The 21 Day Cleansing Cycle

When anyone receive a Reiki attunement, or Reiki
session they are told about the possibility of a
21 day cleansing cycle. This is a period of change
and detoxification and integration of the energies
or transformations. This process is not exclusive to
Reiki but may occur during any major shift of life or
spiritual practices. Even as part of the normal reaction
to events in your daily life, Such as adjusting to a new job.


Many different spiritual traditions as well as some
psychologists teach that it usually takes about
2 weeks to 30 days to make any real lasting change in
behavior. Many attunements from other systems also have
a similar cycle of days while an energy or transformation
integrates completely. The theory is that during the 21 day
period the work of integrating the energy shift cycles through
each of the chakras three times . The first cycle of seven days
is said to be focused on personal issues and physical and emotional development. The second week focuses more on relationships and
community issues and mental integration. The last week is focused
on divine or spiritual transformation and adjustment.


The cycle affects the body. When the session or attunement
ends this cycle begins. Some of the changes and insights learned
along the way may take longer to fully manifest, or integrate but
the first 21 days is considered a very important part in this
process.


Symptoms attributed to detoxification can include excess
Gas , colds and emotional mood swings however normally these
are not severe. This chart below is from an old metaphysical
book. I actually think that the concept of the twenty-one day
period does come from non Japanese sources. The Japanese concept
would probably simply be that obstacles and karma come up when
you make positive changes .


The 21 Day Cleansing, Detoxification or Transformation Cycle
1. Root Chakra , Support & Physical Body. Primal Power days 8 & 15
2. Sacral Chakra, Sex, Creativity, Intimacy, Ego, also days 9&16
3. Solar Plexus Chakra Emotions (gut feelings).
Feelings for other people gland pancreas also days 10 & 17
4. Heart & Thymus Chakra self. Love in general. Compassion.
Communication gland thymus also days 11& 18
5. Throat Chakra Expression, Responsibility. Gland thyroid
Also days 12 & 19
6. Brow, Third Eye Chakra Ideas, vision, the mind. Purpose.
Gland pituitary also days 13 & 20
7. Crown Chakra Color Integration, Higher Mind Direction.
gland Pineal Also days 14& 21


Each week has a full cycle through the chakras one day
focusing on each. Though the work is not limited to only one
chakra a day the primary focus will be on one. Reiki will bring
up and help to clear issues that prevent wellness or standing in
the way of the person's spiritual and personal evolution.


This cycle happens whether you are receiving or giving a
Reiki treatment or healing. In fact, it happens every time you
make a change of any kind. The only difference is the focus.
This cycle also applies to a cycle of integration of energies
from the seven rays of creation but this is far too complex
and esoteric for this article.
