With the exception of the Energy Anatomy
Diploma, all Mayastar courses are
'attunement based'. This article explains
what an attunement is, how it works, and
how you know an attunement is a 'safe' way
to pass on energy to others.
All attunement courses confer the ability to
pass attunement on to others and you will
receive certification confirming your ability to
do this after your attunement.
What is an attunement?
An attunement is an energy
empowerment/initiation (sometimes called an
'energy lesson') that is passed from someone
who has already been attuned to that energy
frequency to another person so that they may
'learn' that vibration, connect with it and
channel it in future by aligning with it through
various methods including mantra, symbols
and intention.
Depending on the system that the
attunement is for, the attunement may simply
be to initiate a subtle change to the vibration
of the energy field of the recipient in order
that they resonate more strongly with that
energy in the future and as detailed above,
act as a conduit for it in future. When we are
connected to these various vibrations, we can
use them for healing work, during meditation
and for spiritual development depending on
the modality and the means of accessing and
using the energy.
Other attunements involve symbols being
imprinted into the energy field of the recipient
– but the effect is similar – a symbol
resonates at a particular frequency and allows
for a particular facet of Universal Energy to
be tapped into by the attunee.
Those attunements that involve the
imprinting of symbols in the energy field open
those new frequencies to the attunee – but
they are not fully activated until the attunee
works with those symbols. For example, a
number of symbols are imprinted into the
energy field during a Traditional Usui Reiki
Level I attunement – however, they are not
fully activated until the attunee begins to
work with those symbols consciously in levels
II and III.
During an attunement, the facilitator/Master
acts as a conductor to channel the relevant
energy to the recipient. The spiritual guides
and higher self of the recipient are requested
to oversee the process and all attunements
are sent in the spirit of Universal Love; that
is, in accordance with the universal law of
free-will and for the good of all.
Empowerment conferred during an
attunement in this spirit cannot be abused or
used to cause harm. Nor can it be 'forced' in
advertently which could cause problems with
assimilation and grounding were too much
energy 'pushed' to a student. The higher self
acts as a moderator in this capacity.
An attunement to a particular system lasts a
lifetime; there is no need to be re-attuned on
a regular basis. However, your connection to
the energy can falter and diminish if you do
not work with those frequencies you are
attuned to on a regular basis. In this
instance, re-attunement can give you a 'kick
start', but just beginning to work with those
energies again will soon strengthen the flow
and your natural resonance.
How does a distant attunement work?
The short answer is: exactly the same way an
in-person attunement works!
Distant attunements are not part of Usui's,
Hayashi's or Takata's teaching but are a
successful and powerful means of sending
attunements. In Reiki (for example) distant
attunements are a non-traditional technique
but are a logical extension of distance healing
and application of the Distance symbol.
Some people are quite sceptical about the
process and I think if I hadn't experienced the
sending and receiving of attunements and
healing distantly I would be very sceptical
myself! In fact, my experience has been that
there is no difference in the energy at all - if
anything, the experience of the recipient
receiving distance healing/attunement tends
to be more intense. I put this down to the
fact that they are probably more relaxed in
their home environment and not having to
meet with a relative stranger for what is an
intensely personal experience and better if
you are able to relax.
My own experience of in-person attunement
was similar to that of many; meeting a
stranger for the first time who provides you
with some photocopied diagrams, tells you a
bit about Reiki and then gives you an
attunement. It is a strange experience and
not very relaxing. Some people receive in-
person attunements in a group setting at
seminars – I imagine this is even less
relaxing!
'In-person' attunements just don't suit some
people; most people are more able to relax
and meditate at home and on their own than
they are in a room full of people or in front of
another person. Some people are restricted in
travel or by commitments to family, work and
so on. Another consideration is the price!
Most of those who offer in-person
attunements charge £100+ (sometimes up to
£400 or more for the Reiki Master level). All
in all, there is a lot to be said for distance
attunements – and with Mayastar you are
assured of receiving detailed and
comprehensive materials to support your
chosen course as well as support for as long
as you need it. I am only ever an email away!
:-)
Metaphysically speaking, the reason distance
energy healing/attunement is possible is
because of the nature of the energy used.
The energy employed in modalities such as
Ama Deus, Reiki and Violet Flame is
Universal. It is the Universal Life Force
Energy (which may also be called 'God',
'Divine Light' or 'Universal Love' depending on
your belief system) and it is eternal and
infinite; it cannot be depleted, it underlies all
of creation and is not subject to the rules of
time and space as lower vibrational energy
frequencies (such as visible light) are. When
it comes to working with these wonderful
energies, there are no limits! It's even
possible to send healing back in time to work
to heal areas that have left a Karmic
imbalance in the present!
