My first reiki attunement

Happy Beltane to everyone

I want to share my most recent experiences with you all.

I was attuned to reiki III last year but chose to take the teacher bit of the attunement separately and had that two weeks ago.

I have a very close friend, Paula, who asked me months ago if I would attune her to reiki II when I was ready.

THAT WAS TODAY.

I was very nervous, very excited and very emotional. It was beautiful - we did it in the gardens of a local small castle - bright blue skies, shining sun, purple hyacinths growing right in front of us, hedges all around - a magnificant experience.

I never saw myself as a teacher - couldn't get my head round it at all. However, I became aware one night two or three months ago that the time was now so my husband attuned me while on holiday in Spain.

That was very special. It was also outside - blue skies, mountains in the background, vineyards in the valley in the foreground and a church high on the hill exactly opposite. I had a flash vision of the virgin mary which surprised me very much and I was very emotional then too.

On the practice runs I've had I've sweated buckets and cried more buckets after the 'attunement' on my husband as a tester. I sweated more today with Paula too. (I should be pounds lighter tomorrow!! :-}}} )

I feel so honoured to be able to do this. I'd heard other people saying that and thought it was just words but really is the closest I can get to the feelings inside me to explain how I feel about this.

I have no idea where this is going - perhaps Paula will be the only person I ever attune. Who knows. I'm going to take one step at a time and see where I am led.

I have done so much work on myself with the help of so many - my husband, family, friends both here and on the internet, spirit guides, angels etc etc. I wouldn't be where I am without you all.

Namaste everyone

Love

Eleanor

Namaste Eleanor!
Congrats on a wonderfully memorable experience! Just reading about attunements outdoors sounds wonderful! Something I have not considered. It is indeed an honour and privlege to pass attunements, and I too find them emotional. I have co-taught only one class so far, with four students, and each one 'felt' different. I have recently been dreaming about teaching another class, perhaps my guides giving me a little hint?

Hi Zizzr

Outside attunements - bliss and magic - especially today with the weather so beautiful and in Spain - and the date today - and the date of my own attunement in Spain - good friday - 13th !!!!!!!!!

Good luck with the classes. My husband sees himself doing more of that kind of work but I feel I'll probably do one to one's, possibly connecting with people as I move about. Having said that I don't know when I'll be doing this moving about :-}}} !!

I also feel drawn to attuning people if they feel the need because of illness etc.

I'm just going with the flow at the moment. As I said Paula booked me months ago and she's moving quite far away in the next month or so. This gives a little bit of time to work together. We are so very close even although I've only known her 2 and half years in this life - I think we're a bit like romeo and juliet in some ways - star crossed lovers - or something like that. This made today even more extra special for us both.

Lots of love

Eleanor

Dear Eleanor,

How wonderful for you...it sounded like a fairy tale...castles & gardens & Romeo & Juliet.... Congratulations!!
I have chosen to wait before going on to the teaching internship as well wanting to give myself time to experience this level. So it was very moving to read your story...and as in all good fairt tales, all was well in the end!!!

Namaste,
holobon

Hello, Eleanor,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. It made my heart soar. I, too, have waited for the teacher level for awhile. I was wondering when I would be guided to pursue this. Recently, a very dear friend asked me if I would attune him. I am a bit nervous, but moreso excited, and I think it is getting closer to the time to take the leap. Your story is making me look forward with joy to passing attunements.
Peace and Joy,
Feather

Hi Eleanor,

What a beautiful way to begin teaching. Many blessing to you for the work you did on yourself and now to the pepole you help.

My 1st attunement where my 2 sons Ian who was 9 at the time and Matthew who was 14. My daughter who was 19 told me I was a hippy and to go away. Funny how she would ask to give reiki to her animals though.

Anyway you have brought light into the world so now it is a little less dark.

love and peace
