I’ve recently completed my Reiki Level 3 attunement, the point where Reiki begins to feel less like something you practise and more like something you inhabit. It felt like a subtle but definite shift - from learning and applying, to simply being present.
We sat together in a circle while our teacher, Michael Kaufman, moved quietly from person to person, offering the attunement individually, I was second to last. As he worked with the others, images drifted through my mind’s eye. I saw white pearls dropping into a deep red velvet purse, followed by a five-pointed yellow star against a dark sky, smaller stars turning slowly behind it. There were flashes of red gems and intricate, fractal-like forms, all held by a single vertical current of energy running through the centre. The overall impression felt textured, luminous and opulent.
When it was my turn, the atmosphere changed. Everything became darker and more spacious. I became aware of the eye of an ancient reptile opening and closing in the darkness. At one point Michael asked me to hold my hands open in front of me, as though they were a book. As I did, they seemed to extend far beyond my physical body, reaching into a sense of infinity.
My first two attunements felt gritty and expansive, almost cosmic in their intensity. This one was different - deeper, more inward, and rather more refined. Less about reaching outward, and more about settling fully into what is already there.
