Hawthorn Blossom - Heart Energy |
As you move forward to give Reiki treatments both to yourself and to others, to your plants, or your animals or your space it is good to remember that Reiki comes from an infinite supply of energy & contains Love, Wisdom and the Highest Spiritual Power. There is no limit to the benefits nor power that you can receive from Reiki, and so there is no limit to the benefits for recipients of the Reiki you channel in a healing session.
The space in which your practice Reiki will help improve the quality and power of the energy, so it is important that you 'set the space' before you bring patients into that room. There are the simple, prosaic measures one ensures are correct for any healing room - that it is neither too hot or cold, that it is clean and tidy, without being too clinical. Remember that in an untidy or cluttered space, energy will tend to gather.
Clear the energy of the room .. you may smudge with sweet grass & sage, or use a bell, or a singing bowl, or incense, and you may wish to do this following the treatment, especially if you have more clients. As you cleanse the space, call upon your Guides, your Reiki Guides, the Ascended Masters and the Angels asking them to bless and support the healing of your client. You may also use fresh flowers, incense, essential oils, sound, or crystals to raise the vibrational frequency of the space. You may use 'higher consciousness' music to soothe and help yourself and/or the client into a more peaceful, relaxed and meditative state of being.
Before the client is due, sit in a meditative state with your hands on your legs allowing Reiki to heal your own being. When you have reached Reiki Okuden, you may draw a Reiki symbol of light on each wall. At Reiki Shoden level, you may use a universal symbol of Light that resonates with your soul. By drawing this symbol on each wall, the ceiling and the floor, your are warding and setting the space to be a sacred space.
You may wish to add words or a mantra to set this space as one of healing and sacredness. You may wish to do so for each symbol that you draw in energy, or you may project a symbol Reiki or otherwise, into the centre of the room, and allow that to fill the room or space with energy. If you are working outdoors, you may delineate your space and set a specific space for healing by creating a dome, or a healing space. This is more advanced, and will take practice but is attainable by all Reiki Practitioners.
You may also use a vibrational remedy to raise the vibration to set a sacred healing space. You will have seen me setting the healing space of the class. Filling the space with Reiki allows the healing session to remain a warded space.
As you progress you may find that it benefits your client to send/project the Reiki symbols to the client's crown do they may arrive for the session in a receptive state of being.
When allowing Reiki to flow into the client, it is well to be aware that no matter what your mind may be doing, or whatever conversation you may be having, the Reiki will continue to flow into the client to where it is required. However talking to others about non related subjects is not the most healing way of working with a client.
Giving Reiki is a spiritual and meditative experience and is most appropriately practiced with a reverence. If you meditate on the Reiki as it flows through you and out to the client, you will experience the energy in a more intense and direct manner, but it will also increase the flow and power. You may then notice the currents of Reiki flowing not only through the pure Crown Heart channel and hands, but also throughout the rest of your Hara line. If you meditate on the Reiki as it flows out, your mind and being will merge and align with the energy you are working with, in that moment. This means that the Reiki energy flows more freely as it is unimpeded by your mind, or your ego, and merely flows as you connect to that higher frequency energy and merge with the flow.
At this point, if you use your third or inner eye, you may be able to 'see' the Reiki energy flowing and this is the point at which you may find that you rise to the higher planes and accelerated esoteric and spiritual wisdom comes to you.

Ankh - Symbol of Light |
Shower of Light Exercise
This short exercise can be done in less than five minutes and its
effects can last for hours.
1.
Take a
deep breath and let it out slowly.
2.
With your
eyes open or closed, imagine that you are standing under a shower of light, or
a waterfall of light. If you have trouble with the image, recall how it feels
to stand in the shower at home, then just replace the water with light.
3.
Make the
light as beautiful as you can imagine. Make it as real as you can. Does it
glow? Does it sparkle? Does it shimmer? This light can be any colour you want,
many colours or pure white like the sun.
4.
Imagine
that this shower of light is lighting up your body, penetrating your energy
field, your clothing, and even your skin, becoming absorbed into your body. The
light travels through your nervous system, and through your bloodstream. You
breathe light in with each breath and breathe out any darker places with each
outbreath.
5.
Continue
until you can clearly imagine that you radiate light from the very centre of
your being. You are now composed of the beautiful light that still showers you.
You can stay like this for as
long as you want, or you can continue with the tasks of your day. When you
choose to return to your regular activities, notice how much more refreshed you
feel after the shower of light than before you started.
You can do this exercise as often
as you want through the day. It is a basic exercise that acts as a good overall
energy cleanser. It can serve as a pick-me-up if you feel your energy level has
dropped. And it can be used as a way to centre yourself when you are feeling
stressed or overwhelmed. Enjoy this light. It is who you are.
