AMA: Three Reiki Masters, 60+ Attunements, and Some Very Unusual Reiki Adventures

Hi everyone!

Three of us are getting together to answer your questions about Reiki, healing, multiple attunements, and some of the unusual things we've created along the way.

I'm Carol Viana, founder and creator of Gratitude Reiki.

Creator of Gratitude Reiki, using symbols and the four Ho'oponopono phrases to anchor unconditional love, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude;
Creator of Mermaid Reiki together with u/Fortune_Box, recently used by the Space Croissant Crew over at r/reikishare;
I teach Reiki on Substack, from beginner through advanced;
Author of The Inner Mediator;
Creator of the Lovecules, which we use when taking people to Pretendland on Mars

u/impertrix, Master Storm, is joining me:

Black Usui Reiki Master, psychic medium, life coach, and spiritual teacher
Reiki modalities include Usui, Tara, Seichim, and Dragon Reiki
New CEO of Gratitude Reiki since
Teaches Reiki and offers treatments via Zoom

And u/Fortune_Box, my best friend and Reiki teacher:

1) 20+ years practicing Reiki;

Has received so many attunements she's lost count;
We created Mermaid Reiki together;
Expert in Reiki and energy work, knows how to create energy systems and grids;
When I created the Lovecules, she created the Happycules
We use both when we take people to Pretendland on Mars
official grounder of the Space Croissant Crew and Pretendland

Together, the 3 of us are here to talk to you about our multiple attunements.

Our Sunday Reiki sessions are free. We simply ask participants to plant a tree for $1 rather than sending us money. We've planted 193 trees this year, after planting 333 last year.

So... ask us anything!

Reiki systems, attunements, creating modalities, teaching Reiki, Reiki healing circles, Tara Reiki, Gratitude Reiki, Mermaid Reiki, Lovecules, Happycules, Pretendland, or what it's like to explore Reiki for decades.
We're here to answer questions, share experiences, and have some fun with it.

Practitioner using Reiki + "channeling" to build emotional bonds with clients that turn sexual — is this a recognized ethical violation in Reiki practice?

Looking for outside perspective from people who know Reiki ethics better than I do.

Someone I know is a massage therapist who also practices Reiki (Level 1 and 2 training, started last year). He's incorporated Reiki into massage sessions with clients, and during sessions tells clients he can "channel" their deceased loved ones — energy work and a psychic reading layered on top of the bodywork.

What concerns me most isn't just that this is happening — it's the pattern of how. The Reiki and the "channeling" seem to function as the on-ramp: it creates an intense, fast emotional bond with clients — she feels deeply seen, connected to someone she's lost, energetically bonded to him — and that bond is what turns into a sexual relationship shortly after.

This isn't one instance; I have reason to believe it's a repeated pattern with clients, including some quite young clients who appear to be in vulnerable emotional states (grief, personal crises) at the exact moment the "channeling" starts.

Setting aside the personal/marital side (he is married, and some of these women are too) and the massage licensing side (separate process, aware of my options there) — my question here is specifically about the Reiki angle: Is using Reiki/energy work combined with claimed psychic channeling to build emotional intimacy with a client — as a pathway into a sexual relationship — a recognized ethical violation in Reiki practice? Or is the "energetic bond" language just normal Reiki culture that gets misread?

Does the Reiki community treat this differently than a garden-variety therapist/client boundary violation, given the "channeling the dead" element specifically?

Would a Reiki master or teacher have any real mechanism to act on this if reported, or is there essentially no accountability once someone's trained?

Trying to figure out if this rises to something the Reiki community would take seriously as an abuse of the practice, or if I'm off base.

Honest input welcome, including if you think this isn't as serious as I think it is.

Reiki sharer is looking for someone to be a reiki receiver, this is so I can practice reiki / and maybe give intuitive messages as well.

👋 hi ! I’m looking for someone who can receive reiki 🏹 and someone who can feel energy. 🌥️ I’m asking this because I’ve been practicing reiki as well 🌱 and wanted to know if “my” channeling got stronger and / or changed.🌸

Edit: no DMs. Please comment below if you’re interested ! 💐 (and my experience) I’ve been practicing on and off of meditation, tarot-reading, yoga for ~6 years. 😊

REIKI SHARE DAY: THIS WEEK’S MEDITATION. HI EVERYONE! 24 hrs of Free Reiki with the SPACE CROISSANT CREW. The theme is MERMAID YOURSELF: CALMING THE INNER SHARKNADO. It starts NOW!

HI EVERYONE!

Last week, we explored Lovecules, Reiki Love Pills, and the Phoenix Rising Apothecary.

This week, we are staying much closer to home.

No Pretend Mars.

No galactic travel.

Just you, your thoughts, your emotions, and an ocean.

Our theme is the Mermaid Sharknado.

The Sharknado represents what it can feel like when thoughts begin circling faster and faster.

Fear.

Self-criticism.

Grief.

“I can’t do this.”

