Reiki Cleansing

Reiki cleansing is a process of change, detoxification and assimilation of the energies. Usually one is required to undergo purification prior to receiving Reiki attunement or treatment. It's a 21-day process where one must unleash the old mental, emotional, physical and spiritual substance. As anxiety in any form is harmful for the body, it should be cleared (purification) so that the body can regain the balance. During the 21-day cleansing process, the first week is believed to be concentrated on personal issues, physical and emotional growth.

The second week is centered on relationships, community issues and mental integration, whereas the third week focuses on spiritual change. It is not certain that everyone would observe the symptoms after a treatment or attunement. Since Reiki works on all levels, whether emotional, mental, spiritual or physical, it affects each and every area of life. In case one notices symptoms, a positive attitude towards those changes will be of great help. This entire process results into increased energy levels, which will balance the body.

Cleansing Process

Physical Purification
Whilst Reiki is cleaning the physical body, one can experience flu-like symptoms and slight discomforts with painful muscles, fever, headache, sore throat, excessive mucus, coughing, constipation, diarrhea, etc. Once the toxins are released, your body would be all cleansed and balanced. To minimize the effects, you must go for walks in countryside, do mild exercising or yoga, breathe fresh air and drink lots of water. Have light nourishing meals, consisting of fruits, vegetables and juices.

Emotional Purification
As and when the cleansing of the emotional body happens, emotions like anger, frustration, grief, fear, sadness, etc may come out for no evident reasons. These emotions are usually the ones that have been suppressed in earlier times, both of life and past. They get released from the nadir of your physical matrix or more from your cellular level of body and mind. In this situation, don't get emotionally affected and let these emotions go. You can reduce the effects by meditating and doing gentle breathing exercises. A long hot bath in salts would definitely relax you.

Mental Purification
During the purification of the mental body, one can notice the old thought forms, behavior patterns, habits or addictive desires for food, beverages, nicotine, caffeine and alcohol boosting up. Sometimes, you can be surrounded by thoughts of judgment, blame, victimization, abuse, denial, self-destruction and self-pity. You must have come across these issues in your life and it's absolutely fine to get into such situation. Let these desires and feelings to go off and change your thoughts to positive ones. To minimize the effects, don't get irritated and try to do things which make you feel happy. You can repeat positive statements, mantras, or listen to your favorite music.

Spiritual Purification
When the spiritual purification occurs, one's beliefs might be shaken and challenged. Beliefs like what is important in your life, how relationships should be, how the world operates or what is religion. With this, suddenly your insights, revelations and new understanding would get clear. And these will become the elements of your new and ever-changing spiritual foundation. At this point of time, you must talk to people who are experiencing the same things to lessen your effects. Try to read inspiring spiritual books, listen to motivational tapes and take care of yourself with love and kindness. Since you are gaining new heights of understanding, be at peace and let everything go.