Another excellent possibility with distance
attunements is for them to be prepared using
a programmed 'orb of life' or 'chi ball' that the
recipient can call in at their convenience! With
Mayastar's courses internationally accredited,
I am able to teach students all over the
world, and to be able to set up an attunement
in advance using this method, that they may
call in at their convenience means there are
no problems when it comes to time zone
differences either!
This method assures flexibility on both sides
and allows me to maintain accessible prices
for my courses too.
Using this method, an Orb of energy is
created by me; it is then 'attuned'. By this I
mean I channel the energy of the attunement
and perform the attunement as if using the
Orb as a proxy. The Orb can be programmed
with all of the details it needs to ensure it
remains in a situation where the energy is
maintained and doesn't become depleted over
time if the attunement is called in later.
The attunement energy is preserved until the
time the student (following the instructions
provided in the Book of Inspiration Part I)
calls in the attunement; this activates the
attunement but the process is overseen by
the higher self to ensure the energy unfolds
at the appropriate rate for the individual.
Once an attunement is ready, you will be
emailed with confirmation that you can call
the attunement in and also with your
certificate. Your certificate with have details
of your 'lineage': A tradition with energy
healing modalities dating back to Dr. Usui is
that a record of the teachers who have
passed down the line from the originator of
the modality are detailed for you.
One of the most important things with
attunements is that to fully receive the new
vibration on all levels it has to be grounded.
Information on how to do this is of course
supplied and it's a simple process. But it is
also important to work with the energy after
attunement. With some systems
attunements are more akin to empowerments
to a particular angel or animal...to 'use' these
kind of energies I recommend you spend time
in meditation after the attunement, sensing
the energy and making sure you allow
yourself to fully accept and assimilate the
new vibrations.
The assimilation part of receiving
attunements varies with different modalities -
some have more complex or intense
attunements than others and may take
several days to full 'ground' them. But
regularly using the energy and grounding
yourself afterwards ensures this takes place
and you will get the most out of your
attunement experience.
Another concern people have is that they may
not experience much during an
attunement...it is true that the vast majority
do...but there are many reasons that can
prevent you tuning into subtle energies. First
of all, being a beginner may mean you find it
harder to suspend your focus and are
concentrating on 'looking for a result'; this
engagement of the conscious mind often
means the process seems very subtle! Some
people fall asleep - this is not unusual and
nothing at all to worry about; sometimes it is
a natural way for the body to fully receive the
attunement and the sleep is often very
healing. It is usually markedly different from
normal sleep in that it is dreamless, short and
you wake up feeling like you've had a good 8
hours!
Some people may experience less intense
attunements if they are physically tired or run
down; at certain times of the menstrual
cycle; if they are under any stress; after a
heavy meal; if they have consumed sugar,
alcohol, meat or caffeine...but with all these
things, they affect people differently and
some people find they can tolerate caffeine
but others can't...and often as you progress
in energy work and your natural subtle
senses increase you will find you may be
more sensitive to the effects of these things
and decide to change them. I certainly did
myself and it wasn't a change I expected to
make and it wasn't a difficult choice or
anything like that either - it was a natural
progression that I seemed to naturally move
towards more healthy habits over a period of
time.
So the main thing is, don't expect anything of
the attunement...common experiences are
feelings of warmth or tingling; pressure
around the crown area; seeing colours and
sometimes even hearing strange resonant
tones. But what you experience not only
depends on your situation generally, but your
state at that very particular time and also,
what natural abilities you may have. When it
comes to intuition, some people feel physical
sensations of energy; others hear them;
others see them as colours; some just sense
them. Whatever your natural strength
intuitively it usually follows the sense that is
prevalent physically - are you a sensual
person and liable to feel the sensations of
energy physically...or a visual person who
learns best and responds to physical
stimulus? These may give you clues as to the
areas you will be strongest in. Be open to
these things...but don't become preoccupied
with them! If you continue with energy work
over time you will naturally develop these
skills through regular practice. The Energy
Anatomy Diploma course is also very helpful
in learning this through meditative work and
learning to scan auras - an invaluable
technique. And knowing how the energy
body all fits together and works can often
help you make sense of sensations and the
associations they may imply too. So if you
would like to accelerate your development in
this sense the Energy Anatomy Diploma
would be very helpful to you.
I hope this article has helped you understand
more of attunements and how they work...as
well as what to expect from your Mayastar
course! X
