How to Make Reiki Essences

We can all agree that performing a Reiki healing session, whether in-person or on a distant basis, can have amazing benefits for the receiver. Reiki Essences are a wonderful way to provide Reiki healing to yourself or your client long after a Reiki healing session has ended. Reiki Essences infuse the higher frequencies of Reiki with a remedy we create, and it can be used in the same way one would use flower or homeopathic remedies. Reiki Essences contain the necessary vibrational patterns provided through Reiki energy for the re-creation of harmony on the physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual level.

Any Reiki practitioner can make their own Reiki Essences, and this is how…

Personal Preparation for making Reiki Essences

Reiki Essences encapsulates the highest frequencies of Reiki, and it is therefore important that you spend time doing your own personal preparation before preparing your Essences. Without the proper preparation your Reiki Essences may not work or their may be unintended healing reactions to the Essences, e.g. energy blocks that you may experience may be released and infused with the Reiki Essences and thus transmitted to your client who may then experience a physical and/or emotional response to the unpurified energy transmitted by you.

To prepare…

• Give yourself Reiki regularly and balance your chakras as part of your daily routine.
• Connect with your Higher Self and Inner Child and send them a distance treatment at least once a week.
• Make sure that you are feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally well before you make the Essences.
• During the time of making the Essences ensure that you are in a high vibrational state. This can be supported by cutting out all stimulants like coffee, tea, alcohol, and cigarettes and favouring a vegetarian diet.

When you feel ready, you can continue with the preparation of your Reiki Essences. Always listen to your Higher Self when making the Essences and follow the guidance that you receive.

Reiki Essences Ingredients

To prepare your Essences you will need the following…

• Depending on the intended use, a carrier substance such as white sugar cubes, purified water, or sweet almond oil (good for ointments).
• If you are storing the Essences for a while, alcohol to add to the water.
• Storage containers appropriate to the type of Essences that you are preparing. If the Essence is to be stored for an extended period, glass containers are recommended.
• Reiki.

Preparing the Reiki Essences

Step 1: Charging the Pattern:

• Using the Distant Symbol and the Power Symbol, initiate a distance treatment.
• Direct the flow of energy by calling the recipient’s name three times.
• Hold the palms of your hands away from you without focusing on the recipient in any way.
• Set the intention for making the Reiki Essences, explain precisely and briefly the purpose for making a lastingly effective Essence and the required healing pattern.
• Request to have the healing pattern made available to you.
• Offer Reiki and intensify the flow thereof, using the Power Symbol as you feel guided.
• Continue to request support, love and protection while making the Reiki Essence.
• Send Reiki for about 15 minutes.
• When you feel that it is complete, give thanks and continue with Step 2.

Step 2: Channelling Healing Powers:

• Using the Mental/Emotional Symbol and the Power Symbol, empower the carrier substance and state its name three times i.e., this water, this water, this water.
• Request that the vibrational pattern that you have called on in Step 1 be transferred into the carrier substance.
• Wait until you sense that this has been completed – this should take no more than 15 – 20 minutes.
• The Essences are now ready to be used.

Please note that if you are interrupted, you must start again from the beginning of the process.

Reiki Essence Dosage

Taking Reiki Essences Orally:

• For someone who has a slower response to Reiki healing, dilute the Reiki Essence in a ratio of 1:20 in a suitable carrier medium.
• For those that react easily to the subtleties of Reiki healing, dilute the Essence in a ratio of 1:100 in a suitable carrier medium.
• 1 to 5 drops a day can be taken orally and this dosage should be spread out through the day.
• When in doubt, a lower dosage should be used.
• For those who have never used Essences, 1 drop in a glass of water is recommended and it should be drunk throughout the day. Wait for 14 days, duly observing and noting the body-mind-spirit response to it. Only continue with using the Reiki Essence as intended where the response has been favourable.

Using Reiki Essences as a Rub:

• Dilute the Reiki Essences in a ratio of at least 1:50 in a suitable carrier medium.
• Use the Reiki Essence Rub as needed, one or more times daily, rubbing it into the affected area.
• For those who have never used Essences, rub it into the affected area. Wait for 14 days, duly observing and noting the body-mind-spirit response to it. Only continue with using the Reiki Essence Rub as intended where the response has been favourable.

Using Reiki Essences as a Room Spray:

• Dilute the Reiki Essences in a ratio of 1:100 in a suitable carrier medium in a spray bottle.
• For normal use, spray 1 – 2 spurts of the Reiki Essences Room Spray as a fine mist into a room. Use once daily.
• For your healing space, spray 1 – 2 spurts of the Reiki Essences Room Spray as a fine mist into a room. Use the Room Spray as you feel guided to, before or after healing sessions with clients.

Final Observation: For the first 3 hours after Reiki Essences have been taken or used, the person should not do anything that requires concentration and a normal state of consciousness. The occurrence of a Reiki healing trance has been observed during this period. This is due to the sudden release of the subtle, but strong, Reiki healing energies into the body-mind-spirit state. If you become aware and know how your individual clients respond to the Reiki Essences that you prepared for them, you can tailor the dosage to their personal needs. When in doubt, play it safe. And always trust your intuition and the spiritual guidance you receive.

All the best and enjoy making your own Reiki Essences.
