Combining Reiki with Numerology

Article by Corie Chu

Numerology came from ancient times, most notably through the work of Pythagoras. It used to take hours to create a birth chart, but just like everything else, Numerology has evolved and now it takes just minutes to create a birth chart. The Numerology system that I primarily work with was in fact inspired by Yogi Bhajan, the Guru who brought Kundalini Yoga to the West. And while Kundalini heavily involves breathwork, as many of us in this community know, so does Reiki. As a Reiki Master Teacher, Numerology Teacher and a student of Kundalini Yoga myself, I’ve found many shared qualities.

Numerology is a practical tool that can help us understand who we are, how we process information mentally, our lessons in life (aka karma), how we are projected to others, but who we really are at the core. It shares what our talents and gifts are and yet also helps us identify our weaknesses, which is handy so we can work on becoming better in those areas. Additionally, it reveals information about our life’s purpose and insight on how to reach our purpose.

Numerology has helped me understand who I am and how I can be more effective as a healer. It’s helped my Reiki students massively in identifying how they can best channel Reiki to others too. I’ve found it to be a super useful diagnostic tool for my clients before a Reiki treatment.

In Numerology, we work mainly work with numbers 1-11 (with exception of a few other Special Numbers and Master Numbers which we won’t get into here.) Any number above 11 gets reduced to a single digit number. For example, the number “12” would be viewed as single digits and added together: 1+2 = 3.

Let’s take a look at your/your client’s birth month number which represents the “Lesson” (aka karma/challenges in life). Lessons usually occur more notably from ages 0-18, but they will continue coming and repeating themselves throughout our lifetime until they are truly addressed, and only the Universe gets to decide when a lesson is complete. So if you/your client notices a pattern and thinks “Why does this keep happening to me?” well, it’s time for some inward journeying. Identifying the “Lesson” number can help you look at your specific teachings of life from even more angles.

Now, remember, these characteristics ONLY pertains to your/your client’s “Lesson” number so keep in mind, you/your client have so much more to offer from 8 other numbers from other chart positions. Numbers in other positions are there to bring balance or help resolve karmic lessons so some “Lessons” may have already been addressed or in the learning process. Personal year numbers and master cycles will take into effect too!
