We can use Reiki and healing energy to bring cleansing, strength/protection and healing into our homes, our work spaces and even extend it out into our neighborhoods. I often use this technique during and after an illness in the house, after an argument or a bad mood has happened, and before and after guests visit. Anytime your home begins to feel energetically heavy and dense or you sense tension and upset is a good time to use this technique or something similar to clear the energy in your space. It is also helpful when you know you could use a boost of strength, such as when a big storm is coming. I will write another article specifically about using Reiki for storm protection very soon as this works very well.
First, sit or stand somewhere comfortable in your home and take a few deep, cleansing breaths to center yourself. Ask the Healing Energy of the Universe to assist you in bringing strength, cleansing and healing to your home and all beings live there. Intend that all that does not belong be cleared away. Call upon the strength of the directions–North, South, East and West, above, below, within. Ask the elements that are the basis of all life to support you–Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Ether. Call upon any guides that feel appropriate to you.

Next, Envision the Power Symbol (CKR) and draw it in the air with your hand, if you like. Then begin making a chi ball in front of your body, about the size of a soccer ball. Roll this energy ball between your hands and begin to feel the energy build as you envision the Power Symbol (CKR), the Mental/Emotional Symbol (SHK), and the Distant Symbol (HSZSN), infusing the chi ball with their energies. Once this chi ball feels complete, give it a push toward the North facing wall of your home with the intention that it infuse its energies into it, clearing and healing as it goes. Repeat this step with the South facing wall, East, West and then do the same with the floor and the ceiling.
After you have infused all directions, the floor and ceiling of your space with healing chi balls, form another one in the same manner. This new one will be directed specifically into yourself and it will amplify your own healing, strengthening, and cleansing. Once you have formed the chi ball, push it into your heart center and envision it radiating outward from there, filling you with all of the symbols. Imagine CKR, in particular, filling each cell, each molecule until they are now radiating a glowing and healthy light. Imagine that all that needs to be cleansed and released is easily letting go from each cell, each molecule and all is coming back into balance. You may notice pain releasing, or things popping loose as energy frees itself. Allow yourself to sit peacefully and rest, feeling this warm sensation for as long as you like.

Bonus Exercise: If you choose to keep going, you can continue clearing energy in your home and even your neighborhood in much the same way. Simply allow the image of CKR to continue to radiate outward from your heart center, infusing cells and molecules. Know that it will be just as healing to whatever you infuse it into as it feels when you infuse it into yourself. You can envision and intend that healing energy in CKR infuse the molecules in the structure of your building, the trees on your property, each blade of grass, the neighbor’s homes, the soil, your car, even molecules of the air. The possibilities are endless! Let the energy and your creativity guide you.

Thanks for sharing this…. I try doing this type as since some time I’ve had people around who attack. Anything I can do to protect after this healing.
Namaste .
Muzna,
I tend to think in terms of harmonizing rather than protecting. It creates the same shift in energy, yet it doesn’t have the resistance aspect of trying to block something. When you say you are trying to protect or guard from something, it instantly pulls to mind the idea that something bad is trying to harm you and that creates negative emotions and energy. When you create the idea of harmonizing the energy in your environment, you automatically dispel anything negative by bringing it into harmony and balance. Harmony only brings thoughts and energy of peace. This is what we truly want in our homes.
Hi Angie,
Loved this article!! Like the concept of calling in all the four elements…Much Love
Hello Mam,
Thank you for sharing such an article in the net. I have completed 2nd degree Reiki. This is a very personal letter asking you what to do in this matter. I wanted to help my dears and nears, in that way my friend gave me an information that she was conceived. I informed her call me when she has any problem to heal her by doing Reiki. She misunderstood me and left speaking to me. Even she is refusing my phone calls at all the time I call her. Please can you give any suggestion about this matter, only to my mail-id.
There is really nothing you can do but accept your friend’s wishes that she doesn’t want to talk right now, for whatever reason. You can send healing to the situation, for the greatest and highest good, as well as to yourself to heal the grief that you feel from the situation, but you can not interfere with your friend’s path, no matter what your wishes are. Sometimes the best healing comes from just letting go and understanding that it is not your decision.
Thank you very much Mam, I became very much free after when I asked you a suggestion about this matter.
