Welcome to /r/reiki




Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

What to do after reiki 1 session

I just had my level 1 a couple of days ago. I don't feel anything different. I started meditating again. Is there anything else I should be doing in the next 21 days?

Too many thoughts!

I have recently completed Reiki part 1 and have been working daily with the energy (currently day 11 of the 21 day attunement). I have many different reactions ranging from sensations of warmth, cold, prickling and throbbing to shaking hands and facial twitches. I take that to mean that something is happening?

While I am enjoying moments of deep relaxation, my mind seems to be full of chatter and I am finding it hard to keep it down. The most ridiculous thoughts keep passing through and while I try not to give them my attention, I find it increasingly hard not to considering I am in the attunement state for 40 minutes per day which is relatively long for me. Any tips on how be more present for prolonged periods while silencing the rapid thoughts?

Healing please

A friend named John is in hospital in Plano Texas in very great need. I hope his higher self will accept. Please send reiki healing for him in great quantities, as you feel is right. We all need him, and if it's in the plan, we want him here with us.

Thank you.

Desperate for Healing - Considering Ending it all….

I’m desperate and am in need of physical healing. Both my knees and one shoulder need healing. Also, my cardiovascular/circulatory and renal systems both need to be healed. To be honest full body healing would be most optimal. I am to the point of ending it all because these injuries have drastically affected my quality of life and livelihood. Please if any of you can help it would be GREATLY appreciated! I’m begging for healing and am beyond open to receiving! Thank you all!

Table recs (with heat)?

Hi all, I'm looking to get a massage table for Reiki. I want to make sure it is comfortable for clients who may have joint stiffness/pain, has a heat option and to know it won't shift or creak. No smell/offgassing. Heaviness isn't a huge deal. Recommendations from your personal experience?

On down days

We all have those days when we are down and it seems no matter what we do the mood does not lighten. What are things you do when this happens? Do you request others to send energy, meditation, walk in nature, self reiki, workout, etc.

Another "I don't feel anything" post but...

Do any masters here not feel anything? I got attuned a week ago, and I have like 0 intuition or any sensitivity to energy. Why am I doing Reiki? Idk. I thought it would be cool to help people/myself my own way/this way. I'm committed to practicing every day.

That said, I don't ever feel shit. I know it doesn't mean it's not working, but just once Reiki Gods... I had an experience after the first night after my first level 1 class that you can check in my most recent post, but since that, nothing. That happened with intense intention. With Reiki, you're not supposed to really do much of anything. At least the Reiki Shiki Ryoho way. So I feel like I cheated. Just once, I'd like any sign. I know that's gonna be a long way. It seems this life is teaching me patience. That's probably every life tbf 😅

I have had 3 sessions done on me, and 2/3 I've felt stuff. 1st one I got intenstly mad/sad when the bottoms of my feet were touched. 2nd time I felt myself moving/swaying even though I was laying on a table, and 3rd, I felt diddly. I know, I know... Reiki is still working, but is there a discovery one has to innerstand to be able to feel it? My friend does his own Kundalini Shakti energy work from a distance, and he feels it. He did it on my friend, and he felt it. I know I shouldn't compare, but do even people with years, decades of experience still feel nothing? Why do this if no one is going to feel this too since a lot are like me. Idk. Shower thought and over thinking

Mushroom Reiki

When I perform reiki while using mushrooms it becomes something entirely different. I'm guided by the mushroom. It moves my body with me, we play uplifting music, and I tell a story about how I will turn the person's greatest pain into their greatest strength. Throughout the course of the evening as I work on the person it lifts them up in many ways, and I do this with the mushroom, together. They guide me as a novice, and the healing session becomes so much more than I can do alone at this point. The mushroom also likes to speak to the person I'm working on, answering any questions they have. It's almost like the universe itself is using my body as a vessel. It's a very beautiful experience. I like to call it vibrational healing.

Has any other shaman here experienced anything like this? I've tried looking, but haven't been able to find anything. It doesn't have to be with the use of mushrooms, I'm just looking to see if others have experienced something similar. Thank you.

A growing concern…

Hey all, I got my reiki 2 attunement this past January and have been practicing as much as I can ever since. But the last couple of months I keep feeling disturbed… looking for advice, guidance, personal thoughts, etc.

When we pull negative energy out of ourselves, another person, place, thing, etc, we are always instructed to give it to the earth to be transmuted in to loving, healing energy.

