Practicing Reiki – A Healing and Cleansing Process

I do believe that most people who have a Reiki session and/or become trained in the modality experience some form of what is termed a “healing reaction” or “cleansing reaction.” Have you personally ever felt this this?

I have written about this numerous times, simply because it is a relatively common experience. Such a reaction […]

Practicing Reiki – Sessions on the Go

For a typical Reiki treatment, a client removes shoes only and then lays down on a Reiki table, which is similar to a massage table. The one-hour session may consist of 10-15 minutes of discussion with the remainder being table-time — the part where an individual deeply relaxes and is open to the healing benefits […]

The Reiki Modality – Offering Light and Healing Energy

Reiki is known as a gentle, yet powerful healing system. It is gentle in the quality and feel of the energy, but potentially powerful in terms of effective results. Sometimes Practitioners are known as “Lightworkers.”

However, I personally consider myself a “healing facilitator” — a conduit for a lovely, radiant, soothing energy that emanates from […]

Reiki Healing – Practitioner and Client Discussion Prior to a Session

Have you ever faced this scenario: you have a new client who is quite talkative and the pre-treatment discussion seems to go on and on to the point where it seems like you will never get the client onto your Reiki table and into a state of deep relaxation…

Is there such a thing as […]

Reiki – Letting Go of Fear-Based Beliefs

As a practitioner, are you extremely concerned about picking up the negativity of others, or the “bad” karma of others as you offer them Reiki?

I have found that Practitioners vary in their response to that question. While many just wrap themselves in a strong and lovely cocoon of Reiki healing light, there are those […]

Practicing Reiki – A Process of Self Healing and Enlightenment

I often refer to Reiki as a “journey” or a “path” and when I teach a Level I class, it is exciting for me to see brand-new students begin this enlightening part of their lives. We learn the Precepts, some meditations, some Japanese Reiki techniques, hands-on healing, self-healing practices — all the foundation tools for […]

Reiki – The Newly Trained Practitioner

You have taken your First Degree class and learned all the Reiki basics — you leave class as a full-fledged “officially” certified Reiki Practitioner. You are feeling quite good about your accomplishment and might even be on an energy-high after your attunement. So you go home — and what’s next? How will you use your […]

Reiki Healing – The Wisdom of the Energy

We are all taught about what is known as the “wisdom” of Reiki — or, as I tell my own students, the phrase “Reiki has its own wisdom — it goes where it needs to go.” This is actually the beauty of this holistic modality in that the Practitioner does not need to direct or […]

Reiki Healing – Set Your Intention for the Energy to Flow

You may have heard that Reiki is about “intention.” I have had a number of students ask about this concept, and at first, they are not sure exactly what is meant by it. Well, it is about as simple as it sounds. The dictionary defines the term intention as “an act or instance of determining […]

Reiki Practitioners – Let Your Ego Step Aside for More Effective Healing

As Practitioners, we are advised early on to let our egos move out of the way. What does that mean exactly and are you personally able do this?

The Dictionary has many definitions for the “ego” including: the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from […]
