Sai Ram. I am giving below a procedure for receiving the attunement for the First Degree of Usui Reiki System.

You can call down the attunement whenever you are ready. Pl. follow these steps:

1) Sit down or better lie down so that when you relax or go to sleep, it will be OK. Switch off your mobile etc. so that you are not disturbed.

2) Light some incense sticks or agar bathies or dhoop sticks or use some fragrant flowers to help you relax. Rub a few drops of a good aromatic essential oil like sandalwood or your own favorite to help
you relax. Don't use synthetic perfumes. If you are allergic to such perfumes, don't worry! Relax!

3) Put on some soothing relaxing music, devotional or otherwise. Music has a tremendous effect on our minds. So, if you listen to soothing calming music you will feel relaxed and are thus better prepared.

4) Do deep and slow breathing and relax. This step is very important and you can and should do it! Relax, relax, relax!

5) If you are religious, pray to your favorite God, Saint or Guru. Use the mantra given to you by your Guru and if you don't have one, use Sai Ram. Pronounced as Saayee Raam, it is a beautiful mantra. Relax! Relax, Relax!

6) Request mentally Reiki to start flowing through you, heal you and make you a worthy Reiki Channel. Relax and allow Reiki to flow through and enjoy the sensations if any. Don't bother if you don't feel any sensations! Reiki is still flowing through you. If it is essential in your healing and attunement process that you should be aware of it flowing, Reiki will ensure that you feel it in course of time! But basically remember that the more you relax, more Reiki will flow through you. Relaxing involves faith, trust and letting go.

7) Place your palms at the locations that you are taught in the first degree manuals available in this forum or online and or drawn to.

8) At the end of the session (when you feel the time is up or when you wake up from a state of relaxation or deep sleep!), thank Reiki and all Reiki Masters who made this possible.

9) Please go through the Reiki 1st Degree Manual and practice self healing.

10) Do self healing and cleansing for 3 weeks. Drink a lot of water and or vegetable and fruit juice.

11) Meditate daily. If you cannot meditate, pray. If you don't feel like that, no problem but do self healing.

You are welcome to share your experiences or your questions if any with me.

Blessings.
