Why do level 1 Reiki students have to perform self-healing sessions for 21 days?
The first Reiki attunements induce a powerful energetic shift in a person. This shift is better assimilated by the student’s body when it is followed by small daily changes achieved through self-treatments. The cleansing effect of these self-healing sessions is cumulative, and this is the reason why one has to perform them in a minimum of 21 consecutive days. If this process is interrupted for any reason, it should be started all over again. Historically, this process mirrors Mikao Usui’s 21-day meditation period on the Kurama Mountain.
