Q&A: What Is A Reiki Box?

Articles

11 Apr 2013

The Reiki box technique is simplicity itself. Still, it’s very underrated and underused.

What is a Reiki box?

Traditionally, a Reiki Box is, quite literally, a box. In it you place pieces of paper on which you write or draw situations (or “requests”) that you want energy to be sent to. This way, you establish an “energetic signature” for that situation, that you or Reiki can later connect to.

Then, whenever you want, you just send Reiki to the box, intending that it goes to the situations identified by the pieces of paper in the box. This works very well, because the energy is guided by your intent. And when you added the requests, you intended that the healing you send to the box goes to them.

See some advantages of using a Reiki Box here, and some more Reiki Box tips here.

Using a physical box however is not really needed, because all that matters is your intent. You could also use a text file, a document, or a spreadsheet stored on your computer – and when sending Reiki intend that it goes to all the persons and situations mentioned in that file.

And if you have a smartphone, you could also use our great little app called “My Reiki Box” – available for iOS devices here.

    You can also palce your list underneath a lite candle or a bowl of water, when sending reiki energy.

      To ‘send’ or do distance healing you must use the sacred symbols. Which a student doesnt learn those until level 2. But with level 1, you can certainly hold your reiki box & give it energy n the contents inside. This would be like saying a prayer or blessing for someone. Not sending them energy. this is how I was taught,

      As a level 1 you haven’t had your 2nd attunement or been “given” the symbols necessary for distance reiki. However keep in mind that reiki is a remembered skill, not a learned skill. Therefore, while you haven’t been attuned (you can just think of this like tuning into a radio frequency) the skill is still there within you, it’s just “fuzzy”. So by all means practice! If you’re very in tune with your energy and very observant you may even notice the shift in the energy after you go through your level 2 training and receive your 2nd attunement. Enjoy!

    Essa idéia da caixa Reiki me parece ótima. Tenho algumas dúvidas como: num primeiro momento devo colocar os pedidos na caixa, fechar e fazer o Reiki na caixa? É assim que se faz? Quando tiver outros pedidos posso adicionar esses ao que já estão lá? Obrigada e abçs.

    Reply
    • Ana says

      November 24, 2014 at 6:54 pm

      Olá. Sim os pedidos são postos na caixa. Manda o Reiki com a intenção que vá para todos os pedidos/pessoas mencionadas dentro da caixa. Pode sempre adicionar mais. Não esquecendo de agradecer aos Senseis

      I am sure it would be the same thing, you are still sending Reiki and your intention is what you have on your vision board you already own. Good luck!

      Look-up Francisco Cândido Xavier (“Chico Xavier”), on YouTube. (Hope you Understand Either Br-Portuguese or Castellian Spanish. Most of these are Documentaries in Port, some do have either English Subtitles or are Dubbed). Either way, Xavier is one of the 2 or 3 most Celebrated Psychic Surgeons Ever. In Brasil, he’s considered almost tantamount to a “messiah” his Gifts were enormous. AND HE NEVER CHARGED, NEVER TURNED ANYONE AWAY; LIVED VERY, VERY MODESTLY. A True Role Model for Spiritual Seekers.

      It doesn’t matter, so long as it matters to you! I chose a little box (nothing special or expensive) but I just liked it, I put it on my desk and I put in my affirmation, and send Reiki to it!
      After a while you don’t have to repeat your affirmation everytime, just send the highest level of Reiki to it as many times and as often as you like.

      My teacher keeps a little notebook at each of our Reiki share meetups under the reiki table, filled with names we want to include and this way we all send them Reiki as we are working on everyone else. I also have a mini book i just started adding names too and keep inside my Reiki box.

      Find a local or nearby ReikiShare Group (preferably weekly or by-weekly meetings). Stick w/ it, even through your first few Insecure, unsure you do belong there weeks or months. Sooner or later, that Discomfort Disappears, you’ll begin Feeling as Competent as anyone else. Keep w/ your Coursework, yet not rushedly; Reiki Itself’ll let you Know when You’re Ready for your Next Level. Silently, quietly, Practice Your Reiki, in ANY Circumstances You find Yourself In–Trust Me: Few Realize the Power for Good Reiki truly Is. Write me, ask me about a Flight 5-1/2 hrs late, why & How it Did Get at our Destination in one piece; and I’ll tell you. (I’ve never Written about it because it sounds just too unbelievable, for our little 3D minds). I’m Gaea’s Midwife, and a Gendai Reiki Level IV Shipeden (Sage). My Reiki Mentor now, wants me to study Kriya Yoga…! I’ve begun!

      There is no need to rewrite the list.. anything over 3 minutes is ideal.. fr better results kp your reikibox in the northwest or north north west corner of your house.

      You can send Reiki daily, weekly or whenever. All you need to do is send the Reiki to the box, intending that the Reiki glow to all requests in the box.

      When you’re sending Reiki healing to your babies, so it will the intent that they grow up healthy, strong, happy, etc. Whatever you want for your babies, you can send those intents through the power of Reiki.

    Great idea for an app. Many times I’m not at my computer to access my healing list and this is a great way to take the list with me. Also, instead of writing down a request on paper to add to my list is eliminated by adding directly to the app.

    With reiki i had amazing experiences. After my attunement 1 i slipped in domain of timeless dimension where one experiences non duality.Since then there is no looking back. Since we are all creaters, i personally suggest that for best results with a reiki box , place intentions with date . Place smaller goals with time period of 21 days ahead and bigger ones for 63 days. With love and blessings Simmi.
