What physical or energetic experience might a student have during or after receiving a Reiki attunement?

Answer: Sensations of heat, tingling, emotional release, or deep relaxation are common

Students may experience warmth, tingling, colors, emotional release, deep peace, or other sensations during an attunement, as the energy system opens and realigns.

How long does a Reiki attunement ceremony typically last?

Answer: 5–10 minutes for the ritual itself

The actual attunement ritual typically takes only 5–10 minutes per student, though the surrounding class context may be much longer.