By sending so much negativity directly into the earth, are we adding to the problem of the earths health? Obviously we aren’t solely responsible, but… We keep assuming the earth automatically has enough capacity to transmute all that we send to it. But… does it? Especially with all of the other things that are definitely causing the problem, I just can’t help but think that after nearly 100 years of reiki being available to us, maybe we aren’t balancing the scales enough. Maybe we’ve been focusing on feeding the earth negativity to transmute a little too much.

Is it a common practice to send pure reiki into the earth as often as we can? I never really hear about anyone doing that. I think after my sessions/self practice, or while I’m out on walks/hikes, I want to start doing reiki on the earth.

Thanks for reading 💜

New to Reiki. Anger Mantra Problem

I don't know much about whoever developed the mantra against anger, they probably weren't living a life filled with societal-sanctioned injustice. It was probably some highly respected educated guru respected in their community. It's like the First Lady of the United States who's personal life experience led her to believe that "nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent" A Limited perspective doesn't apply in all situations.

.When I was growing up in the 80's I had bad learning disabilities. I was therefore actively abused and harassed all day every day by everyone around me (all my classmates) who did so with the intent to hurt me for their personal pleasures and enjoyment.

My mother was a Catholic who did not only not believe me, but would shame me for being angry at them, my active abusers (instead of being compassionate and forgiving and understanding) She taught me to ignore them and not be angry which was a popular (and only go-too solution ) to bullying at the time. And If I didn't endure the constant abuse without letting it get to me, then it was MY fault I was feeling hurt.

What I am trying to say is I went though that. I NEVER benefited by repressing my anger and telling myself not be angry. I went through that my whole life and I only ended up in the mental hospital and suicidal. If I don't have my anger I have NOTHING. No defense against society's continued hatred for disabled people.

Can I just ignore that part of the mantra or change it to meet my needs?

Request

Hello friends, Thank you to all who have been sending reiki selflessly this holiday weekend. I was wondering if one of you might send some grounding energy to me? I started a side gig recently and it has me feeling manic and losing sight of what’s important. I feel kind of out of control. I have done some self reiki but it’s always good to feel grounded by the light of others. Love and light to you all 💝

Reiki for bad back?

I’ve injured my back at work a little over 3 weeks ago. I’ve done all the correct medical things - rest, ice, targeted stretches, analgesia, muscle relaxant - but it’s not getting better.

How would you all use reiki to help? If anyone fancies sending a little my way I’d gladly accept it, but also curious to know how you’d do self reiki for this? I’ve only ever used self reiki in a more spiritual sense rather than for something physical.

Anyone ever help heal someone's vision issues with reiki?

Hi everyone, my names Mika. I'm a 31 year old man who lost his central vision 3 years ago due to my autoimmune disease. While I'm medicated and have no active inflammation, I am now legally blind.

Anyway, I would love to hear about stories or experiences, if they exist, of eye healing from reiki. IM CONSIDERING ADDING REiki to my existing medical treatment, but doctors have said that no meds can reverse the damage.

Amazing but questionable dream

I typically let my dreams come in and out, sometimes they happen in real life, sometimes I feel as though it’s a lesson I’m learning in the subconscious and of course the randoms. I’m a reiki healer and I had this dream I was giving a man a ride to his house. He asked if he could give me a blessing. When he held my hand, I could see every chakra and symbol in its own place literally lighting up under my skin, in their own individual colors. I left and thanked him. When I tried to explore, I could shut them off by grounding and when I focused on each chakra it would light up. It was SO beautiful, it was like seeing what I feel and put my energy in show up in real life. The man passed away the next day and I went to his funeral. His wife could see me light up and she panicked and asked what he did, I told her. She said nothing comes free, he shouldn’t have given it to me. I panicked and that’s all I remember. It was so beautiful but I trusted her reaction as urgent and sincere. I don’t know what to think of this? Any insight would be soooo immensely appreciated! I’d never bother someone with a dream if it didn’t feel soooo very pertinent. 🩷☀️

Humanitarian Reiki

Hello everyone! I'd like to thank all of you for helping with the humanitarian reiki last week :) Your contributions really do make it easier to perform global healings during the week.

I'd like to ask again for everyone to please help us with this humanitarian effort.

For those of you who don't know what this is, it's effectively a weekly online healing circle for humanitarian issues that is run by me and the reiki masters at . I have ensured that this healing will last for a full week. You do not need to send healing for a week, just contribute what you can :) I set this up to go for a week so that everyone, in every time zone and circumstance, can contribute if they like and so that these issues can get a full week's worth of healing from a collective.

