Winter Reiki Reflections

Articles

5 Feb 2020

In my part of the world, we are currently experiencing Winter. The biting cold winds, snow encrusted grass, and early darkness tell us that it’s time to pause, reflect, and allow for some time to pass. This is the time to pause and wait for regrowth.

I like to use the Winter months, as a time for personal reflection and to take a step back, instead of moving forward. To assess what I have already learned and to see, if there has been some knowledge lost over time. To reconnect to how I was first taught Reiki. Much like the bare trees outside, I like to go back to the roots and become re-acquainted with the history of Reiki.

Since the beginning of the New Year, I’ve gone back to the beginning of my Reiki journey. I have set aside, for a few months, learning new aspects, taking new courses, or reading new materials. I am delving back into the original Reiki manuals that I was given when I first took Reiki. I want to refamiliarize myself with the materials. Over time, as we grow used to our own practice, I find that there are tidbits of information that may have been lost. It’s natural that we use Reiki in our own way and change some of the methods we first learned. By going back to the beginning, you may find new insights and information that really strike a chord with your current practice. Perhaps, the first time you read your Reiki manual, you were inundated with information. Now, you can take time to go back and savor the parts that connect with you.

I am also using the Winter, to go back and learn other sources of Reiki materials. Again, I’m more interested in concepts that I’m already familiar with. I want to go back to the roots. Strip away what I may have added to my practice and try and see the learning of Reiki from a different angle. As a more seasoned practitioner, I find it helpful to touch base and relearn. I find using this time to refresh is also a good way to keep the ego in check.

The cold weather of winter often keeps us indoors. Consider this another great opportunity to expand your knowledge base. It might be a great time to re-read about the origins of Reiki. Find different accounts of Mikao Usui’s origins. Delve into the beginnings of Reiki itself as a natural healing energy.

Refamiliarize yourself with concepts that you might assume you already know. There’s always more information that might spark your curiosity and lead you down a new path of discovery. In taking time to pause and examine all of the knowledge and training that has gone into making you the current Reiki practitioner that you are; there is the room to find new or missed information that allows you to grow into your future Reiki self.
