How to Know Whether You Need a Reiki Attunement or a Healing Session
Quick answer: Which one do I need?
Choose a Reiki attunement if you feel called to learn, practice or work with Reiki yourself. Choose a healing session if you want to receive support, be guided, or rest in a held spiritual space.
When you are drawn to Reiki or spiritual healing, it can be hard to know what kind of support fits your current season. You may feel curious about learning a practice, or you may simply want to receive care and feel supported.
A Reiki attunement and a healing session can both be beautiful choices. The difference is your role. In an attunement, you are being initiated into a practice. In a session, you are receiving support.

Start with your intention
Ask yourself: Do I want to learn, or do I want to receive? Do I feel called to practice with this energy over time, or do I want a practitioner to hold space for me right now?
Your answer will usually point you in the right direction.
You may want an attunement if...
- You feel curious about practicing Reiki.
- You want a deeper relationship with a specific spiritual energy.
- You enjoy ritual, learning and self-practice.
- You want tools you can return to over time.
You may want a healing session if...
- You want to receive rather than learn.
- You are feeling tender, tired or unsure.
- You want personalized guidance.
- You want someone else to hold the container.
You may want self-paced support if...
Self-paced healing transmissions can be a good bridge if you want to receive at home, revisit the practice and move at your own pace.
