I often get asked about the significance of the 21-day cleansing period after Reiki attunement. Let me share my perspective from years of teaching and practicing Reiki. 🙏
First, let's address the elephant in the room: Is the 21-day period really a "thing"? Well, yes and no. While cleansing and development certainly occur after attunement, the idea that it takes exactly 21 days is, frankly, rather arbitrary.
Here's why:
Each person comes to Reiki with their own unique emotional, physical, and mental landscape. We all carry different experiences, blocks, and levels of spiritual development. Some students arrive at Reiki having practiced yoga, qigong, or meditation for years. Others might be taking their first steps on their spiritual journey. 🌱
Think about it - how could one timeframe possibly fit everyone's unique journey? 🤔
This "21-day rule" might have made more sense thirty years ago when Reiki was often people's sole spiritual practice. But in today's world, where many of us engage with multiple healing modalities, the experience can be quite different.
What Really Matters: 💫
Instead of focusing on a predetermined timeframe, I encourage you to:
- Make Reiki a consistent daily practice 🌅
- Listen to your intuition 💭
- Pay attention to your body's signals 💫
- Trust your own journey ✨
Your intuition is your best guide - far better than any external, one-size-fits-all rule. The real magic happens when you develop a regular practice and allow your unique process to unfold naturally. 🦋

Remember: You are unique and healing and spiritual growth happen on their own timeline. Trust the process, stay consistent with your practice, and let your intuition be your guide. 🙏
