I got attunement

My unsatiable desire to learn something new all the time (the bane of my life), took me to my first Reiki session. Wow! What an experienceeven though I ventured forth with my usual armour of skepticism. The Reiki Master is a professor in my department. (Actually the emphasis should be the other way around!) After a brief introduction to the history of Reiki, its effects, code of ethics (healing without touching) etc, he offered to "attune" us. There were four of us and he would perform a parallel attunement. We were asked to close our eyes and relax. I was prepared to spend a boring twenty minutes, not expecting anything to happen. I started wondering about dinner and cooked up some delicious recipes. However suddenly, I was confused about where I was. My eyes were closed and yet I saw stunning colors. Hues of violet, electric blue, indigo kept flooding my vision. If it is possible to blink with your eyes closed, I sure did! I tried rolling my eyes (all the while closed) trying to check if these colors were just imagined or caused by some distortion in the lighting. And yet they persisted, especially the brilliant blue (which is related to the chakra at the throat). It was a fantastic experience and I felt so rejuvenated at the end of that session. All this is done just by transmitting energy using your hands (without any physical contact) into the chakras or other focal points which need attention. Congrats me! I am supposed to be certified at Level I Reiki. Now I can pass energy using my hands and practice Reiki on myself and some unfortunate others.
