of rejuvenation.
- Sacred Rituals: Incorporating sacred rituals into their routine can further nourish the mind, body, and spirit. This can include lighting candles, using aromatherapy, or engaging in prayer or affirmations. These rituals create a sacred space and enhance the overall energetic atmosphere for the attunement.
- Balanced Diet and Hydration: Reiki Masters should pay attention to their nutrition and hydration to keep their physical bodies balanced. Consuming wholesome, nourishing foods and drinking plenty of water supports vitality and ensures optimal energy flow.

By following these steps, Reiki Masters can cleanse their energy, cultivate inner harmony, and nourish themselves on multiple levels. This comprehensive approach empowers them to be clear channels for the Reiki energy, fostering a deeper and more transformative attunement experience for both themselves and their recipients.
As I prepare to gift the blessing of Reiki II next week, I am intrinsically aware of my sensory consumption. Limiting toxic media, avoiding energetically unsound spaces, and cultivating a nutritious balanced diet will ensure I am prepared in body, mind, and spirit. Incorporating additional meditative self-Reiki sessions and adequate physical exercise only increases my vital energy and awareness, allowing an openness, a deep resonant connection to the universal consciousness.
