One of my favourite Reiki techniques for self-care and healing is Reiki Toning, which combines Reiki with vocal sound vibrations. Using the voice as a healing tool deepens the Reiki experience, enhances energy flow, and encourages deep self-connection. This practice works with the three tanden points, or as I like to call them, the Three Diamonds—Earth (Hara/belly), Heart, and Heaven (Third Eye). By placing one hand on the belly and the other on the heart while sounding, we naturally connect and balance these key energy centres.
Reiki Toning Exercise for Self-Healing
- Find a Quiet Space – Sit or lie down comfortably in a peaceful environment.
- Set an Intention and invite Reiki – Place your hands together at your heart (Gassho), take a few deep breaths, and set an intention for your practice, such as: “I welcome balance, healing, and harmony into my being.” Invite universal healing energy to flow from your Hara and visualise bright light.
- Hand Positions – Place one hand on your belly (Hara) for grounding and the other on your heart for emotional connection. As you tone, you will naturally activate the Third Eye, connecting the three diamonds.
- Use Vocal Toning – As you breathe deeply, tone the following sounds while focusing on their vibrations –
- “Ooo” (Earth – Hara/Belly) – Grounds and centres you, connecting to stability and life force energy.
- “Ahh” (Heart – Love and Compassion) – Opens the heart and expands emotional healing.
- “Mmm” (Heaven – Third Eye/Intuition) – Awakens intuition, clarity, and higher wisdom.
- Feel the Energy – Notice any shifts in your body, emotions, or energy flow as you sound and open to Reiki.
- Practice for at least 10 Minutes – Allow yourself to fully immerse in the experience, gently repeating the toning cycle as you breathe deeply and relax into the sensations.
- Close the Practice – Take a few deep breaths, bring both hands to your heart, and express gratitude for the healing received.
This practice is deeply grounding and heart-opening for me and those I guide, as it brings harmony to the body, mind, and spirit through Reiki, sound, and breath.
