What are the steps for receiving an attunement successfully?
Whenever someone learns an energy based healing course through the Love Inspiration ebooks, receiving an attunement is a super important part of the overall learning experience. And whilst the instructions for each attunement are always described in the ebook that you will be learning from, we wanted to give you a more general overview about what a successful attunement process might look like overall.
The steps that are shown below will therefore be offering you a step by step guide to receiving an attunement and can be helpful for those who are interested to learn about how to receive an attunement successfully and for those who may feel some doubt about whether their attunement was received successfully.
In simple terms, if you have followed along with the steps outlined below, your attunement will have been successful. Of course, the below information should always be read and interpreted in alignment with your divine intuition & divine guidance. We hope that this information can help you on your journey and may every single attunement you receive help to bring you a beautiful new feeling of love, light & unity.
Download the Ebook: All of the Love Inspiration courses are offered online, freely and with love, through the format of ebooks. Therefore the first step in receiving an attunement successfully, is to download the applicable ebook.
Check the Prerequisites: The second step is to ensure that you have completed the necessary prerequisites for the course. The prerequisites for each ebook are found right in the beginning of each ebook, usually on Page II. By prescribing the prerequisites for each ebook, Higher Consciousness wishes to ensure that each recipient will be ready to receive the energies of that course by making sure that they have reached a necessary level of energetic vibration. In other words, the prerequisites help to ensure that you are ready to receive the energies of the ebook and because of this, the prerequisites will also help to ensure that you get the most out of the energies received in the course as well. If a person chooses to enter a course without doing the prerequisites, it is likely that they will not be 'energetically ready’ to receive the energies of that ebook. In this scenario, the energies / attunements will either not activate within them or will only partially activate, meaning that this person will miss out on the maximum energetic benefit that is being offered to them through the course. In this way, the divinely designed prerequisites help to lovingly guide each recipient through the Love Inspiration courses so that they (and all beings) can benefit in the highest possible way. We therefore lovingly recommend that each person completes the required prerequisites before commencing a course/ebook.
* Note that it is common amongst Reiki Teachers to request that their students follow specific instructions in the days leading up to an attunement, for example refraining from cigarettes, alcohol, meat etc. And/or not eating or speaking before the attunement. If this is something that resonates with you, then you are most welcome to undertake these before your attunement. Always trust your intuition! Please know however that all of the Love Inspiration teachings (with the exception of Usui Reiki Levels 1, 2 & 3 + Kundalini Reiki Levels 1, 2 & 3) have been channeled and received directly from Higher Consciousness. During each step of the way, Higher Consciousness has given very specific and very unique information / processes about receiving each attunement and yes, in some cases they will also suggest some kind of fasting or giving up alcohol / meat, where the energies of that level require it. Therefore you can trust that if you need to do any of these actions, that they will be written in the attunement steps within the ebooks. (Note however that if an attunement process suggests refraining from meat or fasting for example, and you are unable to do this, then that is absolutely ok. Please always listen to your body, your heart and trust your intuition).
Schedule the Attunement: Make a date and time that you are going to receive the attunement and ensure that you have completed any necessary resting periods or practices from the previous attunement or level. This is very important to ensure that you are energetically and vibrationally ready to receive the next layer of energies.
Allocate Yourself the Required Time & Sacred Space To Receive The Attunement: The attunement is a divinely sacred experience and as such, it is best to be well prepared in advance. It is important to plan to have plenty of time available, (for example not right before you have to run out the door) as sometimes the attunement can take longer than expected, or sometimes you may simply want to sit in the energies of the attunement for longer than expected. It is also beneficial for your relaxation state to not be anxiously thinking about the time - or that you have to hurry in order to pick the kids up from school! So give yourself plenty of time so that you can be fully relaxed, ready and open to receive the energies.
Additionally, you may wish to allocate some time immediately before the attunement to unwind and mentally prepare. This could include going for a walk, doing some yoga, re-reading the instructions for the attunement and/or simply sitting in quiet meditation for some time. When you are relaxed, centred and peaceful, the energies will flow more easily. This is also a good time to think about your intention for the attunement & upcoming energies. Also important is to ensure that you are in a space where you will not be disturbed for the entire duration of the attunement. You may wish to create ambience for your attunement by lighting a candle or incense, dimming the lights, or finding a beautiful tree to sit under in the forest. Make the space as peaceful and relaxing as possible!