“I’m not good enough.”

“I’m going to feel like this forever.”

Each thought becomes a shark.

The more we fight them, the faster they circle.

So today, instead of fighting the sharks, we are going to meet the Mermaid.

🧜‍♀️🌊🦈

The Mermaid represents the part of you that can pause, observe, soften, and respond with compassion.

She does not destroy the sharks.

She does not run from them.

She calms the ocean.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Imagine an ocean around you.

The water represents your emotional world.

Now imagine any heavy or intrusive thought that has been bothering you becoming a shark.

You may have one shark.

You may have many.

Give each shark a name if you want.

Maybe one is Fear.

Maybe another is Shame.

Grief.

Anger.

Loneliness.

“I hate myself.”

“I’m not enough.”

Whatever appears is okay.

Now imagine the water beginning to swirl.

The sharks circle.

The noise gets louder.

Then…

The Mermaid arrives.

She draws a PAUSE symbol in the water.

⏸️

Everything stops.

The waves freeze.

The sharks become still.

The noise disappears.

The Mermaid can still move.

She swims toward the shark that frightens you the most.

She places one hand gently on its head.

And says:

“I love you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Please forgive me.”

“Thank you.”

The shark is not your enemy.

It is a frightened part of you trying to communicate in the only way it knows how.

Imagine the shark relaxing.

Its teeth soften.

Its body becomes golden light.

One by one, the other sharks begin glowing too.

The entire Sharknado slowly changes from a storm of fear into a spiral of light.

Gold.

Teal.

Blue.

Green.

Whatever colors feel peaceful to you.

Now imagine yourself becoming the Mermaid.

You are no longer trapped inside the storm.

You can move through it.

You can guide the light.

You can speak to the sharks.

You can say:

“I love and accept myself.”

🌊✨🧜‍♀️✨🌊

THE LOVE CIRCLE

Imagine you or your loved one is now in a circle.

You are surrounded by 38 Reiki practitioners sending waves of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and gently wrapping you in it.

Imagine this Reiki flowing into your ocean.

Not forcing the sharks away.

Simply bringing light into the water.

We will use the Violet Flame to gently clear heaviness and emotional tension surrounding your body, its organs, and its systems.

Now imagine the Space Croissant Crew standing safely along the shoreline.

Ground Control is there.

The Mermaid is there.

Your sharks are there.

And you are there.

Nobody needs to fight anybody.

Imagine Reiki moving through the ocean as soft golden light.

The waves slow.

Your breathing slows.

The Mermaid approaches whichever shark needs compassion most.

Together, say:

“I love you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Please forgive me.”

“Thank you.”

Let the shark become light.

Then another.

And another.

You do not have to solve every thought today.

You do not have to force yourself to feel differently.

Sometimes healing begins simply by changing the way we speak to the frightened parts of ourselves.

If a thought says:

“You’re finished.”

You might answer:

“This chapter may be finished. I am still here.”

If a thought says:

“You’re broken.”

You might answer:

“I am changing, and I still deserve love.”

If a thought says:

“You will feel this way forever.”

You might answer:

“This feeling is here now. It does not own my future.”

Let Reiki support whatever response feels right for you.

You remain the Mermaid.

You remain in charge of your ocean.

Simply receive.

We will be here for 24 hrs, supporting anyone who chooses to receive Reiki and inviting in calm, self-compassion, grounding, and emotional balance.

This meditation is an imaginative Reiki exercise and is not a replacement for medical or mental-health care. If panic, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelming emotions are affecting your life, reaching out to a qualified professional can be part of taking good care of yourself too.

Don’t worry.

We will be very gentle.

Hope you all feel well tomorrow and ready to start a new week.

This is Master Storm.

I am an Usui Reiki Master.

I, along with Master Phoenix and the Space Croissant Crew, am responsible for Gratitude Reiki, the website, and our Sunday events here on r/reikishare and r/reiki.

Thank you for allowing us to help all of you every Sunday.

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

OUR TREE PROJECT WILL CONTINUE!

If you’d like to help us ground the session, consider planting a tree.

Google “how to plant a tree for a dollar.”

Share the receipt with us in the comments.

It’s a real tree, and it’s now forever connected to you, helping you breathe through difficult times.

Thank you for your kindness!

So far this year, we have 193 trees planted!

Our goal for 2026 is 500 trees.

When you plant a tree, you create a TREE-SELF, a living reminder you can imagine breathing with for years to come.

Let us know if your tree has a name too!

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

This is it!

Find your Mermaid.

Meet your sharks.

Pause the storm.

And bring love into the water.

🧜‍♀️🌊🦈✨💛

Let us know tomorrow how you feel!

Thank you!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

REIKI SHARE DAY: THIS WEEK’S MEDITATION. HI EVERYONE! 24 hrs of Free Reiki with the SPACE CROISSANT CREW. The theme is REIKI LOVE PILLS, LOVECULES, AND THE LION’S GATE. It starts NOW!

