I have been a spiritual seeker for a very long time. One of the things that I like to do when I start my day is to go outside and watch the sun rise, which means I get up really early. In this quiet time that I share with the Universal Life Force, I feel all the wonders of the miracle of existence, and I connect very deeply with the Reiki energy in a very pure and healing way. Every moment that I spend in communion with this positive energy raises my spiritual vibration and I can literally feel my aura strengthening and expanding. This is the spiritual armor that we can all put on to protect and guide us as we go about our busy day.
As Reiki practitioners, we all have access to the healing power of the Universal Life Force at any time. The importance of daily self Reiki cannot be overstated; it is a foundational teaching of Reiki. Just as you cannot pour from an empty jug, you also cannot really be an effective Reiki practitioner if you are not in communion with the Universal Life Force.
It’s always a good idea to ask ourselves from time to time if we are giving ourselves enough self care and daily self Reiki to be effective Reiki practitioners. Are we too busy with our day-to-day lives? If we look down deep inside, are we feeling that other people are more important than us and deserve more healing than we do? As a Reiki practitioner, please don’t forget that you are as deserving of healing as any of your clients. In the sacred space of communion with the Universal Life Force you will find the peace and healing that you are looking for.
Here are a few tips to fit this foundational aspect of Reiki into your life.
- To make sure that you are doing your daily self Reiki, I find the easiest practice is to give yourself Reiki after you first wake up, before you even get out of bed. Take three deep cleansing breaths and do your hand positions down the front of your body (don’t worry, the Reiki energy will travel through your body to the back), and don’t forget to send yourself ALL of the symbols that you are attuned to. When you are finished, make sure to brush and smooth your aura to seal in all that wonderful healing energy. Give thanks to Reiki and you are ready to start your day with the full armor of spiritual protection. What a powerful way to start the day!
- If this is a difficult thing to do with your lifestyle, perform the above self Reiki at the end of the day, when you first get into bed. Not only will you receive healing, but you will also find that your sleep is much more deep and peaceful and you will wake up refreshed and ready to meet the day in a positive manner.
- Another interesting way to give yourself daily self Reiki is to infuse your food and drink with Reiki. This is a really fun and easy thing to do, and acts as a form of mindful meditation, which is well known to help people deal with stress and tension. To do this, simply place your hands around your food or drink and ask the Universal Life Force to infuse the healing power of Reiki into the item to be consumed. Once again, make sure to send all of the symbols that you are attuned to into the food or drink, thank the Reiki energy, and enjoy!
- A really quick and convenient way to send yourself Reiki is to find a place where you can close your eyes for a few minutes and take three deep breaths, visualizing the healing energy of Reiki flowing into your body and filling it up with white light as you inhale through your nose. As you exhale through your mouth, visualize any negative energy or pain exiting your body as a shadow. This dark energy is leaving, never to return. Repeat this breathing exercise whenever you feel stressed and you will find that you will be performing daily self healing easily and effortlessly. This is a powerful exercise!
Make sure to embrace the foundational importance of daily self Reiki, and watch your Reiki practice unfold in the perfect way for your healing and spiritual growth. Reiki blessings are all around you, and just waiting to be set free!
