Occasionally, there are times when we as Reiki Masters would like to share Reiki with someone (a friend, family member, loved one) and the limits of distance prevent us from being there with them.  Distant Attunements are one way to bridge this gap and to allow us to be able to share this great gift with others.

Distant Attunements are easy to perform if you are familiar with a "hands-on" attunement procedure.  There is no special procedure to perform, just some slight modifications to the regular attunement set you are familiar and comfortable with.  The modifications will be described below.

Some people have difficulty with the concept of distant attunements, and have some issues with the process.  These are discussed in my article on this website on Distant Attunements.

Distant Attunement Procedures

1.  Use your regular attunement set that you are familiar and comfortable with.

2.  This practice is best done by either arranging a set time with the person for them to receive, or to be on the telephone or on-line with them.

3.  Have them meditate, pray or other activity to clear the mind and prepare for about 20 minutes prior to the start time of the attunement.

4.  You must both state clearly that the intent for the attunement to be done.

5.  Begin the attunement as usual.  State clearly that you intend to attune the person.  Draw the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen in the air and state that you intend this to be fully empower the person.

6.  Some people use a teddy bear, photo or other proxy to gain an energetic rapport with the person to be attuned.  This can be helpful.  You can also just "feel" the sense of them and do it.  These are nice ways to "feel" the connection, but simply intend and will the attunement to be done, and perform it.  Trust the divine source and the reiki attunement will be done.

7.  Perform the attunement.  Visualize doing it.  See the symbols and draw them as usual.
 

Following these easy steps will fully allow someone via diatance to be attuned to reiki.