A lot of Reiki masters already do this kind of thing, but I want to bring it to Reddit because I think more people will be able to join in this way. We can do more with more people and if I've learnt anything in doing Reiki, it's that when you work with one or more person for a healing, you can do so much more than you can on your own.

We collectively have an incredibly powerful healing tool at our disposal and I want to wield it for the good of all. I'm also open to other energy healing modalities being added to this healing, I will not be exclusive to Reiki when people are in need.

For Level 1s, if you want to add your Reiki to this humanitarian Reiki effort, I have provided all the distance symbols necessary for Reiki 1s to assist and programmed Reiki with intention to assist you. Here are your instructions on how to join:

  1. Pace yourself. Choose only one situation from the list below, doing only one at a time will ensure you can do more in the long run.
  2. Write down your chosen situation on a piece of paper, this turns that paper into a proxy.
  3. Place your hands over the written situation and say, "Reiki, please add this healing to OtakuScientist's healing circle to heal humanitarian crises."
  4. If you start to feel sick from sending too much Reiki, stop immediately and do some self care and rest.

It's okay if you can only get to one situation. Do as much as you safely can without burning yourself out. If you can only do it for 5 mins, that's okay. 5 mins is better than nothing. Your contributions, no matter how small, are helpful :)

For Level 2s if you want to add your Reiki to this field, I'll share my spin on a technique I learnt in my Traditional Usui level 2 class. It does not require a proxy. This is also a technique for setting up a healing field:

  1. Do the Distance Symbol (personally, when I do this, I see the Distance Symbol turning into a bag, ready to hold and collect extra Reiki)
  2. Add as many symbols as you are called to add, let the Distance Symbol-bag collect your added symbols
  3. Tell Reiki where you want the healing to go. In this case, say, "Reiki, please add this healing to OtakuScientist's healing circle to heal humanitarian crises."
  4. Let the Distance Symbol do its thing, carry on with your day.

I am only one person and I cannot know every humanitarian crisis going on at the moment. So if you know of any humanitarian crises that I haven't addressed (I'm sure there are others), please comment them below and I'll ensure that healing gets to that situation.

So far, I've set the healing circle to go to:

  • the Ukraine war
  • war in the Congo
  • the war in Gaza
  • climate change at large
  • homelessness
  • recent flooding in Spain
  • Sudan
  • Yemen
  • Libya
  • vulnerable people
  • Myanmar
  • Tibet
  • all oppressed peoples
  • All animals (endangered, vulnerable, wild, domesticated)

As for the issue of permission, you can send Reiki to a general situation without requiring permission from people because it is healing the situation rather than the people themselves. But I also ask Reiki to go to people if their higher selves agree to receive the reiki.

I am still figuring out the kinks in this weekly online healing circle, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them and I (or one of the other reiki masters running this) will respond :)

I will be starting this healing at the time of this post, so please help us. Thank you :)

Aura around hands

Gazing at my hands while making an energy ball, I could see a green aura around my left hand and a blue aura around my right hand(like a green/blue highlighter outlining my hands). I could also see blue sparkish types of flashes between my hands occasionally. Any thoughts on why the different colours? Sparks?Can this be the beginning seeing energy? If so how do I develop it?

Reiki healing for extreme truama

I’ve been stuck with extreme trauma forever now and nowadays I get extremely anxious over genuinely everything. My self-esteem is at an all time low. I’m in chronic pain emotionally and physically. I’m usually always frantic and I’m having extreme sleep issues. I am having extreme flare ups of ptsd almost all the time. I’m extremely afraid of others and my own body and mind. I truly feel like I’m in hell. I even attempted taking my Own life twice this past month:( can anyone please help me? I just feel so stuck. My emotional pain is so great. I resist everything. I just wish I was better at accepting things but I am always resisting everything. Thank you in advance.

Reiki for drug side effects

Hello. I’m about to embark on a course of medical treatment that’s known to be toxic and cause a lot of painful side effects, including brain fog, depression, nausea, and kidney and bone marrow damage. Would appreciate it if anyone can send reiki, particularly to protect my brain, kidneys, and bone marrow. Hope you are all well.

Self treatments

Hi everyone, I got my level 1 last week and I’ve been trying to keep up with daily self treatment. I’m supposed to do 2 a day but it’s almost impossible to do the first one as 45min of my time in the morning it’s difficult to happen. So my question is, could I do self treatments through the day? Let’s say I have 10 minutes free so I just do 2-3 hand positions and then continue my day and so on. Any advice regarding that would be appreciated!
