I don't understand them at all. What are they? What are they supposed to do? As far as I can tell, it's about the same thing as putting your name on a prayer list or whatever they are. Are they fanciful and substanceless? Anyone have any experience with them?

I think a Reiki attunement is something that you have done when you want to start practising reiki yourself. I think it is a hands on thing that a Reiki master does to attune you so that you are able to do it.
I've never had this so I might be wrong but I think I heard that somewhere.

its long ago, thats why I forgot, but yesterday I remembered being invited once by a reiki-friend to lay down on a bed and enjoy.. it was a kind of wooden bed and there were strings put on under the bed in a hollow space. Then she was sitting beside the bed and playing that strings while I was laying on the bed, being flushed with this wonderful vibrations. Maybe maybe this could be meant.. ?? Like in the word is also "tune".. but now my wisdom is finished on this one.. haha best regards to mactombs and Megan nani

Hey guys, I have had reiki attunements and maybe can explain a little about it. Reiki is a hands on healing process, but can be done long distance too.
Religious beliefs vary in Reiki practice. Everyone from Baptist to Buddist and everywhere inbetween can and do use Reiki.
It is simply taking in the energy from the universe and transfering it to someone in need. It may mean to draw in this energy and moving through your own body as needed.
I have my level 2 Reiki and am studying for Master level. Anyone can do it. Even without an Attunment we all have that ability, but the attunments seem to put me personally more in touch with the all essential energy needed for healing.
The attunments I have recieved are from a wonderful Reiki Master in Scotland. I have never met him in person, but what great changes have taken place in my life since I have come into contact with this wonderful person.
Each Attunment is different and each one is more powerful than the first. The first one that I recieved was so powerful I don't know if I can do it justice to try to explain. I was told to drink water before hand to get in a quiet place to ground myself and to relax.
I felt when this man began to work on me. I was in the USA and he was in Scotland. But I felt the energy waves coming into my very being. I opened my eyes once during the attunment and it was like I was seeing through water. I realized that it was literally the energy waves that I was seeing.
Afterwards I felt empowered, strong and very purpose filled. I felt great! When trying to put into words how I felt during this attunement, I can say that I felt like a tuning fork. I went from one end of the vibratory scale to the other and my life is changed forever, for the better.
Attunments last a life time and I suggest it to anyone who is serious in Energy Healing of any kind.
With Reiki 1 you can use Reiki anytime anywhere for anyone you feel lead to use it for, including yourself.
With Reiki 2 you can send Reiki anywhere in time in the universe.
With Master Level you can then give attunments to others.
{Peace} Martha

Thanks for the replies!
Your experience with the attunement sounds neat, Martha. I think I would like to try it, if only out of curiousity.
On the other hand, I have heard of reiki "masters" charging inordinate amounts of money for attunements. I know there are free ones as well, and as far as I'm concerned, if it helps other people, why shouldn't it be free?
Where might one go for an attunement?

You are quite right about the prices sometimes. There are those that charge and those that do it for free.
I was fortunate, Heather from the wb forum, introduced me to the Reiki Master in Scotland. He did not charge.
Back in the day it cost as much as $10,000 to receive an attunment. The masters of old, thought that people would take it more seriously, if it cost alot. I am afraid that some people that get things for free don't value these precious gifts.
The man that I have gotten these attunments from is so bombarded I don't know if he is doing these attunments now, but I will be glad to check with him to see.
The Master attunment that I am studing for, he will have to charge for. There are papers that he will be sending me from Scotland and that will cost him. I don't know yet what the price for this is.
I do know that there is a Master Lee that does some things for free. Not sure of the address, but try just typing in his name and see if you can find him.
You won't regret it. This is the most empowering thing I have ever experienced. If that doesn't work out for you. When I get my Master, I will hook you up.....
Have a blessed day, and Peace to you, Martha

I did a Reiki attunement long-distance to Master Level ... not sure if it made a difference, but who knows ...
Did I feel anything different? No. Is it just a placebo? I don't know. If there can be opening of people to broaden their intake of energy, then I want a part of it, and I certainly would like to share it. Now all I need is some experience to say such is possible ...
Maybe an in-person attunement would help in this way ... fortunately, I know someone locally who can do this (it does cost $50).
I'll post if I have any experience with it I can share.
Oh, and I don't think you're crazy, Martha with your experience of feeling and seeing the energy (jealous, maybe!). And I'm saying this because I used to think people were crazy like that, but once I got to know someone who is sensitive to energy, I know better. I'm pretty low on the scale of sensitivity to energy, but I'm trying to get better at it.
