Many Reiki healers work with the energy, guidance and protection of Angels and Archangels during healing treatments. From the same realm we can find and draw on the energy, guidance, and protection of the Dragons. I, for one, have a personal Guardian Dragon that travels with me during most of the healing sessions I do (for myself and others), during Shamanic journeying and in life in general.
Dragons are powerful mystical and mythical creatures that have haunted our imagination since the beginning of time. The image of the Dragon evokes in our consciousness the concepts of awesome power, mastery, splendour, mystery, and magnificent beauty. Those who regularly work with Dragon energy consider Dragons as effective and powerful spiritual protectors, as guides, as teachers and as healers. Dragons are masters of the Earth elements and through this they can help us to heal ourselves and others, understand Earth magic and help us remember al the ancient mysteries and wisdom to support us in healing ourselves and others.
Connecting with Dragon energy during any healing session will provide you with insight and empower your ability to grow spiritually, to make positive choices that will improve your life, and to accomplish your purpose as a lightworker and spiritual healer here on Earth.
We can invite Dragon energy into our Reiki healing session the same way as we would for any other guidance and protection. For me this is done when inviting Reiki in during Gassho, the First Pillar of Reiki. During the Gassho I would specifically connect with Dragon energy to invoke and infuse the Reiki healing energy with this energy as guided by my intuition as well as by my guides and spirit guides. The Dragon energy would also serve as its own guide.
Dragon Reiki focuses on healing and caring for the spirit, because of the belief is that if the spirit is in harmony and at peace, only then we can begin to heal ourselves on the outside. It teaches us that our bodies are naturally destined to heal themselves if our spirits are balanced and nourished.
There are different types of Dragons that have very different skills, and the energy of the Dragons in Dragon Reiki are…
Water Dragons
The Water Dragon which is a Silver or Blue Dragon brings connection, depth, and passion. The Water Dragon is there to help you solve hidden problems. It will help you to become liberated from your past, increase your energy, and balance your emotional state. It also brings often long forgotten and hidden memories and wishes to the fore. The Water Dragon supports healing painful past experiences, allowing a sense of peace and balance to be achieved in your life. The Water Dragon will give you the courage and compassion in this challenge.
Air Dragons
The Air Dragon, which is the White Dragon, brings insight, inspiration, and vitality. It also askes you to trust your inner voice. The Air Dragon will wrap you safely in his/her grasp and flying high, allow you to gain greater perspectives personally and globally, untroubled by the winds of change.
Fire Dragons
The Fire Dragon is often a Golden Dragon, and it is a symbol of transmutation, energy, and mastery. Its energy will fuel your inner fire and help you to overcome obstacles. It is associated with being powerful, brave, vital, and very energetic and transform low vibration qualities such as envy, rage, hate and anger. Being your guide, it will help you to transmute everything that may stop you in your ascension path, helping you to advance in your spiritual path. The Fire Dragon can also be a strong protector
Earth Dragons
The Earth Dragon or Green Dragon brings potential, power and riches and you will be shown what you are capable of. With the Earth Dragon’s assistance, you may discover the beauty and power that lies within you. The Earth Dragon resides deep within the Earth and can aid you in grounding scattered energies. The Earth Dragon is the home keeper, and a constant reminder of the abundance, patience, fertility, and energies that nature holds. With the energy of the Earth Dragon, we can revitalize our contact with the inner and outer nature and learn to love all natural beings of the planet. It can also help us to liberate our fears and transmute negative energies into healed energy.
The energy of the Dragon is an amazing tool that we access, found hidden inside us, and waiting to be awakened, so that it can be used for physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual healing, growth, and protection. Through meditation and mindfulness, we can become familiar and comfortable with the power of these magnificent and mystical creatures, inviting them into our lives as healers, teachers, guides, and protectors.

Well this is an interesting find. As someone who within the past 2 years has learned shamanic practices, found my power animal is a dragon and as such has started to work heavily with them, been sent down a reiki path which I will be starting in the next few months it’s wonderful to find a person who has such a similar path to mine.