HI EVERYONE!

Last week, Puck met the Atomic Self.

We explored Puck as our smallest Unit of Wonder—stillness and timeless awareness—while Atomic Self represents movement, vibration, resonance, and possibility.

Together, we practiced Ho’oponopono:

“I love you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Please forgive me.”

“Thank you.”

This week, Puck and Atomic Self are coming with us aboard the Space Croissant.

Destination:

PRETEND MARS.

Why?

We have something very important to pick up.

💊✨ LOVECULES ✨💊

Lovecules are imaginary Molecules of Love.

They live inside tiny emoji capsules created at the Mount Olympus Placebo Research Center in Pretendland.

Inside each transparent pill are hearts, stars, hugs, sparkles, rainbows, tiny unicorns, and whatever other symbols of love your imagination wants to put there.

There are no medicines or chemicals inside.

These are imaginary pills designed to carry intention, imagination, self-compassion and, if you choose, Reiki.

Captain Camilla Bok Bok is taking the Space Croissant to Pretend Mars to collect them.

Storm and Phoenix will be waiting when she returns to Earth.

Together, they bring the Lovecules somewhere new:

🔥🪽 THE PHOENIX RISING APOTHECARY 🪽🔥

And everything there is FREE.

Because nobody should have to buy a Lovecule.

HOW DO THE REIKI LOVE PILLS WORK?

The pill begins blank.

You program it yourself.

You may choose an intention for:

💖 Self-love and self-acceptance

🌙 Rest and peaceful sleep

🌿 Comfort while experiencing physical pain

🤲 Support while working through addiction or difficult patterns

Or you can program your pill for whatever you need.

Peace.

Courage.

Creativity.

Forgiveness.

Strength.

Hope.

You decide what your pill carries, whether you want Reiki included, and whether you want to receive it at all.

You are in charge of your own healing experience.

If you would like your imaginary pill infused with Reiki, simply say:

“I accept.”

🦁✨ THE LION’S GATE ✨🦁

This week, we are also working with the spiritual symbolism of the Lion’s Gate.

The Lion’s Gate is associated in modern spiritual traditions with courage, transformation, intention, abundance, and stepping into a stronger version of ourselves.

Imagine this energy as a great golden river of light flowing through Pretendland.

Storm and Phoenix place the Lovecules into the golden light.

The pills begin to glow.

💊✨💖✨💊

We also invite Tara and Guan Yin into our imagination, as symbols of compassion and mercy.

We ask them to help us hold one simple intention:

May compassion accompany every healing journey.

Now something strange starts happening at the Phoenix Rising Apothecary.

There are too many pills.

They begin floating out the windows!

Millions of tiny glowing emoji capsules rise into Earth’s atmosphere.

💊✨ 💊✨ 💊✨ 💊✨ 💊✨

They travel everywhere.

Across oceans.

Across mountains.

Across cities.

Across borders.

Until the air around Earth is filled with invisible Lovecules.

They don’t enter anyone.

They simply remain available.

From now on, if you ever need one, imagine reaching into the air.

A tiny glowing pill appears in your hand.

Program it with whatever intention you need.

And if you want Reiki added, say:

“I accept.”

THE LOVE CIRCLE

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Imagine you or your loved one is now in a circle.

You are surrounded by 38 Reiki practitioners sending waves of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and gently wrapping you in it.

Imagine your body and your organs releasing excess emotions, stress, and pain.

We will use the Violet Flame to gently clear heaviness and negativity from your body, its organs, and its systems.

Now hold out your hand.

💊

There is a tiny glowing pill resting in your palm.

Look closely.

Inside are hundreds of Lovecules.

Hearts.

Stars.

Hugs.

Sparkles.

Maybe even a tiny unicorn.

Puck and Atomic Self are standing beside you.

Puck looks at the pill and asks:

“What does your heart need today?”

Don’t overthink it.

Whatever comes to you can become your intention.

Imagine that intention entering the capsule.

If you would like Reiki added, say:

“I accept.”

Now imagine the pill dissolving into light and gently entering your aura.

Let the Lovecules travel wherever you welcome them.

Let them carry your intention through your energy field.

You don’t have to force anything.

You don’t have to understand anything.

Simply receive.

And remember:

There are more Lovecules floating around Earth whenever you need them.

💊✨💖✨💊

We will be here for 24 hrs, making Reiki available to anyone who chooses to receive it and supporting the release of stress and emotional heaviness while inviting in peace, balance, and connection.

Don’t worry.

We will be very gentle and take good care of your pain and excess negative emotions and feelings, if you have any.

Hope you all feel well tomorrow and ready to start a new week.

This is Master Storm.

I am an Usui Reiki Master.

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

This is it!

The Phoenix Rising Apothecary is OPEN!

🔥🪽💊✨💖

The Lovecules are ready.

The Reiki is available.

Reach for it whenever you choose.

Let us know tomorrow how you feel!

Thank you!
