Reiki Sponge Technique

Greetings to all the healers and lightworker community. Healing is the gentle touch of the higher power that realigns our energy system, and we are blessed to be a channel that can experience and pass on this gentle touch in the form of Reiki. In this article, I want to share something I have used in my healing sessions. It turned out to be a simple yet effective method to treat some of the most common ailments, such as pain, fever, stress, etc.

The Reiki Sponge Technique, as the name suggests, involves the visualization of an object (a sponge) that can be used in Reiki healing sessions to clear negative energy. I am sure that at this point, all your imaginations must be running wild, and whatever visualization everyone has works very nicely.

Here, I am sharing the process that I have applied and got good results with healing.

• As we start the traditional way, invoke Reiki with an attitude of gratitude and thank the universe, teachers, Reiki, and the patient. Thereby, cover yourself and the patient with a bright white light and draw all the symbols you are attuned to on your third eye and then the patient’s third eye.
• Ask Reiki and the universe to bless you and your patient and allow you to become a perfect channel. Now, feel the energy flowing through your palms. Draw the power symbol on both palms to enhance the energy flow.
• Start beaming Reiki to the patient and observe as the energy flows throughout the body. Visualize the patient soaking up the divine energy as Reiki flows through all the chakras and aura of the patient.

• As the energy flow progresses, you can feel the areas with blocked energy and unbalanced chakras that need healing. If you already know which area of the body needs healing, focus on those particular regions. In my case, the patient had severe, almost debilitating pain on both shoulder blades and neck. These areas appeared dark, and the energy wasn’t flowing normally; many blockages could be felt.
• Now, turn the right palm towards the universe and ask for a ‘sponge’ to help the patient relieve pain. Pray to the universe to grant this tool for the patient’s highest good. Now, feel a light, clear, medium-sized sponge appear in your right palm.
• Also, imagine a half-full bucket of sparking water by your side. You can even keep a bowl or bucket actually filled with water near you if you want.
• Now, squeeze the sponge and slowly place it on the patient’s affected area. Visualize it sucking all the pain and discomfort from the patient’s body. Then, shift that sponge to the bucket of sparkling water and cleanse it. See all the negativity being washed out from the sponge to the bucket.
• Again, place the sponge on the affected area and suck out the pain and remaining negativity. Cleanse the sponge and apply again. Keep repeating the process until you feel that the affected area has been cleared of negativity.
• Then, clean the sponge one final time, hold it in your palm, and return it to the universe with sincere thanks. Now, send Reiki to the affected area and see it heal completely as the white light fills in and renders it completely healthy and recharged.
• Feel the Reiki energy flowing all through the body and aura for a few minutes, and then end the session with gratitude toward the divine. Lastly, discard the imaginary bucket filled with negative energy in the sink. If you have placed a real bucket, throw away the water in the sink and avoid touching it. Wash your hands after the session.

This process can be repeated every day until the problem is completely resolved. It is a gentle yet effective method of healing conditions like pains that spread throughout the body, fevers, infections, etc. In cases of insomnia, anxiety, depression, etc., the sponge can be placed on the third eye to suck out the discomforting energy and help the mind relax.

Reiki has beautiful ways of surprising us. We must have faith in and trust the universe, as our efforts never go unnoticed. I hope you like the article. I wish you all love and light.
