21 Day Reiki Cleanse
So you’ve just taken your first Reiki class, and you want to know what to expect beyond your experience in class! During your Reiki class experience, much of your being is shifted, and opened up to be able to receive and transmit the Reiki healing energy.
The 21 day cleanse experience will follow each placement or ignition of Reiki energy (formerly referred to as attunements) and is the result of the placement/ignition removing energetic and spiritual blocks, as well as stagnant energy from the chakras. Your placement/ignition process also has opened up your chakras in order for you to be more receptive and “tuned in” to the energies around you.
The 21 days after class, you may have a lot come up that is ready to be released. Old emotions, belief systems, and old experiences that have kept you stuck.
The following symptoms during your 21 day cleansing period are completely normal:
1- Fatigue and Tiredness
2- Emotional release (both bouts of laughter, crying and anger are ok)
3- A shift in your sleep patterns, or restless sleep
4- Heightened senses and increased sensitivity
5- Vivid dreams
If you experience any of the above, you are not alone, and it is all completely normal. This is just your body acclimating to all of the new energies that you are opening up to. Let the process happen naturally, and without judgement if possible. There are a few things that can alleviate any extreme symptoms:
1- Perform a daily reiki self treatment
2- Check in with your Reiki buddy or your Reiki teacher
3- Prioritize deep practices of self care - epsom salt baths, extra rest or naps
4- Make sure you are drinking plenty of water
5- Spend time outside in nature
6- Gentle movement of your body (dance, yoga, walks outside)
Please avoid for the next 21 days:
1- drugs and alcohol
2- high sugar foods
3- excessive caffeine or stimulants
Toward the end of the 21 days, your symptoms should diminish. Prioritizing daily self Reiki treatments can help any discomfort, and also to help keep you grounded.
