I got my first attunement yesterday, and I didn't feel anything. I was kind of disappointed. However after our attunements we had to partner up, and I happened to partner up with a master and we practised using reiki for about 5 minutes by just putting our hands on their shoulders. When he did it to me, I felt an incredible warmth from my neck to my waist. I even felt like I was starting to sweat. It was really a cool experience. When we were done, the pain in my back and shoulders that I have had for over a month was temporarily gone. This is the first experience I felt with reiki. The day after my attunement, I got a pretty bad migraine. I left church early to come home and rest. I lost my peripheral vision on my left side and I tried to eat, but I almost threw it up. Once my vision got better I took a ride over to the monestary where I got my attunement done. I found the brother and the father that gave me the attunement. They took me back into there healing room and did some accupressure, craniosacral stuff, and some reiki. They told me a lot about myself that was true sort of like they were psychiatrists. They told me this was a detox headache. They said that the day of my attunement my shoulders and neck were very tight and blocking the energy from my head but now they were relaxed and all the energy rushed to my head. They told me that I seemed mentally tired and I needed a day just to rest. He put some kind of ointment on my temples and back of my neck. He didn't tell me what it was for, but it smelled really good. After the session, I felt a lot better. My migraine was just a headache now and they said I would have to let this one run it's course. I am glad I went back over to see them. They were at a picnic, but they were happy to leave and help me. Over all it was a good experience. I hope to do reiki II real soon. I signed up for it on Oct 31.
