Healing is about returning to your true nature—allowing life-force energy to flow through you dynamically and naturally. I could list many things I love about Reiki. But most of them aren’t even about a 45-minute healing session. The brilliance of reiki is how it changes you. Yes, partly, this is on an energetic level; reiki clears any blockages to us being an open healing channel. As it flows, it subtly and powerfully shifts you into a lighter and clearer state of being.
The onus is on us as healers and lightworkers to first and foremost look after ourselves energetically. This can be as simple as placing your hands on your heart chakra when you go to bed and allowing the healing to do its thing. You see, reiki knows just where it is needed. It flows through the pathways. Therefore, it will work through any blockages, shift stagnant energy, bring energy to depleted spaces, and balance areas that are in excess.
We should all have self-care tools at our disposal. Once you are conscious of your connection to the flow of reiki, everything you touch can be imbued with its love. If you’re feeling anxious or stressed at work, it only takes a moment to connect with the energy intentionally. If you find it difficult to fall asleep or sleep through the night, reiki can help. The possibilities are endless.
