Reiki Attunement
A Reiki Attunement is a very beautiful and powerful initiation. It is delivered by a Reiki Master to the student and the purpose of it is to "Attune" the student to Reiki.
The word attune means:
to bring into accord, harmony, or sympathetic relationship.
Three Levels of Attunement
Attunement to Reiki is Split up into three levels.
At Reiki 1 your first attunement will mark your initial commitment to Reiki and you will gain the ability to carry out Self healing. and to treat others with reiki.
Your Reiki 2 attunement introduces you the 3 of the 4 Reiki symbols and attunes you to the use of them in your treatments. The introduction and use of the Reiki Symbols increases the power of the Reiki and at level 2 you will also learn how to address mental and emotionl issues and also to heal at a distance.
Reiki 3 or Reiki Master Allows you to attune others and also serves to boost and clarify your own use of Reiki.
Further Study

This information is made availuable to the student at the appropriate each level of attunement
Other than that, Reiki is transmitted via the attunement.
