Is it true that reiki attunements fade with time?

No, Reiki does not fade with time. Once a practicioner always a practicioner whether or not you use it. What happens is maybe you forget a position but it comes back to you. You can't screw up Reiki. It is not ours to screw up. We are merely a channel for the energy. Just like an extension chord. By itself it doesn't make the radio go however plug it into the outlet which is like the Universe, then it becomes a conduit for the energy to make the radio go. Positive and negative energy telling the differences. Positive energy is always done for the highest good. We send positive energy to the body and we take out the negative energy from the sick person that is not conducive to his healing. We feel the negative energy in his chi and aura and we drag it out. We can't catch his disease because the conduit only has a one way flow of energy. We take it out and throw it on the ground and mother earth will take that negative disease causing energy and recycle it.

I have 8 Reiki masterships. I have personally seen Reiki do amazing things, especially with healing horses.  I know people who have been part of reversals of cancer diagnoses in humans. I also know cases where it seemed not to work.\nWhen I channel Reiki (of whatever flavor) all I am is a conduit.  I'm basically like a straw, and the person (plant or animal) receiving the energy is actually pulling the energy through me.  Once it's inside them, it has its own intelligence. It works with that person/plant/animal's soul/core blueprint.  Sometimes the choice is NOT to heal--the lesson hasn't been learned or there is still some benefit to being unwell, or it's simply time to leave the planet.\nMy husband never felt anything when I attuned him to Reiki and only a slight warmth when I did a session on him. Then I learned a different style, called Shamballa Multi-Dimensional Healing, and he FELT it, he still feels it, he uses it.  That's why I know so many different types--different energies resonate with different people. But it all links back to the Source of All, and basically it's all just pure Love in energy form.

This is a loaded question. First, there are many kinds of 'Reiki' out there - and new ones being invented every day. The Reiki that was taught by Usui-San in the 1920's is very different from the Reiki that we have today. Reiki evolved from a spiritual/philosophical practice and has now become a hands on healing modality. \n\nOn Usui's own memorial inscription its states that 'anyone can access reiki because it begins within each of us.' In an interview in 1922, Usui went on to state that he 'received no special gift or empowerment.'\n\nThe attunements that Usui did were spiritual blessings or Recognition - denoting that the student had learned a certain body of knowledge that Usui was trying to convey (called Reiju). These Reiju did not confer the ability to access Reiki - practice and study by the student did.\n\nDr. Hayashi would change this attunement process into a vehicle that delivered the gift of reiki itself (called Denju). Lastly, Takata would change it again and bring it to the USA - as the Reiki gift itself.\n\nMost Reiki teachers today follow the Takata teachings and believe strongly in the attunement process to convey Reiki ability. \n\nIn order to be able to access 'Reiki' on your own, you would have to undergo extensive training in matters relating to the spirit and mind - the average person would not be able to achieve this - especially today. It is much easier just to receive modern attunements / empowerments.

Reiki itself is a Japanese spiritual system that has been used in Japan at least back until the Meiji period, where spiritualist, shaman, and priests used this term to describe their practices. The first time a book was printed about Reiki was in 1919 by a Therapist from Japan.\n\nThe Reiki that we have commonly come to know today as 'Reiki' started life as a spiritual system taught by a Japanese man named Mikao Usui. In around the year of 1920 Usui, a devout Buddhist, had a Satori (a breakthrough, enlightenment) that allowed him to realize that the ultimate goal in life was to live by "unity of self through harmony and balance". He created a system for doing so, based on Buddhist and Shinto beliefs that were held outside the confines of the very controlling Japanese government during his time (in Usui's time, Religion that was not state run was forbidden). In around 1921 he started to teach others his system, calling it a 'philosophical' path, which was controlled by the Japanese Department of Education.\n\nIn around 1922, Usui's friend started to teach his own 'philosophical' path that included hand healing as part of the practice. This system was based heavily on folk Shinto - which was outlawed during this time. In 1923, Usui added hand healing to his practice, as well as blessing ceremony (the predecessor to todays attunement) - both derived from his friend.\n\nIn 1925, several Japanese Navy Admirals joined Usui's School. They became very interested in the hand healing methods, and, shifted focus of the school to devoting their time refining their practice at it. In 1926, Usui would pass away, leaving the school to his senior students and his friend. \n\nIn 1926, these people would found the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai - a memorial group dedicated to the work of Usui. They would recognize Usui, posthumously, as their first President. They would teach both Usui's spiritual system as well as hand healing. As time went on, less and less of Usui's spiritual system was being taught, reserved for more advanced students. Newer students would be taught hand healing methods instead.\n\nIn around 1928, Usui's friend would leave the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai because of disagreements that he had with the way things were being run. He went on to found his own spiritual system and taught his own hand healing method. \n\nIn 1930ish, Dr. Hayashi, one of the Navy Admirals, would leave the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai because of differences in how things were being run. He went on to create his own style of Reiki (with many changes - focusing primarily on Hand healing), and, run his own healing clinic.\n\nIn 1935, a woman would seek out Hayashi for Reiki treatments and would be successfully healed by Hayashi. She would go on to learn Reiki from Hayashi. Her name was Hawayo Takata. \n\nIn 1938, Takata would bring 'Hayashi Reiki' to America, change it again, and call it Usui Shiki Ryoho. At this point, her Reiki looks nothing like the Reiki that the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai was teaching. Her Reiki was taught as a hand healing method and lacked much of the traditional spiritual teachings as well as the meditative practices common in Traditional Reiki.\n\nIn 1941, Japan would bomb Pearl Harbor. Americans would hate ANYTHING having to do with Japan. Knowing this, Takata would re-write Reiki history, telling a tale of Usui being both a Doctor and a Christian Minister. She did this with hopes that the USA was a very Christian Society, so, if she could make Reiki and Usui linked to Christianity, Americans would not have prejudices against either. Also, Takata believed that Doctors were universally accepted, so, making Usui a Doctor, she believed that Americans would be further put at ease. \n\nAfter this, Takata would go on to teach 22 Reiki Masters with this 'new' Reiki. These 22 Masters would spread out across America and teach this system to the masses. This is where American Reiki w

I am a reiki master.  I have had a wild deer in the forest come out to observe the energy when i had a group of trainees with me at Bloomington, Indiana.  It was very special . the deer came right up into the clearing beside the road and stood looking at us from about 20 feet   we did not move.

