In this Reiki system you will be attuned to the energy of Excalibur, the Sword of Truth. You will learn how to tap into the archetypal energies of Merlin and the Lady of the Light to heal and manifest. This is an excellent system for manifestation as well as clearing away external obstacles to success and happiness. You will also use the principles of alchemy to create the life you want.
# This system is designed for existing Reiki practitioners, so it is assumed you understand the basics of Reiki and how to visualize a Reiki symbol to flow the Reiki energy. The Excalibur Reiki energy can be used in the same way that regular Reiki can. You can flow the energy to yourself or another person through the palms of your hands just as in regular Reiki. The focus of this course, however, is to show how to use the special qualities of Excalibur Reiki. The first difference between Excalibur Reiki and regular Reiki is that Excalibur Reiki does not use a traditional symbol per se. There are two Excalibur Reiki symbols and they work in the following ways: 3 Element Energy Center – www.elementenergy.com
Excalibur, the Sword of Truth Once attuned to Excalibur Reiki, you will receive the symbol of Excalibur, the Sword of Truth.
Excalibur will appear to each practitioner differently. Please see the section on “receiving attunements” for more information. (As you work with the energy, the image of Excalibur may also change and shift.) Excalibur is used to cut through the veil of illusion separating us from our true spiritual selves. As such, it is best used to clear out negative energy, remove negative attachments to objects, people, places, and things, cut etheric cords between people, and provide protection from negative energy and even negative entities or thought forms. You can use Excalibur during a regular Reiki session to add to the healing energy you are sending. Simply imagine the image of the sword in the palms of your hands prior to starting the Reiki flow (you can use it separately or together with other Reiki symbols). To use Excalibur for clearing, you do not need to touch the client. Imagine the sword in your mind clearing away the negative energy, etheric cords, or attachments. Or, you can literally “hold” the sword as if it were in your hands and make pantomime motions to cut away the negative energy. To use Excalibur for protection, you can envision the sword (make it as big as you are) working as an aura sentry, in front of you and also behind you, blocking any negative energy from coming your way. Excalibur also represents the positive aspects of masculine energy.

The Holy Grail, Chalice of Enlightenment The second symbol is the Holy Grail, or Chalice. The Grail is used to bring light, peace, and clarity. Like Excalibur, the Holy Grail symbol will appear to each practitioner differently. It may also change over time.
You can use the Grail to activate Reiki energy for the recipient. It brings a light, clean energy, sort of like a refreshing cup of clear spring water. The Grail energy brings the light of spiritual peace and enlightenment to the recipient. You can also imagine negative energy, problems, or issues being put into the cup, where they will be transmuted and released. The Holy Grail also represents positive aspects of feminine energy.

$ ! " $ At any time, you may ask the Knights of the Round Table for assistance. They can assist with your healings and especially with your personal protection. Simply ask and they will appear. The Knights are especially good with getting rid of unwanted people and negative entities. Ask them to protect you and remove these negative influences from your life. If possible, this will be done in the best way, for the highest good of all concerned.
" Merlin, as a Magician and Wizard, knew the ancient secrets of alchemy to transform common metals into gold. You can also call upon Merlin to help transform any area of your life. You can call upon Merlin at any time. It doesn’t matter if you see him or hear him. Just ask for his help. Transforming something is different from getting rid of it, replacing it, or destroying it. When you transform something, you are taking one thing and changing its basic properties – its very essence and being – and making it into something else. This is an extremely efficient and positive way of using “bad things” in your life. Rather than just getting rid of something, and wasting all that existing energy, you can use alchemy to transform it or transmute it into something positive. Often the results from alchemy 6 Element Energy Center – www.elementenergy.com
are much more powerful than just getting rid of something and replacing it with something better. This is because all the negative energy that had been harnessed in the old, “bad” thing is now in the new positive thing. If you have a problem or issue in your life, simply hand it over to Merlin and ask him to transmute the problem for you. Merlin will put the problem into his alchemical transformer. Once the alchemy has been completed, whatever is for the highest good will emerge. It may take some time for the full transformation to take place, but trust in the process. Meanwhile, work on the issue in the “real world” in the best way you know possible. Merlin can also be asked to assist in healing sessions. Ask him to use his powers of alchemy to transform the negative energy or disease into positive energy and health.
$ " The Lady of the Lake brings wisdom and healing. When you need her special blessings in your life, just ask. If you are troubled over an issue and don’t know which way to turn, ask the Lady of the Lake to help you. The best time to ask for help is right before you go to sleep. She will work to give you answers in your dreams. The Lady of the Lake can also be asked to help with healing sessions. She brings a beautiful, peaceful, calm energy.

! To follow is the Excalibur Reiki attunement process. You are also welcome to use any existing attunement method you are already familiar with. In-Person Attunement
Most people you attune to Excalibur Reiki should already be Reiki Masters or at least Level II. If not, you should make sure the person has had a Reiki session in the past week (at minimum). Your students should be prepared that they will be receiving Excalibur and the Holy Grail and to allow themselves to see these objects in the way that works best for them. They may see the sword with a jewel-encrusted hilt or maybe it’s plain. They may see a gold chalice for the Grail or a simple wooden cup. It is up to them. For the attunement: Have the client sit in front of you with eyes closed to receive the attunement. Call upon Merlin and the Lady of the Lake to help with the attunement. To pass the attunement, place both hands on the client’s head and send Excalibur into the crown chakra, seeing it expand to fill the entire body. State out loud: “Merlin, please use the power of alchemy to transform any negatives in this person’s life to positives.” Wait a few minutes. After some time has passed, send the Holy Grail. 8 Element Energy Center – www.elementenergy.com
“Lady of the Lake, we call upon you to consecrate the person, so that they may use their healing ability wisely, and for the highest good.” Wait another few minutes. “Thank you.” You are finished. (If you are called to state something else, trust your intuition.) Distance Attunement
Distance attunements are just as effective as in-person attunements. You do not even need to send the attunement at the same time the client receives it (as attunements can be sent through time and distance). If you want to send the attunement at the same time the client receives it, then you will need to set a mutually beneficial time to do so. Have the client prepare themselves on their end by finding a quiet place to meditate for at least a half-hour. You can also send the attunement with the intention that the client will receive it when they are ready. All you need to do is send the attunement with that intention, and then direct the client to set aside a time to receive the attunement (a half-hour at least) at their convenience. For both methods, the client can open themselves up to receiving the attunement by repeating to themselves out loud or silently: I am now receiving the Excalibur Reiki attunement sent by .

I now ask Merlin to please use the power of alchemy to transform any negatives in my life to positives.
(They should wait a few minutes until they see Excalibur.) Lady of the Lake, I call upon you to consecrate me, so that I may use my healing ability wisely, and for the highest good.
(Wait a few minutes until they see the Holy Grail.) Thank you.
To send the attunement: Call upon Merlin and the Lady of the Lake to help with the attunement. Then, imagine that you are sending Excalibur with the intent to attune the client. Then you can send the Holy Grail. Take as much time as you need for each. Thank Merlin and the Lady of the Lake for their help.