Receive the Attunement: The attunement process is a very sacred and divinely enriching experience and essentially, what is happening here is that you are receiving a beautiful array of Higher Consciousness energies into your consciousness in a way that is both relaxing, peaceful and uplifting. These attuning energies will be helping you to heal & transform and in most cases, the attunement ensures that you will be able to connect with the beautiful Higher Consciousness energies through the self healing practices. The attunement process is essentially like a key unlocking a door, through which many new energies can flow. Therefore it is helpful to be relaxed and open in order for the attunement to take place. Some attunements offer specific affirmations to say, however in general, focusing on opening, surrendering and receiving for the benefit of all will be of help. Some affirmations that may help are:
“I open myself up to love and light.” “I open up to receive.” “I open up to universal love.” “I open up to receive the XXX attunement.” “I open up to divine love & light.” Or you may simply simply repeat your intention over and over.
Overall, during your attunement, remember to follow your intuition at all times. If you feel that you need to pause inbetween steps to sit quietly for a few minutes, or to light a candle, or to lie down, or if you get the feeling that now is not quite the right time to receive the attunement, then listen and follow your heart. The instructions provided are a base guideline for receiving the energies, however as everyone is unique, so too is the attunement process and so if you feel something, then trust your intuition! Should you fall asleep during your attunement, please see the separate FAQ - 'What should I do if I fall asleep during my attunement?’. This is extremely common and is not a problem at all.
Another common experience some people worry about when receiving an attunement is that they didn’t feel like they weren’t really ‘in the moment’ because their mind may have been overly occupied with something during the attunement process and they felt like they weren’t very ‘present' during an attunement. Let us just say here that even if your mind was not overly present during an attunement, the process will still work correctly. Again, if you have followed along with the instructions in the steps above and in the ebook, you will always receive these attuning energies from Higher Consciousness will much love, light & divine grace.
For further information on the Attunement Process, please feel free to visit the FAQ section on “The Attunement Process” which has specific questions about the attunement process and what to expect.
Take Time After the Attunement to Assimilate the Energies: After receiving your attunement, you may like to take some time to just sit quietly, give thanks for what you have received, or go for a gentle walk, or light a candle or some incense. Or other times, it may feel perfectly ok to simply end the attunement and go on about your day. Often the energies will still be moving within you after the attunement, so remember to be gentle and loving to yourself.

Overall, the above steps provide a general outline to successfully receiving your attunement and if you follow these steps and the ones specifically explained in each attunement process in each ebook, your attunement will be successful!
Remember that once you have set your intention to receive an attunement, Higher Consciousness will respond to this intention and will fill you up with the attuning energies, lovingly and for your highest possible good (and for the highest possible good of all beings). And this is one of the main reasons that we normally tell people that their attunement will always be successful if they simply follow along with the instructions in the ebook.
Lovingly, Higher Consciousness is doing all the 'heavy lifting' during the attunement and they will always respond to the attunement instructions described in each of the Love Inspiration ebooks. Of course, the recipient can always help or assist in this attunement process by being as open as possible to receiving what is being offered, with love & gratitude. This often helps us to feel more during the process but again, even if we are not present or consciously opening ourselves to the attuning energies, the attunement itself will still be successful.
Also helpful to remember is that each attunement process is a little different, depending on the types of energies being received and as such, each person will normally feel their attunements in different ways. Overall, it is fair to say that if you continue to move forwards on your Love Inspiration journey, you will very likely have a great many different attunement experiences when you open up to receiving many different attunements.
Having said this, it is also entirely possible and indeed very normal to feel nothing at all from an attunement. For Marty & Gerry, they have received lots of attunements where they felt nothing at all and then in the next few days, they would experience an intense amount of healing (as the new attuning energies were being assimilated & digested within). With this example then, we just want to highlight that if you feel nothing at all from your attunement, it is totally ok and your attunement has still been successful, provided that you followed along with the instructions in the steps above and the steps in the specific attunement process in the ebook. *****
We hope this information helps you to feel more confident in the attunement processes offered by Love Inspiration. If you are ever in any doubt about whether your attunement has been successful, we lovingly suggest that you remind yourself about the beautiful concept of divine guidance and/or contemplate on the profound/divine abilities of Higher Consciousness. We also lovingly suggest that you try your best to trust in the overall process and just know that you are receiving a divinely precious gift from Higher Consciousness, through these attunements, which will be helping you to move forwards into more love, light & unity in your life.
