I received my attunements many years ago and have not really used it. How can I reactivate the reiki energy?

Start practicing. Your still attuned, but maybe not 'feeling' it. It takes practice to get the body sensitive.
Don't hold back, and try and let go from any conditions or outcome.
I had something similar, where I had the attunements, but didn't practice, maybe on the odd occasion.

Reiki isn't a quick fix, but it is a help.

Also, ask for divine protection. (e.g. archangels, gaurdian angel/spirit animal etc.,)

Intent is key.

Start self-treating, every day, as much as you can. You don't have to precisely remember the hand positions, just mold them to your body in places that seem to need them. Or, start from your head and work down to your feet. Nights, when going to sleep; in the morning when you first wake, and any quiet moments during the day, or whenever you can spare at least one hand to rest it on your heart, stomach, hip, head, knee, foot -- wherever!

The key to awakening, or re-awakening Reiki, is self-treatment. The rest comes from that.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the replies.

- once you have done a number of sessions of Reiki for yourself, I very much encourage you to do hands-on reiki with others

- I would offer that there is no better way to develop one's connection to and familiarily with the energy than through hands-on practices with others

you can try meditating everyday.
It works for me.

I have ben meditating quite a bit and get a strong almost tingly sensation in the palms of my hands. I have tried to practise reiki on my cat but she doesn't seem to like it. :}

Maybe you can try distant healing on your cat.

Otoharo!

I experieced the same thing many years ago when I had a kitten and cat. I discovered that rarely does a cat need reiki. So I learned to tell her behavior patterns that showed me when she wanted reiki.

OK thanks for that,it's an interesting phenomena and I was going to start a new topic on the matter.
