- This is another attunement method I learned from Rialian.
- It was originally conceived as a preparation for ritual. It has since become a popular attunement method for otherkin reiki workshops.
- It gets the mind into the state of really running the energies.
- If you do not have a partner you can trade trash-punches with, you can instead perform a meditation of doing a trash-punch on yourself, and then go into your ritual work.
- It is also useful for self-clearing if one is having problems with sendings.
- The name “trash-punch” refers to how the Reiki master giving the attunement feels after it is done, as a result of having so much energy channeled through them in one go.
- Beyond a certain point, it may be desirable to break the symbols one knows up into symbol sets, rather than trying to give a single trash-punch attunement containing them all.
- Alternately, one or more slightly-altered version of the Imara attunement method may prove better methods for transmitting larger numbers of symbols than is practical to do in the ritualized format of the trash-punch attunement.
How to Perform the Attunement
- Draw all symbols into the air.
- Have the person sit with hands in the receptive mudra at the heart chakra.
- Draw the Fire Serpent down the back and pull down.
- Draw three Cho-Ku-Reis at the base of the spine.
- Draw a reversed fire serpent back to the crown.
- Cup hands over crown chakra and take a Violet Breath, blowing the Dai Ko Myo into the crown chakra and moving it with your hands to the base of the head.
- Hold the Huan Yin point throughout the rest of the attunement.
- Draw the Dai Koo Myo over the crown and move it to the base of the head.
- Repeat with every symbol you wish to use.
- Move to the front of the person and take their hands, opening them and holding them in your non-dominant hand.
- Draw all the symbols you wish to use over the opened palms, tapping each symbol into the palm three times after you draw it.
- Close the palms into the prayer position and move them to the forehead (third eye chakra).
- Draw all the symbols you wish to use over the fingertips of the person and tap gently three times for each symbol.
- Return the person’s hands to the receptive mudra and place back into the original position at the heart chakra.
- Draw all the symbols you wish to use over the crown chakra, gently tapping the aura three times for each symbol.
- Take a Violet Breath and blow from the palms down to the feet, up to the crown, and back to the palms.
- Move back to the rear of the person.
- Take a Violet Breath and place hands on shoulders.
- Press down gently while blowing the violet breath into the crown chakra with an affirmation.
- While pressing down, visualize the affirmation sinking down into the heart chakra.
- Place one hand on either side of the person’s neck with your thumbs together at the back of the neck.
- Mentally draw a Cho-Ku-Rei over your thumbs with the intent that the attunement be sealed.
- Place your hands on the shoulders of the person and press down gently with the intent that the Reiki be firmly set within the person.
- Move to the front of the person and release the Huan Yin point with your breath, waving the energy forward gently as a blessing.
