Distant Attunements
The topic of Distant attunements is one that often brings heated debate. In the
Distant Attunement, the process is done using the Reiki Distant Symbol and the
attunement is sent to the recipient distantly.
Within the Reiki System, there is a Symbol used for sending Reiki Healing Distantly

for those not physically present. It is routinely taught in Level II Reiki Classes (see
Reiki Level II Manual for more details). It is my opinion that distant attunements are a
logical extension of the distant symbol and the system of reiki in general.
Those who are advocates for distant attunements, having tried and tested the
procedure on many occasions believe it is a logical extension of using the Distant
symbol. They also believe that the attunements are as appropriate and powerful and
confer the status of a Reiki Practitioner/Master as well as having them done in
person. I have personally received many Reiki Distant Healings, and Reiki Distant
Attunements and found the attunements to be a wonderful experience. They are
energetically just like being done hands on in person.
Distant Attunements allow those who do not have access to a Reiki Master to receive
Reiki. People like Joseph Running Wolf Sparti (founder of the Global Reiki Masters
Association), Terri Ramacus (the about.com altmedicine guide) and Peggy Jentoft,
were pioneers of using the Distant Attunement Procedure. Joseph Sparti, founder of
the GRMA was also the Developer of the Singular Attunement Procedure and offers
free Distant Attunements several time per year. More information is available through
his site at Reiki.Net Terri Ramacus also offers free distant attunements to level I reiki
through the About.com altmedicine site.
There are those that do not believe in Distant Attunements. Some believe that since
Mrs. Takata did not teach them they are not part of the Usui System therefore, they
argue that they are not traditional practice and therefore are a different "system" and
not Reiki.
Some, like William Rand, (see his article on Reiki Distant Attunement at his site at
www.reiki.org ) feel that distant attunements might work, but his clairvoyants feel

that distant attunements do not contain all the "frequencies" of energy that the regular
attunements contains. (Although how they could determine this I cannot imagine,
especially there is no known or reliable method of determining the strngth or
completeness of anyone's reiki. Perhaps they invented a Reiki-Om-Meter to measure
the energy?) Clairvoyants that I know tell me that they have watched both Distant and
Hands-On attunements and they see the same thing occuring in both. So is this a
case of my clairvoyants are better than yours?!! Or perhaps we might take into
account that clairvayancy has never been the most reliable of practices. If we
through intent do an attunement hands on or distant, then we should trust that the
creator, the source of Reiki will ensure that everything is exactlty as it is supposed to
be! Many people in the Usui/Tibetan schools of reiki are taught that the "reiki guides"
do the attunements (this is not a belief held by the majority of reiki practitioners). If
your teachings/beliefs are that the "reiki guides" do the attunements, is it not an
inconsistent belief to think that since they do them that they can certainly do them
distantly?
Fundamentally it has to come down to a question of evidence, proof and faith. Where
is the evidence to back up claims such as these? That is the problem with making
such claims when they are unprovable. I can make claims. For example, i could claim
that the space aliens started reiki millenia ago, buy shooting humans with their Reiki
Ray Guns which focused cosmic energy on them. In reality when you doodle when
talking on the phone you are subconsciously linked to the space guys and they are
giving you new symbols! And i can say that i know cause i channeled them while on
the phone and they told me. Barring objective evidence, this has exactly the same
validity as anyone's claims regarding distant attunements. This is more about faith
and belief than anything else.

However, having said that, we must evaluate what evidence we do have. Countless
thousands of reiki practitioners and masters have been attuned distantly. In the final
analysis - barring any way to objectively measure the energy or process - we must
examine whether or not they can do reiki. From what i can tell, and alot of people with
much much more experience than I, The answer to that is yes, they can.
But isn't that exactly as it should be. In the final analysis the fundamental question
has to be, "when a reiki attunement is done, who is it that is actually doing it? You the
master, or Reiki the energy?" It is an important question because the answer to this
question of distant attunements will be found in the answer to this question. We are
channels of Reiki, not its masters. Reiki does the healing, so, it would be appropriate
to state that therefore Reiki MUST be doing the attunement. That also explains why it
doesn't matter what kind of attunement process is done and that they all seem to
work. The intent of the Master and Intent to receive of the student seem to be
sufficient. Assuming that to be true, how could a distant attunement work any less
than one done in person when we are just providing the Intent and the energy does
the actual action?
I Personally think that it is logically inconsistent to believe that you can send distant
Reiki healing, but not distant reiki attunements. My experience tells me that distant
reiki seems to work as well as hands on. Some of the best and most powerful
attunements i have received were distant.
Not believing in the possibility of Distant Attunements sets limits on the source. If reiki
is from the one Source / God / Goddess / Creator / (fill in the blank) then you are
setting limits on that source by saying distant attunements are not possible, or
inferior. If energy (reiki) is available, it is available from the source to all on an equal

basis, and I suspect with surprisingly fewer limitations than we currently place on it.
Lastly, no one attuned Usui. Mr. Rand in his article on his website regarding distant
attunements believes that it is not that same and "something seems to be missing".
He also states that there are some parts of an attunement that can only be
transmitted by being with the "physical presence" of the student. That is an
interesting theory, however there is one thing that would seem to belie that
assertion. That one thing would be Usui's own experience. Usui Sensei's story is
that no one attuned him. "What" you exclaim? No "physical presence"!!!! how could
that be possible?" It is said that Usui experienced a Satori, a moment of oneness, on
the mountain. In that oneness, he experienced the energy in a mysterious way. He
was attuned. If Usui Sensei, self attuned, then it was the energy that did it and there
was no physical presence involved at all. If Usui sensei could trust the energy to
have attuned him, can we do any less??