You move on as well.  Time heals.  Every person has a different amount of time that it takes to heal.  You will have scars.  But scars are a sign of healing.  Move forward.  One day at a time.  Good luck to you.

Hi it's easy to find Reiki Masters these days. There are several Yahoo Groups where Reiki Masters can be found. Just simply go to Yahoo Groups and enter Reiki in the Groups search.

Well, the "in between" are still dead, but yes, there are souls that don't know they're dead.  This happens primarily when a person dies a tragic death, e.g. in an accident.  Sometimes, when they don't want to go to the Light, because they feel they have something to take care of, they will also be Earth-bound.\nIt has been reported that on occasion, a spirit could drain a person's energy, but that is also true for the living.\nSpirits see both, dead and alive.  You can't guarantee anything, including what you will WILL yourself to do after your body dies.

I don't know where you can get the story, but it may be affliated with Reiki.  A Reiki practitioner once brought me through it.  It's a form of visual imagery.

Yes it does. Reiki will balance the chakras (energy centers) and with this energy balanced will help the patient get out of that depression, you have to be careful an actually know how to care of that patient, if there is depression there will be emotional baggage coming out so you will have to be ready to help that patient. if that patient is willing meditation will help as well. Good luck and god bless.

Astral time travel maybe.Why do people always think you have to physically go somewhere?Most of it will become memories of past tense anyway right? Less is more.You could spend 8 hrs plugged into the Matrix and come out with  years worth of experiences and memories. Look into remote viewing.

There is some misinformation out there that Reiki is associated with Christianity. When Reiki was introduced to America in the 1930's, the woman (Takata) who introduced it created a story that described Usui (the founder of the Usui Reiki system) as a Christian Minister as well as being a Doctor. Through modern research, as well as talking with people who worked with Usui, we now know that neither of these teachings are true. Usui-San was a devout Buddhist who was many things in his life, but, a Doctor was not one of them. A Christian Minister was also not one of his trades.\n\nThis rather long drawn out story was concocted because Takata had to teach Reiki in America after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. ANYTHING Japanese during that time was hated by American. Takata felt that if she related Reiki and Usui to Christianity it would be accepted by a mostly Christiain society. She also felt that by calling Usui-San a Doctor, that Doctors were universally accepted and this too would help to overcome the Japanese prejudice found here in the USA during that time. It is still common today to hear people refer to Usui-San as a Doctor. I know of a group of Nuns who practice Reiki and teach both of these bits of misinformation.\n\nIt is also a common bit of misinformation to translate Reiki as "universal energy", where Reiki is thought of as purely a hands on healing modality. This is because the Japanese language has changed over time. The Reiki that Usui taught was named in old Kanji (old Japanese language). The common mis-translation in todays Reiki world comes from the use of new kanji (new Japanese language) script to make the translation.\n\nIn the Usui Reiki Ryoho style of Reiki (the most traditional form of Reiki), it is traditionally taught that the word Reiki - translated in the old Kanji script - means "spiritual essence" or "essence of being" and expounds the teachings of Usui-San - who was teaching a spiritual belief system where hand healing was but a very small part of the entire system. Those that worked with usui have said that when Usui talked of hand healing he did not use the word Reiki. Instead, when he talked of Reiki, he talked about our link with our essence of being - our connection with the past, present, and future.\n\nIf you go way back in Japanese history and look at healing of 'dis-ease' you will come to find that this was primarily done by Shaman and Priests - because disease was associated with either malicious or embittered spirits. It was the job of these priests to coerce the spirits to leave the afflicted individual through various means. One of these practices involved something called Teate (translated to mean 'placing of hands'). Teate, over time, evolved with the medical advancements of Japanese society. Perhaps the most notable addition to Japanese healing would come from the Chinese between the 7-9th centuries. During this time Chinese Trad Medicine would be introduced to Japan and would be accepted and integrated into the more traditional Japanese folk medicines. Chinese Trad Medicine would introduce the human energy system to the Japanese - meridians, Tan Tien, and Chi. The Japanese would take and adapt these theories into what they believed, creating similar, yet different, concepts. Another Chinese system that the Japanese would adapt would be Chi Gung (or Qi Gung) which was the projection of energy for the use of healing. The Japanese would use the term 'Kiko' to describe their practice.\n\nIn the west, it is a common mistake to simplify and associate in order to make ideas and concepts easier to understand. Unfortunately, by doing so, the subtle nuances and differences are lost that make these very things unique and different. This can readily be seen when many talk about energy work. It is a common practice to say Chi=Ki=Prana=Odinic=etc.., etc.. when, in fact, these different representations are different because they work wit

An atunement from a Reiki master. I heard a story about someone with cancer having excellent luck with Reiki. I know a Reiki master who often volunteers at the local cancer center. it might be worth checking out.

you asked this 2 weeks ago but you can use the options of the format for the dull/fade and it sounds like that should do it

I've had that problem a few years back and it lasted for several months, but it faded away as time goes on.  Don't worry, it will subside...
